I will never understand the obsession with trying to make Magneto not Jewish

You know what I do have one explanation. Leftists love his ideology but Magneto would have been a mega Zionist and I think they are uncomfortable with that

zaprowsdower27

He WAS a mega zionist. Is a mega zionist.

Both literally (the period of time beloved of shippers where he was close to Charles was when they were both living in Haifa and Erik/Max was working as a nazi hunter) and metaphorically (he has directly created or participated in the creation of between three and four New Homelands for Mutants to Flee To When Flatscans Inevitably Betray Them).

At least one of those Mutant Homelands he founded had a "Troubling Founding" involving a civil war against the previous oppressive literally-kept-mutants-as-slaves human government and the founding in question concluded with the expulsion of even innocent civilian human residents.

The reason fan-tourists insist he be something other than Jewish is very specifically because they love his ideology and uncompromising absolutist leave-no-quarter attitude but do not wish to confront the fact that the ideology and attitude they are praising is literally the Kahanism that they hate (or, if they insist that he changed and got better, that the "got better" they insist is different for Magneto is literally the Liberal Zionism they IRL insist is no different than Kahanism) and having it be Zionism That Never Involved Jews Or The Levant lets them ignore that cognitive dissonance.

It is a desperate attempt to avoid acknowledging their own Jew-Hate double standard hypocrisy.

shofarsogood

They really hate acknowledging that his transformation by Claremont was based on Begin.

He literally met Charles in Israel, where he lived after fleeing a mob in a Soviet country and they think he's not a Zionist.

i tried making a contrapuntal poem for hollanov, which can be read 3 ways: shane’s side alone, ilya’s side alone, or both sides together. inspired by the long game.

So, the other day, when I was discussing AO3's policy on solicitation, a tumblr user came at me saying that AO3's "no monetization/solicitation" rules were "bullshit" because nexus mods allows fan created mods to get paid.

Look at me.

Look at me right now.

AO3 protects you.

AO3 protects you and your works.

It protects your works from copyright strikes and DCMA takedowns.

It protects your work from advertisers.

It protects your work from overzealous legal challenges.

It protects your right to post adult content.

AO3 is non-profit and AO3 will never try to use you or your work to make a profit for themselves and AO3 will go to bat for you if someone tries to legally challenge you or your works.

Please respect AO3 and its mission.

ao3cassandraic

AO3 protects fandom from payment processors.

Mastercard has no reason to mess with AO3. Visa doesn't. PayPal doesn't. Stripe doesn't. There's no compensation-for-porn exchange happening. By design. BY DESIGN.

AO3's founders knew that AO3 needed to be set up to protect us from any and all avenues of attack on fanworks. They've managed it quite successfully.

All y'all who thought they didn't need to? Sit the fuck down and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

aardvarkingmad

Yes, this.

I'll go farther. Those of you who secretly (or not-so-secretly) yearn for AO3 to be attacked and destroyed because some piece of fiction it hosts offends you, or because the site is set up so you can't harrass and dox users you hate...yes, shut the fuck up. But more: eat shit and die, you would-be censors and bullies.

Getting back into doctor who again is reminding me just how pervasive antisemitism is in every fandom or media I have ever enjoyed and I might be losing my mind

dreidelsanddragons

Comment was deleted (fair enough) but someone asked for examples and I've already typed it up so here ya go:

Top 5:

Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (Jewish-coded villain doing profiteering)

The Church on Ruby Road (save Christmas by saving a baby about to be eaten by goblins)

The Witchfinders (claims there's no love in the bible until the new testament)

The slitheen as a concept (lizards in skin suits run the world and did 9/11 for money)

The Sun Makers (villain is a Jewish-coded tax collector).

There's a lot more across both classic and modern, and I've given less classic examples because I've not seen as much of it

dreidelsanddragons

Okay so I got into a reblog chain with someone but ended up blocking them (which apparently makes it harder for anyone to see the chain, not just me?). However, I think there's some useful resources in there for anyone confused by how some of these things are antisemitic, so I'll repeat it here. Have a good day and try not to pointlessly derail conversations about bigotry in media :)

In regards to point 2 [confusion about how the goblins are antisemitic]:

Over the last year, one of pop culture's favorite topics has been goblins. Yes, you read that correctly, goblins. In early 2022, comedian Jo

With the Wikipedia article on blood libel as a follow-up, because again the goblins in that episode are trying to eat a baby

All this combined with the Christmas theming and the fact they are killed by being impaled on a church...it leaves a bad taste in my mouth

For point 3 [where the supersecionism is in witchfinders], this is from the transcript:

Also, as someone working with religious texts most days for my degree, I need more people to know that JESUS WAS QUOTING THE TORAH. "Love your neighbour" is not unique to the new testament/Christianity

Also also, they knew this line was bad because it was edited out of the novelisation after backlash

For point 4 [realising that the lizards thing is comparable to conspiracy theories]: you seem to get it but not fully. Yes, there's conspiracy theorists that'll call Jews lizards, but even if they weren't lizards it'd still be an issue. Because people think Jewish people are infiltrating the government and doing things to harm the country/general population (like 9/11) for profit, same as the slitheen

I see how it is. When it’s one of your favs like Daniel Radcliffe, or RDJ, or Maya Rudolph, or Elizabeth Taylor, they’re not really Jewish™, because they’re also an atheist, or have mixed lineage, or aren’t “the right half,” or they converted.

Nevermind that there are articles, videos, etc. where these celebs directly say “I consider myself to be Jewish.” Nevermind that they’ve had Jewish weddings or funerals, nevermind that they have publicly claimed Jewish identities. You don’t want them to be Jewish, so they’re not.

But then when Jews are upset because somebody who describes their relationship to Jewishness as “having a half-Jewish parent” rather than being Jewish themselves, and writes with a narrative voice that suggests they are completely disconnected from any Jewish identity at all, makes offensive, antisemitic jokes, suddenly y’all are Wikipedia detectives coming at me with “Oh no, you can’t be mad at Trevor Noah for his comments; he has a jewish grandparent, so he’s Jewish too!”

Goyim, I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but you don’t actually get to define somebody’s Jewishness based on how convenient that Jewishness might be for you in a given situation. Our identities are not here for you to cherry pick, especially not when you want to do so in order to invalidate our feelings and experiences. Or at the very least, you could try not to be so damn obvious about it.

Can anyone stop being an anti black racist for a moment? I want a chance at enjoying things again

vithcy

I'm not even kidding it's so clear that everyone sees black people and especially black women as some sort of alternate species. I'm getting into doll collection & customization videos because I've been getting into collecting myself and toys and art are supposed to bring me happiness and even there I can't escape the anti blackness. Like... you're lucky if you find a character or doll that's consistently brown skinned and carefully designed in popular brands. Collectors will always favor light skin or fantasy colors anyways. I had to watch a white creator call a custom Garnet doll "dummy thicc" and describe her in progress proportions as "female rappery" why couldn't just have said curvy? You're not funny or cool and I'm very tired

I’ll take your “Jewish Ryland Grace” headcanon and raise you a “Jewish Eva Stratt.”

Think about it. An Eva Stratt raised Jewish but erased all public records connected to her people to protect them. So they wouldn’t be blamed for her mistakes. An Eva Stratt who wrapped her mission in Christian symbolism to make it more palatable to the public. An Eva Stratt who wholeheartedly believes in G-d.

An Eva Stratt who sits in the back during Yom Kippur services knowing the one person whose forgiveness she wants most can never grant it to her. An Eva Stratt who lit yahrzeit candles and says the Mourner’s Kaddish every year on the anniversary of the Hail Mary launch..just in case.

An Eva Stratt who chose to study history because of the stories her parents and grandparents told her of how their people were cast out and mistreated and killed over and over again - and she wanted to understand the why but could never find one. So she switched tracks to do everything in her power to make sure “Never again” wasn’t just a hollow slogan.

An Eva Stratt who knows how horrible humanity can be and still did everything in her power to ensure that they survived the impossible.

An Eva Stratt, who upon receiving the cure for the astrophage said the shehecheyanu for the first time in years.

….:Imagine a Jewish Eva Stratt.

You will never 100% idiotproof your creative work & if you try to, you will only succeed in smothering the soul out of it. btw

Ship dynamics are always like Sunshine and Sunshine protector~ Cinnamon roll and their grumpy one 🤗 Well what about 2 cunts. They're both cunts and that's the dynamic. cunt4cunt.

I think more non binary characters should be fat

rabbitkinglune777

fat and black and brown 👍🏾

rabbitkinglune777

kinda tired of non binary being tied to skinny androgyny that's mostly white. I say that's as a non binary transmasc/boy thing who's fat and black.

being non binary can look like anything and anyone but especially individuals who have different body types outside of thin. they can have body/facial hair too. show up for all enbies.

I have like this disgustingly romantic view that Sanji's true kindness is represented in how he both forgives and still loves the sea even though it put him through hell for months when he was a child but I'm just cheesy like that 😔

i've been in fandom for half of my life and it never ceases to amaze me how people with the most popular ships in fandom always manage to feel threatened by rare pairs.

nova-rogue

idk man someone drawing (or commissioning) art of their rare pair or someone writing fic of their rare pair--especially featuring a character you have in a more popular ship overall--isn't hurting you. it's never going to hurt you.

it's okay if you mute/block tags and people, but being mean and acting weird just shows you feel insecure and threatened.

need i remind you we are all just playing with dolls.
