i think when people don't drop with deets it's because the deets are specific to them and they're afraid to out themselves, so they leave the comment blank and hope someone else will chime in with something.
Anon, this hobby this is a hobby where a bunch of fucking nerds write collaborative fanfiction on the internet. There isn't a good reason for any of this shit.
i used to play orochimaru and every sasuke player i played with has this headcanon. he's a creeper i'll give you that, but i'm not playing him as a pedo for your shitty headcanon.
because gender insecurities and body dysphoria are actually really common for a whole lot of non-trans reasons, but tumblr would lead you to believe that if you have these things, you must automatically be trans.
I finally got my glowing chicken three weeks ago after over a YEAR of running the damn raid. I still can't get Onyxia to drop her drake. My ass is windwalking away from all this shit.
"it's all propaganda!" anon up there is completely ignoring who and what that propoganda was for. because captain america was created by jewish comic creators and his story was that of the son of irish immigrants (another group who got shat on but not as much by this era thus more acceptable for a stand-in), who fights to uphold the american ideal, even if it goes against the status quo at the time. the times that he's be intentionally used to force that status quo (like anti-commie!cap), usually end up retconned, explained away, or flat out ignored later on because good writers get that isn't who steve rogers is meant to be.
now in today we look at his character and go "what a stereotype" but a lot of that stereotype exists BECAUSE of him. it's like calling romeo and juliet a stereotype based on modern media.
it feels like a lot of the anons here are passing judgments and making statements that make no sense when you consider context and history, but they probably know nothing really about the character and are talking out of their asses anyway.
especially if you do what tumblrinas do and invent things to be offended by. "this character stood in this stance rather than the other stance, which means he was thinking this, which means this episode is sexist and the whole show is problematic."
captain america was created with flaws. he has plenty of them. tumblr idiots who make him a sjw mouthpiece are stupid. you are just as stupid as making up shit based on your flawed and ignorant views of history and the character's creation to make that case.
Which then immediately, with no hesitation, turns into "you're the worst person ever for even liking this show, let alone even mentioning it in my presence, fuck you."
Which, while I'm trying not to value peoples' opinions so much, is fucking ridiculous.
Because it's always such minor bullshit, or something ridiculous.
captain america is not the champion of ~minorities~ no matter how much you try to spin him into one. he is literally a blond-haired, blue-eyed, jackboot wearing propaganda device
one that was created with plenty of ironic touches for idiots like you to cream themselves over, yes, but a propaganda device nonetheless. his whole deal pretty much for his first couple decades of existence was 'that guy that punched hitler'
no one here is claiming that he's a champion of minorities.
that doesn't make him a blindly homophobic, racist, sexist, fundie idiot who would support repairative therapy. not in mcu, and sure as fuck not in comics canon.
you can argue that you think the canon is stupid in spite of being historically accurate if you want to (you'd be wrong, but you can), but that doesn't make him not screaming slurs and recoiling in horror canon. or supporting any other bullshit that's not liberal progressive shit.
