Like or reblog if you save <3

I just noticed this…

This is a screenshot from Avengers Age of Ultron of Laura and Clint Barton’s new son.

HIS NAME IS NATHANEIL PIETRO BARTON.

Hawkeye gave his son the middle name of his fallen friend. Who deep down, he really did care about.

I totally didn’t need my heart, marvel.

Wind in my hair, I was there. I was there.

“We keep moving and we don’t play circle of life, we just play.”

- “How long before you trust me?”

- “It’s not you I don’t trust.”

you know, when Marvel did that shitty plotline about Cap being a Hydra agent (aka a Nazi) I wasn’t pleased, but I saw a ton of activity on my dash about it. People were angry. I think it was trending on Twitter.

personally, as a Jewish girl, I was a lot more hurt when the MCU had Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, two Jewish and Rroma children of Holocaust survivors, whitewashed and volunteer to join Hydra. And when that happened, I never saw a single post about it. No one cared, even though the thing with Cap was a gimmick, and the thing with the twins was outright ignorant anti-Semitism.

I understand that Steve Rogers is everyone’s favorite white guy. I understand. but if you care more about that than the Romanoffs, then I’m not sure you understand much of anything.

I see that the same writer who did Captain America is a Nazi has written Magneto is a Hydra Nazi too. and I see exactly oneperson on my dash posting about it.

now, maybe it’s my own fault for following the wrong blogs. maybe I expected too much of people, to care about things like this, things that affect Jews.

when I made a post about the Cap thing a few months back, I was yelled at by a Holocaust denier and whined at by a white German who was “tired of being blamed” for history, as though history is not our responsibility, as though history is not always right beside us.

so here is my post about the Magneto-Nazi-Hydra thing: the political climate has been harshly anti-Semitic lately. it’s been anti- a lot of things obviously. but my people’s cemeteries are being destroyed, my people’s places of worship and community are being threatened, I have seen more swastikas this year than I have in the past five, and Marvel just put their single most iconic Jewish character in line with their fictional Nazi order. and one fucking person on my dash is talking about that.

I expected better. I don’t know why I expected better. no one in this modern world seems to know how to treat Jews. are we people of color? are we a minority? are we white? are we all Zionists? what are we and where do we fit?

you don’t need to have all the answers. I know I don’t. it would just be nice to know that someone gives a shit, now of all times, about how my people get represented and treated in the media. there’s been so much anti-Semitism in the news lately, maybe you don’t know what to say. to say about the real news or this Marvel plotline or any of it.

so you know. if you even care at all about something that harms my community much more than everyone’s favorite white guy getting a stupid plotline, could you say something? anything? don’t just “like” a post, it’s useless. if you don’t know what to say, reblog this, reblog something else, I don’t care how you do it, just say something. anything.

please. please say something. we can’t drown out their voices on our own.

SPREAD THIS POST

I have criticized Age of Ultron numerous times to my very understanding and patient friends, but never because of Pietro and Wanda. Truth be told, I never even thought about it. I took it for granted that the twins are canonically Jewish and Romani and didn’t think of the ramifications of them joining Hydra. But it’s not okay. It will never be okay, and it’s disheartening that it took the debacle with Hydra!Cap for people (myself included) to notice. The best thing allies can do is to raise up the voices of others, so if you see this, reblog it, show a friend, keep the conversation going. Spread Jewish voices, black voices, LGBT voices, EVERYONE’S VOICES. Celebrate Pietro and Wanda’s heritage. Make sure no one forgets where our heroes come from.

the fact that buckynat is not canon in the MCU was the worst decision they made. also steve ruining peggy’s life after she moved on
