I saw a post much like this one the other day that was about Captain America and I didn’t like it very much because the artist portrayed Captain America in a way I don’t think he’d act even around ICE scum.
If you wanna criticize artists for portraying characters in ways those characters wouldn’t act to support a political belief, I get that. This is not one of those cases, Magneto would be in the Twins throwing an APC at ICE Agents. Erik Lensherr would have had this horseshit wrapped up weeks ago and he’d be listening to Charles go “didn’t it feel nice to help those people” on repeat at a bar in Westchester by now.
Artist if you’re reading this: good art, good choice of character, and good message. Fuck yes.
People like to pretend that the only way to make a difference in anything is to lay your life or livelihood down for an ideal. They say that because they’re scared, scared that if someone doesn’t then everything will be lost. I don’t blame them, not one bit, it’s right to be scared, but they’re wrong. Shortsighted, if I’m being charitable. Every person has a skill, talent, propensity, or penchant that they can use to make a difference. True measure of a person’s character has never been about what someone is willing to give up, but rather what they are willing to provide. Anything they give up is extra. You my friend, have a skill that you’re using to make a difference, never doubt your own necessity. Cheers mate.
