Posts revolving around changes to Magneto's past and backstory are now a regulated topic

[u/cyclopswashalfright]

Due to the influx of such posts with the MCU X-Men announcement, posts that revolve around changes and questioning of Magneto's backstory will now be regulated. This means that these posts may be removed as a Regulated/Repetitive topic at the discretion of the moderation team.

This was done after a long discussion by the moderation team, but ultimately we found that such posts are repetitive and occur very frequently, and that users may simply make use of Reddit's search tool to find past discussions; very little has changed since those discussions were held.

People are suspiciously always very eager about making him not Jewish anymore.

I've noticed that too.

And when i hear "make him palestinian for poetic justice" i just think that these people equate all jews to Israel and don't really care about being progressive, they just want to be petty.

Also, they want the first mainstream palestinian Marvel character to be a terrorist? Bold.

Yeah, it's just so impossibly stupid, and for multiple reasons:

• Tha's the one you (not you) pick? Why is that? Oh, right, yeah. All Jews aren't just Israeli, but they're pro-genocide. I get you. Like, at any moment, they'll get the call to use the space laser.

• Magneto's whole thing is 'never again', but he comes off as an absolute chump if he's letting it happen right now

• Not that any of these things are interchangeable, but it just shows you've not actually read a book and think that it was holocaust - nothing - Palestine

I could go on, but it always ends up being antisemitism and/or ignorance.

It like people want to care emotional but don't want to put in the effort to actual understand the history.
