I just saw the actual words ‘We know Magneto’s story intimately. It has been told often. He was a victim once. And then he decided that Genocide was okay. ‘ used by someone trying to assert that Magneto is a bad bad naughty villain and not a victim at all except oh that one time
I
I have no words
I’m really glad someone else called out that bullshit before I did. People just whittling down 50 years of characterization to “And then he decided Genocide was okay” like???
Max I didn’t realise you reblogged it with that gif I’m dying.
But yeah what ahuraboltagon said. At the risk of coming off as Taking Fiction Way Too Seriously, I also find it sketchy as hell to say something like ‘he was a victim once’ to describe like…living through the Holocaust…and general oppression…that persists through his (and other mutants’) entire life…y'know.
