jewish person on tumbler dot com: “hey it freaks me out that so many people make excuses for nazi charcters and turn nazi imagery and fascism into a silly joke ex: hail hydra, the first order, etc, can tumblr fandom please stop for a second and think about what they’re doing and why it might be harmful”
5000 non-jewish, non-rromani tumbler dot com users screaming and falling over each other: “clearly you dont understand the nazi trope in popular culture. let me, someone who has no personal ties to the holocaust explain to you, a jewish person, why you’re overreacting and taking away my fun,”

November 10th 1938.
German and Austrian civilians and authorities take part in a state pogrom, destroying Jewish businesses, synagogues, schools and ultimately, lives.

what the fuck?
i’ve probably phrased that too vaguely and worried you – for that post specifically it was the camp badges, though other stuff too like you see the lines of numbers used ‘for effect’. Not explicitally nazi symbolism – that’s kind of a different problem, and would be more scary
but this freaks me out in a ‘oh one of my art posts got notes I’ll just check them, yep totally wanted to think about the holocaust right now thats not at all traumatic’ way basically.
I am okay though, if you are worried
I feel like there’s something ironic about Marvel starting out as anti-nazi propaganda and ending up not only tiptoeing around hydra’s nazi affiliation in the movies but erasing the jewish-romani background of two character’s that now work with them, as well as getting half the fandom to fanboy over nazi and nazi affiliated characters
and by ironic i mean fucking terrible
