magneto in my icon is judging you

[strobelighted]

Why in the world would you fancast Erik Lehnsherr as an SS officer? Like, what possibly could be going through your mind to think this was a good idea?? This is just disgusting

...I am judging that person's choices so hard I think I am going to sprain my judging muscle. What. Why. What?

[strobelighted]

RIGHT???? I just. Why even?

[strobelighted]

I don't even know, man. I just don't.

Srsly wtf.

Haha, Ash, I went on tumblr to see the wank because I am a glutton for punishment, and IT IS SO BAD. There are people actually defending this and also people who are saying all the critics of this piece are just being ~mean~. UGH I HATE EVERYONE

I was like "Surely this is fanfic for an AU where Erik is undercover as an SS officer for the purpose of KILLING NAZIS", but then I clicked through, and oh. :(

[strobelighted]

Nope! The worst part is that I think the artist intended for Erik to be an actual SS officer, and then saw some of the backlash and was like, lol well you can interpret him as just pretending, and it's just so clear that she doesn't get why it's so offensive, and I just. WHY.

It blows my mind how uneducated people can be about this, even in this day and age. And the ridiculous justifications, it turns my stomach.

[strobelighted]

I know. All the justification is really just so gross.
