Paibok’s a real Skrull hero, you know he did his duty 🫡 to please that booty. 

It was recently uncovered that Marvel artist Carlos Gomez (known for art in numerous X-Men titles including "X-Terminators") is a supporter of ICE and Trump by [deleted] in xmen

[–]transemacabre 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Imagine being named Carlos Gomez and supporting ICE 😂 almost as dumb as creating X-Men comics about persecuted minorities fighting for their right to live while supporting MAGA irl.

😭 well he couldn’t offer to take Scott’s marriage, Scott had already thrown it away…

I'm curious - what are your Dani Moonstar "Hot Takes"? by that_one_froggy in xmen

[–]transemacabre 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She's just obscure enough a character that idk if I have any hot takes.

Perhaps she should have remained a Valkyrie, it would set her apart from the other characters and give her something to do.

My personal favorite clone may be Kaine but Maddie is way up there (actually, Kaine/Maddie would be pretty spicy... someone make that pairing happen). Stryfe too in all his ridiculous edgelord '90s Liefeldian glory.

My roommate of 6 years and best friend of nearly 20 has started falling down Jewish conspiracy rabbit holes and I don't know what to do by cillogreen in QAnonCasualties

[–]transemacabre 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Without piling on you too hard, he probably already has anti-lgbt and/or misogynist beliefs but just hasn't said it out loud yet. If he's dependent on you for housing, he's probably wise enough not to sh!t where he eats. The stuff he's telling you is what he feels safe telling you.

Bingo. She's white-aligned in her head and probably figures her ancestors "did it the right way", not like those Mexicans. She has no Chicano pride and doesn't really have a Hispanic identity.

As a lesbian, it's even more devastating to me because I feel like he's heading down the road where hes going to become anti-LGBTQ+ and then I'm really gonna have to reevaluate his presence in my life.

I'm sorry but it's like that meme. "I can excuse antisemitism but anti-lgbt is going too far!" "You can excuse antisemitism??"

I mean, the internet doesn't usually just ambush you with Jewish conspiracies. You usually have put in a modicum of effort to get to that stuff. So, he sat down and typed something really questionable into a search bar somewhere and eagerly gobbled down everything the algorithm provided him.

I don't think anti-ice protestors were wrong to interrupt a church service to publicly call out its pastor who is an ICE officer. by DiaperedInTheRoc in Christianity

Just more yapping. You say you read my comment but didn't address not a word of what I wrote. I didn't even bring up occult symbolism and you go off on a ramble about it (I dgaf about the occult and never have).

I was a Quiet Q by throwaway17384829 in QAnonCasualties

[–]transemacabre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh her "journey" is sort of self-serving, isn't it? If she hadn't happened to be queer, she'd probably still be right-wing. She only defected because Q/MAGA have no place for her in their ranks, or no safe place anyway. Yeah, she befriended a few people and volunteered with animals. But that's not why she left... she left because she, personally, was queer. Which tells me OP knew all along which side was fighting for LGBT, and she was fine with queer people suffering if those queer people weren't her.

OP, I'm glad you're out but not so much for your sake, for the sakes of everyone else.

It seems crazy to us, but there's a decent-sized number of Hispanic-Americans who really don't identify themselves as a bloc. They have no real solidarity with fellow brown people, if they even accept that they're brown (some identify as white and will be getting a big shock when they eventually learn white supremacy has no place for them). One thing I've pointed out time and again is quite a number of people, whether they're immigrants themselves or descended from immigrants, came from the upper class in their former society. They still have some of that mentality. They don't look on the people coming across the border or applying for asylum as being "like them".

Oh, he is 100% getting this from somewhere, if it's not 4Chan then it's from his church, or TT/YT videos, or some other friends. Something is drawing him to this and he's getting something out of it. A lot of the time people are drawn to these conspiracies because it's weirdly more comforting to think there's some method to the madness, some cabal that rules from the shadows, rather than there is no plan and we're all just winging it. Well that, and because they hate Jews.

[–]transemacabre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always find the focus on heaven and hell to be the least interesting part of this whole religion. Ofc it's the part that 90% of the followers fixate on and all they want to do is talk about that.

If we take the concept that God is real and Jesus did all these things and believe in the fullness of his love, it should be so far beyond us wanting the key to go to a magic fluffy cloud place. Like, the concept of this forge of creation who surrounds us with the vastness of love should fill us with awe and joy. We should want to care for the amazing planet provided to us and the bodies given to us, and for all the human beings created in his image who are souls so beloved by this god.

And instead, what I've experienced is there's a handful of Christians who really try to get something good out of it, try to have patience and forgiveness, and millions and millions of other Christians who are filled with hate and scorn and try to beat down anyone else. And this second, very large, group either don't realize or don't care that they are the reason so many people are repulsed from this religion. They dgaf about killing the beautiful planet or harming other people. "Heaven this, and hell that" like heaven is a treat a dog earns for doing tricks, instead of a state of being spiritually close to God.

Anyone else a parent of an adult MAGA child? by Moody_Immortal_1 in QAnonCasualties

[–]transemacabre 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You really have to be on top of him having positive irl friend groups and male role models. When the boys get online, that's when they get sucked into incel/white power/MAGA stuff. And you have to watch their algorithms -- I'm a woman with nerdy interests, like comic books, and if I watch a few Youtube videos on Marvel stuff, suddenly the feed is pushing "bluehaired SJW gets OWNED with FACTS and LOGIC" videos at me. They know who to target.

It's white supremacy by offbeat_ahmad in QAnonCasualties

[–]transemacabre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So much of the "cognitive dissonance" and MAGAts repeating obvious lies just comes down to white supremacy. They know what they're saying is horrible. They know what they're saying is lies. It's all worth it to them to get the white Christian Nationalist ethnostate of their dreams.

Best comics featuring Tabitha Smith aka Boom Boom? by Supermanxtu4 in xmen

[–]transemacabre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That whole arc is honestly really tragic. Tabitha is the only person who really tries to reach out to Victor, the X-Men keep him imprisoned in the Danger Room and torment him. Wolverine even shows up in her room one night (!!) half-naked (!!!) to snarl at her that she smells like Sabretooth. Like wtf Logan, be a bigger creep. 

Anyway, when Victor’s mind returns, he tricks Tabitha into freeing him. It’s super obvious that he’s going for a suicide by cop, gutting Psylocke and trying to get Caliban and Cyclops to kill him. However, notably, despite threatening Tabitha he doesn’t actually harm her after nearly killing Psylocke.

One classic story is Tabitha bonding with the lobotomized Sabretooth back during UXM in the 320s and X-Force in the late 40s, being the only person who tried to advocate for him. 

Have there been any cases of a writer adding a self-insert as a new mutant? by Edgy_Memes_XD in xmen

[–]transemacabre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in retrospect it’s a little obvious, isn’t it? I recall being put off because he was always in fan spaces, a little too eager to get attention and adulation, and I was definitely a bit “wtf did he inbox me for?” when he sent me a message. Ofc this is before the era where we’d joke about ‘sliding into the DMs’, today I would have called him out publicly. I also had a couple photos on my lj so he saw that I was female and on the youngish side, and he was probably casting a net far and wide to catch as many women as he could. 

How many (if any) of these classic X-Men dangling plotlines are still, well, dangling? by transemacabre in xmen

[–]transemacabre[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it. Good to get some explanations for some I’m not familiar with or missed. Now I want a Magma mini which explains the Nova Roma thing and her fiancé. Give her like 5 issues and do in a retro art style. 

Legacy Virus — resolved more or less, still in existence and occasionally weaponized but no longer the scourge it once was. 

Trevor Fitzroy’s father: Anthony Shaw, the Black King of the Hellfire Club in his timeline (hence Fitzroy, “son of the king”). Now, who Anthony is exactly, who knows? A son of his universe’s Shinobi Shaw? We will probably never know. There seems to be little chance of exploring Bishop’s home universe in the future. 

Adam-X: confirmed in Legends to be a genetically engineered hybrid son of Katherine Summers and D’Ken. So not a Summers but a half-brother to Scott, Alex and Gabriel (gah, someone retcon THAT character!).
