Natasha Romanoff Died A Noble, Honorable Death. She Sacrificed Herself To Save Trillions Of People. She

natasha romanoff died a noble, honorable death. she sacrificed herself to save trillions of people. she knew she would die, and she didn’t hesitate. that’s a heroic death. and maybe, MAYBE that would be ok if the mcu didn’t have a history of fucking up their female characters. maybe if pepper wasn’t relegated to wife and mother, maybe if betty wasn’t completely forgotten about after incredible hulk, maybe if jane had more to do than be thor’s love interest, maybe if they gave maria hill an important role, maybe if they didn’t reduce maya hansen’s role to the point that her actress was disappointed with it, maybe if frigga wasn’t fridged to make thor and odin sad, maybe if they didn’t forget that sif existed, maybe if they gave sharon screentime and didn’t put her down in favor of peggy, maybe if they let gamora shine, maybe if nebula had more to do than be tortured on screen, maybe if wanda wasn’t whitewashed and goywashed and didn’t have her powers nerfed, maybe if the ancient one wasn’t whitewashed, maybe if they didn’t completely erase mantis’ backstory and powers and personality to instead make her into a subservient asian stereotype, maybe if they didn’t totally fuck over monica rambeau, maybe if carol had a significant role in endgame like they hyped her up to have, maybe if they didn’t kill shuri offscreen, maybe if they didn’t make peggy into a prize for steve at the end, maybe if nat herself didn’t have that wack characterization and arc (if you can even call it an arc) in aou and had consistent characterization throughout the movies and was allowed to develop as a character and had a funeral and wasn’t constantly sexualized and presented for the male gaze, then maybe. then maybe it would be okay for the only remaining female avenger to sacrifice herself in order for the plot to continue

a friendly reminder that microaggressions against asians can also look like this:

pretending to gag at asian food

pretending to be weirded out by asian customs and cultures

excusing cultural appropriation (often through ignoring the stories of asians who have been mocked for wearing their ethnic dress while praising a white person for doing so)

not trying to learn how to pronounce an asian person's ethnic name correctly, or asking, "can i call you by something else?"

adopting an asian name for the ~aesthetic~

using the words "oriental" and "exotic" to describe asian people, particular asian women

ignoring the experiences and stories of south, southeast, *edit* west asians, and central asians

making sweeping assumptions about asian countries (including their political, historical and cultural landscape)

treating the entire asian community as a monolith and ignoring the fact that the experiences of asian nationals are remarkably different from the asian diaspora/migrant community

co-opting asian aesthetics into creative media without acknowledging their history

Apparently Trump has now announced he is ignoring CDC guidelines for school’s reopening and will cut funding from schools that do not reopen normally saying that delaying reopening is a democrat scheme. Remember it’s a crime to not send your child to school if it’s open so children will be forced to go in unless their parents are wealthy enough to stay home to homeschool them.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, again and again: this isn’t about americans being too stubborn to wear masks.This isn’t about ‘American’s are just stupid and selfish’.  Our government is killing us. Don’t call it a suicide.
