ON STEVE ROGERS #1, ANTISEMITISM, AND PUBLICITY STUNTS
JESSICA PLUMMERÂ 5|26|16
[SPOILERS FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA: STEVE ROGERS #1 BELOW]
Yesterday, Marvel released the first issue of Captain America: Steve Rogers by Nick Spencer, Jesus Saiz, and Joe Caramagna. Itâs a pretty boilerplate (albeit beautifully depicted) story of a rejuvenated Steve Rogers back in the fieldâŚright up until he tosses an ally to his death and declares âHail Hydraâ in a final page splash. The whole thing is intercut with flashbacks to his childhood of a neighbor inviting Steveâs mother to a Hydra meeting, thus implying that Steve was indoctrinated as a child and has been a sleeper agent of Hydra all along.
This is comics, right? Unleash a shocking twist to get readers to pick up the next issue! Make everything All-New All-Different for a few months until things settle back into the status quo! Have a character behave so incongruously that fans just have to know why!
Except.
Except this is different than having Superman be a jackass to Lois and Jimmy on the cover of some Silver Age issue of Action. This is different than a kiss or a death or a resurrection. This is even different than the usual âwildly out of characterâ stunts that would normally have readers up in arms, like Batman using a gun.
Quick comics history lesson: Captain America was created in 1941 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby as a superpowered, super-patriotic soldier fighting the Axis forces. He was famously depicted punching out Adolf Hitler on the cover of his first appearance, inCaptain America Comics #1âwhich hit stands in December 1940, a full year before Pearl Harbor and before the United States joined World War II, making that cover a bold political statement.
You probably already knew that, but Iâd invite you to think about it for a minute. In early 1941, a significant percentage of the American population was still staunchly isolationist. Yet more Americans were pro-Axis. The Nazi Party was not the unquestionably evil cartoon villains weâre familiar with today; coming out in strong opposition to them was not a given. It was a risky choice.
And Simon and Kirbyâborn Hymie Simon and Jacob Kurtzbergâwere not making it lightly. Like most of the biggest names in the Golden Age of comics, they were Jewish. They had family and friends back in Europe who were losing their homes, their freedom, and eventually their lives to the Holocaust. The creation of Captain America was deeply personal and deeply political.
Ever since, Steve Rogers has stood in opposition to tyranny, prejudice, and genocide. While other characters have their backstories rolled up behind them as the decades march on to keep them young and relevant, Cap is never removed from his original context. He canât be. To do so would empty the character of all meaning.
But yesterday, thatâs what Marvel did.
Look, this isnât my first rodeo. I know how comics work. Heâs a Skrull, or a triple agent, or these are implanted memories, or itâs a time travel switcheroo, or, or, or. Thereâs a thousand ways Marvel can undo this revealâand they will, of course, because theyâre not about to just throw away a multi-billion dollar piece of IP. Steve Rogers is not going to stay Hydra any more than Superman stayed dead.
But Nazis (yes, yes, I know 616 Hydra doesnât have the same 1:1 relationship with Nazism that MCU Hydra does) are not a wacky pretend bad guy, something I think geek media and pop culture too often forgets. They were a very real threat that existed in living memory. They are the reason I canât go back to the villages my great-grandparents are from, because those communities were murdered. They are the reason I find my family name on Holocaust memorials. They are the perpetrators of unspeakable, uncountable, very real atrocities.
Itâs easy, especially if youâre not Jewish, to think that anti-semitism is a thing of the past. Itâs not. It flies under the radar, mostly, until suddenly it doesnât: with graffiti in Spain, hateful party games in American high schools, vicious threats being flung at Jewish journalists for criticizing Trump. With physical attacksâwith deathsâin France. Nor is neo-Nazi rhetoric, which hews closer to 616 Hydraâs shtick, a goofy make-believe thing. Not when the Republican presidential nominee spouts fascist ideology that echoes Hitlerâs rise to power and spurs a literal rise in hate crimes against Muslims.
But writer Nick Spencer and editor Tom Brevoort are more concerned with making this âsomething new and unexpectedâ; with having âfunâ and getting readers âinvested in Hydra characters.â Because whatâs more fun than downplaying genocide?
Iâm not going to pretend to be cool here. Iâm emotional. This is emotional. Captain America isnât even my usual guy to get incandescently angry over the erasure of his coded Jewish historyâ thatâs Kal-El, the Moses of Kryptonâbut reading this comic made me feel sick to my stomach. Reading the flippant responses of many non-Jewish readersâincluding friendsâhas brought me to tears. Somehow a community that gets up in arms about whether or not Batman has a yellow circle behind his logo seems to think that being angry about this is stupid, or indicative of a lack of experience with comics.
So let me be very clear: I donât care if this gets undone next year, next month, next week. I know itâs clickbait disguised as storytelling. I am not angry because omg how dare you ruin Steve Rogers forever.
I am angry because how dare you use eleven million deaths as clickbait.
I am angry because Steve Rogersâs Jewish creators literally fought in a war against the organization Marvel has made him a part of to grab headlines.
I am angry because the very real pain of the Jewish community has been dismissed since this news leaked on Tuesday night as âTwitter outrage.â
If this story doesnât hurt you? Good. Iâm genuinely glad. I donât want anyone else to have the gorge rise in their throat when they read the entertainment news. I love comics. I donât want them to make people feel angry and betrayed. But understand that not feeling that way comes from a place of privilege, and donât dismiss the concerns of those of us who are upset just because you have the luxury not to be.
Iâve been trying to think of how to finish this post, but I donât think I can say it better than my friend and fellow Panelteer Sigrid Ellis did here:
And knowing that this wound is temporary, that itâs for the sake of sales and money and a story beat, that just makes it hurt more, not less. How little we must matter, the people who needed Steve to be the defender of the underdog and the weak, how little we must matter if betraying us for a story beat is so easy.
How little must we matter. The people who created Captain America, and Superman, and countless other heroes like them. The people who need him. The people whose history and suffering and hope, as we stood on the brink of annihilation, gave you your weekly entertainment and your fun thought experiment, 75 years later.
I hope it was worth it, Marvel.

We, the Computer Science students at the University of Georgia, feel that the University is not doing enough to provide the academic resources that are needed for a successful education at the University. One of the biggest examples of this is the lack of faculty in the department for its size (23 faculty...
Hey guys so if you saw me making my rant about my college being trash earlier, my fellow Computer Science majors put together this petition to get the attention of our dean because weâve all had enough. It talks about the issue more and someone has even included a doc on the statistics to show just how bad the number of seats offered for classes is. Itâd mean a lot as weâre paying all this money to try and further our education, but it honestly looks like our tuition is doing absolutely nothing.
Update: weâre starting to get news attention so this is def a good sign finally!!! Weâre also gathering support from our fellow professors.
BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL!

Funny Story
So my 7th grade biology teacher was a little kooky. He liked to make a bunch of different little tiny jokes and get us in tune with the class. He also always drank coffee all the time, and his coffee stirrer was some sort of bone, but whenever someone asked him what bone it was he would always answer with âYouâll all learn eventuallyâ and then changed the subject. The end of the year rolled around and our last couple of lessons were the sex ed unit. My middle school was pretty liberal but it is still Texas and there are some laws about sex ed in place that make it a short unit. Anyway, we went over male genitalia and he was talking about how penis-havers donât have any bones in their penises, but there are some animals that do, including the raccoon. He then held up his coffee stirrer to show the class what a raccoon penis bone looked like. Let me repeat, he had been stirring his coffee with a raccoon penis bone all year and didnât tell anyone.
JESUS CHRIST I ALMOST JUST PISSED MYSELF
THIS IS THE FUCKING BEST VIDEO IN THE WORLD
@missmikalo is this true?
Yes. Our roads are interesting/fun to drive on âcause theyâre squiggly wiggly, but oh my god this is the price we pay during rush hour.
I love this man omfg
This is the best thing Iâve seen today
Hey guys! I know Iâm not very popular on this site anymore but I have a favor to ask.
For AP Studio Art, Iâm putting together a concentration on the concept of home. I need people from a wide variety of backgrounds to interview about their life and what the concept of home means to them. From there, I will be painting their concept of home in oil paints to create a 12 piece collection to submit to the College Board next year. Right now Iâm looking for 6 people to interview over Skype. Please message me to let me know if youâre interested or have any questions by Tumblr messaging me.
What Iâm looking for in an interviewee:
REQUIRED: Willingness to answer pretty personal questions about their life and experiences (I wonât make you answer anything you donât feel comfortable answering, but I need a decent chunk of information to be able to fit together to a piece of art about you!)
Able to talk on Skype for at least an hour
Comfortable with the conversation being recorded
PREFERRED (you donât need all of these to qualify, just one or two): From a non-English speaking country
Of a religion other than Christianity or Atheism
On an âextremeâ (i.e. extremely rich or extremely poor, extremely happy or extremely depressed)
Interesting and/or unusual life
Could you guys help me out by reblogging this? Thank you!

I was so shocked when I found out that the Shadow Realm wasnât even a real concept in the Yugioh universe but, rather, an invention by 4kids to avoid mentioning death in the English dub
WHAT
WH
WHAT
MY SWEET SWEET FRIENDS
LORDY
U DO NOT KNOW ABOUT YUGIOH!!
YUGIOH WAS 100% ORIGINALLY⌠A HORROR MANGA, I AM HONESTLY NOT KIDDING YOU, it was intended to be a violent horror manga
GO ON, GO TRY AND READ IT ON MANGAFOX. ITâS FUCKED UP.
Before the concept of Duel Monsters was even introduced to the series, Yugioh was about Yami Yuugi basically being a murderous fuck who enjoyed punishing people with âshadow gamesâ that ended with losers being, uh, electrocuted to death, burnt alive, and a whole host of other horrific deaths. Other screwed up subplots include Kaiba being totally obsessed with murdering Yuugi/Yami and building an entire theme park to try to do so, Mokuba (Kaibaâs sweet lil brother) attempting to kill half the cast by forcing them to compete in a Russian Roulette with poisoned food, Anzu/Tea being drugged by a classmate with chloroform and almost assaulted, Jounouchi/Joey being kidnapped by a gang heâs been hanging out with and tortured with tasers before Yami electrocutes the gang and kills them all, quite happily, to save Jounouchi, multiple people getting set on fire, a man getting his head bitten off by Shadiâs pet crocodile Amet monster, the list goes on and on. Iâm not entirely sure if itâs included in the anime or not, but Bakura gouges out Pegasusâ eyeball.
I honestly ended up stopping reading the manga because it was getting to be too violent and morbid for even my tastes
So yeah, in the original Duel Monsters Yugioh anime, people die. Death is a real threat. Even though itâs significantly toned down from the original first few arcs of the manga, which are just bizarre. Almost every instance of characters being sent to the âshadow realmâ in the 4Kids dub is censored âIâm going to murder youâ plot points. Oh boy does 4 Kids tone down the violence.
Hereâs a delightful episode from the anime some may remember; Yami Yuugi fights some weird stage magician guy and during the duel theyâre both strapped into buzzsaws which slowly approach their feet as they lose life points. No biggy - the loser just gets sent to the shadow realm!
Except in the original, the threat is that the loser of the game is going to get their legs sawn off and bleed to death.
So, yknow, now you know that not only did they censor Kaibaâs gun, but just a whole bunch of brutal violence and murder as well!
A lesser known fact about Yugioh is that thereâs a missing season - Season 0, aired in 1998, which follows the plot line of the original initial manga volumes before Yugioh became an anime and manga about playing card games. Itâs still significantly toned down from the manga but is a little closer to theme and vibe.
So yeah, welcome to Yugioh, which is definitely intended for little children!
@drinkingchildtears
I need feminism; because the bra straps of a twelve year old shouldnât make a 40 year old married principal with two daughters âuncomfortableâ
So am I allowed to walk around adult women who are mothers and grandmothers at work with my cock out or what
in what world is someoneâs dick equivalent to a fucking bra strap
itâs chill, heâs just comparing by width
ok listen⌠you r literally the only person iâm telling this. just.. donât tell anybody bud, but
i couldnât sleep, so I decided to just start flicking through some internet TV things, like Netflix, Crunchyroll, etc.
and I found
{{Â VOICE QUIVERINGÂ }}
this ANIME~~~~
called âSHE AND HER CATâ.
and itâs just itâs about
this girl and her cat.
but⌠itâs from the perspective of the cat. who LOVES HER.
SO MUCH.
and⌠the whole show is just about how happy he is to be her cat and how he thinks sheâs amazing and the best ever
itâs a whole SHOW ABOUT HOW MUCH THIS CAT AND HUMAN LOVE EACH OTHER
AND HOW HAPPY HE IS TO ALWAYS BE THERE FOR HER
AND, AND, AND THE SECOND EPISODE IS JUST THEM REMINISCING ABOUT THE FIRST day they metâŚ
and i SWEAR ON MY LIFE, I am a grown 30-year-old man with a successful business
reduced to literal tears
because it made me miss having a cat SO MUCH that I just cannot deal without ranting on Tumblr!!!
I mean come onâŚÂ
She always comes home exhausted.
She brings the smell of a faraway town I donât know.
I live in my own time, and she lives in her own time.
So these moments when my time and hers intersect
are more precious to me than anything
itâs SO MELODRAMATIC AND SO SWEET AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPYÂ
FULL ON TEARS.Â
OUGHH MY HEARTâŚ
SCREAMS
@dirtylarge LETS CRY TOGETHER.
@imogens-small-world @indeliblex
Me and my fiancĂŠe have been together two years, and living together for a year and nine months, and we are getting married in less than a year. Today, we found out one of her family members had thought this whole time that we were just close friends- that I had moved 300 miles to find a job up here so we could share a house, and she was âhappy we had maintained a friendship this longâ. We even sent her a wedding invite, and she thought it was a friendship wedding. We are the ultimate gal pals!
It might just save your life
Sometimes not even politeness will save you. Tamir Rice didnât get the chance to be polite. Aiyana Jones didnât get the chance to be polite. Sometimes it happens with no warning.
The part of parenthood that is lowkey KILLING me.
Iâm not looking forward to this talk đ
I cry at the thought of having this talk with my childrenâŚespecially considering that I didnât get this talk.
