Yeah, it's called 'being a badass!'

Countdown to Avengers: Infinity War

36 days - War Machine/James Rhodes

Finished!

now it’s “I personally hate his character and so no one else is allowed to like this character and I’m going to deliberately ignore 95% of this character’s story and 96% of the canon facts we have about them and instead focus on the parts I Personally Hate and then claim that that’s All There Is To This Character. I will make so many posts about this and talk about this character in this way with such mind-numbing frequency that other people will absorb my opinions as Facts and I will encourage them to spread these Facts on any and every post about this character that they see. This is a reasonable and rational thing to do and if the people who like them don’t agree then they’re Abuse Apologists.

I will put the fact that I personally do not like this character on Every Single Post About This Character that I come across. I will make hate posts for this character and tag them so that people who like them will have to see it. I will write articles about how much I hate this character. I will send asks to people who like this character about how much I hate this character. I will send hate and death threats to people who like this character. 

I will have a mental list of buzzwords like “abuser” and “racist” and “trump/nazi-supporter” and “pedophile” and I will bend and/or completely ignore canon to make sure this character could Theoretically be any of these. I will then report my findings as Fact, because this makes my opinion of this fictional character seem like a Clear Moral Choice instead of just me being a person who is allowed to not like things. I will have a mental list of every single one of this character’s flaws, which will include such things as “alcoholism” and “symptoms of their canonical mental illness” which I will of course exclusively discuss as being Moral Failings on the part of that character.

Everyone needs to know that I hate his character and everyone needs to stop liking him because I Say So and My Personal Negative Opinion is That Fucking Important“ 

“Do you think anybody’s listening?”

That’s okay, Rhodey, there are others who do!

Last year we got so many lovely works for the bash, this year we’re getting the word out even earlier to let more people join in! 

RhodeyTony, Rhfe, Iron Husbands, whatever you call is, this ship is definitely underappreciated and we want to fill up the tumblr and AO3 tags. This bash is a free-for-all: no need to sign up or register. Just start working on any kind of creation and post to tumblr or AO3 in November to celebrate!

Lila leans against his side, mirroring his crossed arms. Harley is crouched on the other side, tongue out and doing a “rock on” sign with his hands. Peter stands behind Harley and Rhodey doing… nothing in particular, actually. Whoops… Love you, Pete~]
