Oh Yes

Chechnya is holding gay men in concentration camps

Gay men are being held in “camps” in the Chechen Republic where they are subjected to torture and beatings, human rights campaigners have claimed.

More terrible, deeply triggering news from Chechnya in Russia: Reports indicate that gay men are not only being abducted, but held in concentration camps, where they are being tortured and a few have been killed.

The claims follow reports last week that 100 gay men had been rounded up and imprisoned in Chechnya, with at least three people allegedly murdered. The allegations were made by a Russian newspaper and human rights campaigners. “In Chechnya, the command was given for a ‘prophylactic sweep’ and it went as far as real murders,” independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta claimed. […]

Speaking to the MailOnline, Svetlana Zakharova from the Russian LGBT network, said:  “Gay people have been detained and rounded up and we are working to evacuate people from the camps and some have now left the region.

“Those who have escaped said they are detained in the same room and people are kept altogether, around 30 or 40. They are tortured with electric currents and heavily beaten, sometimes to death.”

I don’t have words. Amnesty International is circulating a petition seeking justice. Hold these people in your hearts. Truly, I’m speechless.

I have seen posts on tumblr crowing about how Suicide Squad is a testament to diversity in casting, while Doctor Strange is the most white-washed in Marvel history???

As a Muslim, and an Asian, I feel like I should challenge this notion. I feel like for Suicide Squad to be the standard in diversity, Karen Fukuhara should have been Captain Boomerang, instead of yet another sword wielding martial arts expert; Will Smith should have been Harley Quinn, instead of yet another smart mouth, bad ass, tough guy, weapons expert; and Margot Robbie should have been Deadshot, because we want to be in awe of how deadly she is with that custom AR-15, instead of how she looks in short shorts.

As for Doctor Strange being the most white-washed in Marvel history, Chiwetel Ejiofor is Baron Mordo, Benedict Wong is not playing a man servant, and Tilda Swinton is the Ancient One that nobody expected, because Marvel and long-time comic readers understand that the Ancient One is a title that is earned, and to earn this title one doesn’t have to be an old Asian man spewing words of wisdom. I think we’ve seen enough of that nonsense.

I think diversity should mean more than just casting people of color in movies and TV shows to play stereotypical roles, like the martial arts expert or perky comic relief, or the evil terrorist, or the tough talking gangster. I think it’s demeaning to these beautiful, talented actors, and the audience, that they’re not allowed the space and direction to do more, or show more.

So, today, Marvel published issues of comics revealing that in fact the Nazis were always supposed to win World War 2, and the Allies invented the Cosmic Cube to rewrite history to prevent that from happening. 

That was released today. April 19th.

The anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest Jewish revolt during World War 2, the first urban uprising in Nazi-occupied Europe, begun when the Nazis decided to completely wipe out the Warsaw Jews on Passover eve. Instead, the Jews held out for nearly a month, with whatever they could fight with. They’re honored to this day. 

And Marvel published their Nazi-stanning dumpster fire of a retcon today. 

Please reblog if you enjoy Marvel and you're a woman

I have been having an argument with a friend and he says that Marvel is for guys, please help me prove to him that there are lots of women who like Marvel!

Am I seeing things or they have... claws???

I just realised where Kylo got his name from:

Ky = sKYwalker

Lo = soLO

Ren = literally just his birth name with an R

which means that when he was choosing his super scary Dark Lord name, he just mashed up the surnames of the most positive figures in his life. poor sod can’t even evil right
