Yeah, canon-Stark is basically (usually) a Goldwater Republican and canon-Steve is an FDR-Democrat.

That said, I wouldn't classify Tony Stark as particularly conservative, except perhaps when it comes to emotional maturity, but I've pretty much given up on people who aren't wonks remembering that "conservative" and "Republican" aren't automatically interchangeable.

I can totally understand why Avengers would have pissed you off, although I find it easy enough to handwave due to Steve being under the influence of Loki's Glowy Stick of Dickishness and Tony's buttons being painfully obvious and easy to push. Of course, I also thought that they were both assholes for much of that movie, so it annoys me when Steve alone is cast as a villain for it.

Maybe not conservative. But I still think his political views tend to be REALLY glossed over and mischaracterized by fandom.

The Avengers was just a horrible introduction to the MCU. I would have become a fan so much sooner if I'd started with something else.

I just wish fandom wasn't SO VERY Tony-centric. I understand Tony has issues and I think there's great fics dealing with it. But so much of fanfic is centered around him and, especially when it's Stony fanfic, I just can't help but get annoyed at how Steve is (in my opinion) shorted to bolster Tony.

Since I feel like that's what the Avengers film did in the first place.

Man. I have found my people. It is so hard to find Steve-centric pairing fics. Like, even though I adore Bucky/Steve (and I know Bucky has gone through some shit), I'd still like to see some tiny part of your Stucky fic that addresses the fact Steve is also going through some shit.
