I was replying to the OP, and the tone of her/his secret. So, to be blunt, it's beside the point whether or not it bothers you.

When did I compare the fanbases? All I said about that was if the OP were to answer with something like "that doesn't count; the movies had to be out" it wouldn't really work since there'd already been a movie about the character made.

I fail to see what's "gross" about me pointing out that the character has never been hugely popular -- regardless of his skin color. And that whole "lalala" thing... I just find it so damn trite (as I do the whole anonymous schtick, for that matter).

Uh, how do you know that anon isn't the OP?

It's generally expected that when OP replies in their own thread, they will be anon but say "OP here."

Since they did not, we assume otherwise.

Also, MORE FUCKKING HOFF.

"The OP is not wrong to point out that there is a racial bias going on here, and your "Oh lalala, this wouldn't be so bad the other way around and Fury has always been an less popular character so no harm no foul!" is, frankly, pretty gross."

That's how I know Anon =/= OP.

The things you say in public do not exist in a void. You are taking part in a public discussion on a public forum. You don't have to be the OP of a secret to point out a shitty attitude when you see it and saying "Well, I was talking to the OP, for fuck you!" is a nice way of saying you don't need to be held accountable to the things you say in public.

You must be new here if you don't know that when you comment to a secret you are not often commenting to engage with the actual maker of the secret, but putting yourself out there and open general conversation, criticism and general attack from others.

By putting two things side by side (in this case, SLJ and the Hoff as separate actors of the same named character) and the responses fans have do or don't have you are drawing a comparison. Even if you didn't say "Let's compare", it's what you're doing.

What is "gross" about your point here is the assumption that flipping things around (i.e., "what if Fury had been black in comics canon and made white for the movie--you wouldn't care!") is okay and there's nothing troubling about that assumption.

But hey, it's pretty obvious you give all of no fucks at all to poor behaviour, so what do you care who you offend, right? Only OP's feelings matter. jfc.
