Re: Classism in fandom

[nyxelestia]

Being in the Avengers fandom, most of the depictions of Tony Stark as an extremely wealthy man make me roll my eyes.

Yes, he made Pepper CEO, so he's not dealing with a lot of the underlying little details of running a business that a CEO or owner normally would...but unless he just let company stock sit there in his portfolio and pull in money from the dividends, then he's definitely doing something for the company.

In fandom at large, this does actually get handled decently, mostly in either describing him as spending a lot of time on inventions for company off-screen and/or describing how Pepper takes care of the finnicky business decision issues for him in an unofficial capacity as well as the official one because he just trusts her that much.

But then, most of the fics that portray Tony as just making money without doing much are the fics where the Avengers never seem to do anything but lounge around the Avengers tower/mansion the majority of the time and occasionally go out and fight crime, so usually my irritation isn't localized to just Tony. This didn't even happen in the comics, and the movies have definitely taken several steps away from this perception of them, so it irritates the hell out of me when I see it in fic. -_-
