Netflix/Marvel say "screw you" to alt-right co-opters of the Punisher symbol as the season 2 villain is an alt-right fundamentalist.

[Amused]

In a huge "fuck you" to the racist and bigoted alt-right and white nationalists who have co-opted The Punisher's symbol for their own evil and hateful means, Marvel and Netflix make the main villain of Season 2 an alt-right ultra right wing religious fanatic.
Making it clear that The Punisher and his symbol stands AGAINST the evil of the alt-right, racism, bigotry and hate.

Ah good, politicize it.

Ah good, politicize it.

Yeah, too late. The alt-righters have long ago co-opted the Punisher symbol for their own means.

But hey, keep up the alt-right playbook of accusing your opposition of that which you are doing.

Who is my opposition and I haven’t politicized any superheroes. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Defenders though.

I'm sure this is very bad/good news for the seven people on earth who knew what the punishers symbol was, and that actually give a shit.

It's not bad news unless you are a guy who likes the Punisher to be a neonazi type, and there would be more than seven Deplorable who would love it. More than seven would be for kicking those people in the ass.

The really bad news isn't a character, but that today marks a fundamental shift against Trump. The one's like the Punisher will face off against this season won't like that at all.

And once again, in an effort to cure your cognitive dissonance you assume something from a position of complete ignorance that fits your world view rather than anything factual.

It's not cute to play stupid when you are stupid.

 

[Victorian Gray]

Ah good, politicize it.

That's directed at the nazis who did just that, right?

 

[Greenman]

As a marketing ploy it's pretty good, as a political statement

No, it's just that I don't care.
It's a tempest in a teapot, and a meaningless gesture almost certainly designed to create hype for netflix. If you think this is a blow that will smite the evil (insert list of deplorable's here) you're insane. It won't change anything, it won't improve anything, it won't help anything. It's just churn, motion to give the impression that something is moving forward. A gesture as empty as a hookers embrace.

Everything is political, whether one pretends otherwise or not. Politics is the nightmare from which we cannot awake.

As soon as you have more than two people you have politics. Maybe even two people is sufficient.

In utterly unexpected news, 'Rage Against The Machine' is also discovered as having a political bearing:

Ah good, politicize it.

You realize the alt-right politicized it, right? Marvel is just responding so their creativity isn't used for a symbol of hate.

Or am I giving you too much credit?

I'm beginning to think he's a masochist. Keeps setting up stupid shit, just to get knocked down.

Oof, shit taste on top of everything else.

It's like Trump crying about fake news.

You'd have to spent the last 30 years living in a black hole to not know that RATM was a political band.

 

[zinfamous]

Ah good, politicize it.

shouldn't you be complaining to your alt-right brethren that did exactly that?

Ah good, politicize it.

No one is fooled by your little shit.

"bluntly telling any “alt-right” fans of his work that they can promptly go fuck themselves." Well said Jon Bernthal. I could have never even imagined, that in the real world, the Punisher skull would some day be adopted by neo nazi douche bags.

All that is the alt right is based on the belief that it's good when they do it but bad when others do it.

LOL. I have to wonder if there are some lefties out there trolling all the right leaning communities to bring out the idiots.

Not necessarily. "What's Trump done that's racist?"

He knows exactly what he's doing.
