    The only problem I have with this is that it’s fiction.

    If even Superman is being targeted, I don’t even want to know what Captain America is up to these days. Is he already the poster boy for ICE?

    I’m asking because this isn’t fiction.

        I mean, dirty cops love the Punisher, even though he’s canonically killed quite a few of them.

          Hes canonically also said he hates cops that worship him because they are supposed to be the vanguard of law and order, not murderers. I think he then went on to kill those cops, to really just nail the whole point home.

          Surprise surprise, it didn’t take.

            conservatives like the co-opt one part of something they like discard another, much like with WOKE, punisher, and even christian-themed shows like supernatural.

            He has outlined this explicitly multiple times in every appearance he’s ever made in anything. It takes a dangerously fucking stupid individual to use him as a symbol for police or justice. The creator of The Punisher has even outlined this in real life too many times to mention.

              At this point, my best guess is these guys just don’t actually read any Punisher material.

                They don’t. And to top it off they probably make fun of people who do read comics. Like when republicans were up in arms about Jon Kent being bi screaming “THEY MADE SUPERMAN GAY!” Mother fuckers, you don’t even know who the fuck Jon Kent is.

        Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest, because the MAGA cultists somehow still see themselves as patriots.

        Irony just doesn’t seem to be their thing, otherwise they probably wouldn’t have voted for the same rapist twice.

      I take it you never saw CA: The Winter Soldier. There’s this whole bit about Steve and Nat getting hunted because they didn’t bow to the fascists.

        I think it’s very interesting that CA: Winter Soldier was about the secret Nazis that have taken over the military and plan to kill everyone with their drones and facial recognition while CA: Brave New World (Order) is about how slavery is okay when the President General does it and loves his daughter or something

          What? Ross ended up in jail, and was never portrayed as the good guy…

      what Captain America is up to these days. Is he already the poster boy for ICE?

      Well, yeah, he basically was, for a while.
