In fairness both of those things are true, we just don't get to hear about the Brown Derby as often for some reason

This on its own shows a lack of understanding on the author’s part

In the even there was truly”nothing” before the big can’t, not just “nothing” as in empty space, “nothing” as in no space to be empty, there would be no laws of physics to violate!

No it musn't!! Just because we don't know something doesn't mean we can't know, and even if we can't know that doesn't mean there's nothing to know!

Wasn’t Marc specter a mercenary long before he encounter konshu? Pretty sure he would have killed people,

I’m also not sure how I feel about the language used to describe a man with a diagnosed mental illness, I don’t know it seems in bad taste

I found this dramatizaion of an apparent moment where Mockingbird killed someone trying to rape her, and the morality of that was being discussed among the other members:

Among many questions...

1) What exactly happened with Mockingbird here? Like was it self-defense?

2) How did Moon Knight, a Deadpool level crazy, get on the team?

3) If there is a no kill rule, shouldn't that be part of whatever orientation process the Avengers have?

4) How well was such a rule enforced over the years since you also had Wolverine as a member? Not to mention it must be hard considering how violent the fights can get...

(Major content warning: discussion of sexual assault.)

On an early West Coast Avengers mission, the team were sent to the Old West, and teamed up with several gunfighters of the era: the Two-Gun Kid, the Rawhide Kid, and most critically for this question: the Phantom Rider. Also known as the Ghost Rider and the Night Rider, Lincoln Slade was an Old West vigilante who wore an all-white costume and rode a white steed, giving an overall ghostly appearance. Slade, while a good man, was slowly being driven mad, and came to believe that Mockingbird was the reincarnation of a goddess. Infatuated, he started to make advances on her against her will, kidnapping her and isolating her from the rest of the team as they traveled further into the past to find a way home via Kang's time sphinx. Slade drugged Morse, causing her to forget herself and fall in love with him, and he had sex with her while she was under the influence. The Two-Gun Kid jogged her memory, and she was understandably aghast at the things she did while under Slade's influence. When she confronted him atop a mountain peak, she let him fall to his death. After she returned to the present, this revelation led to a major confrontation with team leader (and her husband) Hawkeye and their eventual divorce, calling into question the morality of strict no-kill rules in the superhero set.

2. Okay, long answer for the first one, so shorter answers for these three. That's the price you pay for sending four questions in a single ask.

Simply put, Mr. Knight was far more mentally stable in the early parts of his career than he's said to be nowadays. Yes, the meme edits of him going "where's my money Dracula" and "random BS, go!" are funny, but early on, he was a fairly well-adjusted and stable superhero.

3. There isn't really a hard-and-fast no-kill rule, more of a guideline that some heroes hold to more tightly than others. If you believe that Thor, a thousands-of-years-old warrior god, hasn't killed anybody, I have a bridge to sell you. In this particular instance, Hawkeye had a very strict no-kill rule and was imposing his morality onto the rest of the team. (Also, funny that you think the Avengers have any sort of mandatory employee orientation for team members.)

But it's come up in other situations, too: the team was famously divided on whether to execute the Kree Supreme Intelligence for war crimes in the Kree-Shi'ar War, and Carol Danvers (Warbird at the time) submitted herself to a court-martial for killing the Master of the World during the Kang War.

4. Again, it's less of a rule and more a guideline, and one that I suspect wasn't enforced particularly strictly with Wolverine.

This is what's gonna happen if ICE doesn't stop harassing our tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Once again, the "atheist-to-alt-right" pipeline fails to materialize, whereas the "literally any other religious group except black Protestants-to-alt-right" pipelines seem to be doing fine

Gender differences in religion in the US

Very interesting! As someone who studies the religiously unaffiliated, the idea that the gender gap among Nones is closing (women are becoming less religious) is huge!

I'm tired of waiting for this man to croak. We need to start encouraging him to kill himself.

If you as a leftist can understand that

the Trump administration is using the concept of violence against women to oppress transgender people and strip back civil rights

AND violence against women is a real societal issue that needs to be taken seriously, especially when women's safety and autonomy is directly attacked by the same right wing politicians claiming to care about it to further their agenda

Then you can also understand that

the Trump administration is using the concept of antisemitism to perpetuate oppress activists and strip back freedom of speech

AND antisemitism is a real societal issue that needs to be taken seriously, especially when Jewish safety is directly attacked by the same right wing politicians claiming to care about it to further their agenda

Right? ...Right??

New York really voted for the guy who called the Warsaw Uprising an “intifada,” huh? We care about minorities unless they’re Jews I guess? Between that and the “Jewish space laser” comment that didn’t immediately get that Neanderthal fired, it really is perfectly fine to just hate on us, isn’t it?

Can’t say I’m surprised, just repeatedly disappointed.
