Campaign where for the length of the NFL season, your players are a fantasy world football team sponsored by the Adventurers' Guild going from place to place and playing against a new team sponsored by some other faction or institution every week, with the competition slowly rising in skill and power up to the final opposition: a single enormous, highly magical, and entirely superb owl.

­I feel if I knew anything about what the NFL was this would make sense to me

Magneto, aka Max Eisenhardt aka Erik Lehnsher, from Marvel comics is a Zionist, and canonically lived in Israel!

"these so called anti-zionists see Zionism as such a farfetched uber-evil that even an actual murderous villain is too good and kind to be a Zionist. oh shit"

Yup. Remember that they actively compare Zionism to Naziism--you know, the ideology that got six million Jews murdered IRL, and in the comics, was what make Erik such a hardliner against assimilation and integration.

In essence, Magneto is the representative of people like Malcom X and Meir Kahane--the extremist fringe who, at their core, are willing to sacrifice people outside of their group for the sake of their own group.

But in the minds of the "antizionist", they're not against a specific ideology that can be argued with, criticized, or disagreed with on its own merits, but something that's essentially Pure Evil.

Proposal for new fandom etiquette:

If you read a fic because it was linked/recced somewhere, you leave a comment saying "came from XXX" and that comment doesn't need to include anything else.

Because when all of a sudden there's a lot of activity on one particular fic I WANNA KNOW WHY!!!!!

Dyson Sphere Program, hell yes!

The only way to log out is to beat the game. And if you die in the game you die for real.
