It used to support it though. I could tell it to remind me of something when I got home or something like that, and it'd pop up the reminder when the GPS coordinates matched up.
No idea if they removed that functionality (you never know with Google), or if Assistant is just being shitty here. Either way, something changed somewhere along the line.
I mean, even those are political at times. There's a famous segment from an old episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood where Mr. Rogers washed the feet of his black mailman. That was intended as a pro-civil rights message; Fred Rogers wanted to communicate to the kids watching that nobody is superior to anybody else and we should all serve each other.
Politics is a natural part of art, because art is about communicating our perspectives and politics are born from perspectives. Asking art to not be political is asking art to not communicate, which is basically asking art to not be art.
I think that's it really. These people didn't understand the metaphors at play as children, and lack the capacity to reflect on what they enjoyed as children and realize that they grew up to be the villains.
And, of course, there are plenty of bad faith actors who never watched or read X-Men in the first place and/or don't care about the messages it tries to convey, and just want something to be outraged about for attention.
He wasn't the son of Holocaust survivors, he was a Holocaust survivor himself. The comics back in the 60s even made him be a late bloomer so his magnetic powers could manifest in his captivity; most mutants get their powers during puberty, but his didn't show up until his 30s. The 2000s movies, of course, just had his powers manifest at the normal time, since they could manage that.
I'm sure the MCU version will have to adjust that somewhat, since the timelines no longer quite match (unless they make him immortal or something).
I saw that was a thing now, that Mystique and Destiny are now canonically Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler, respectively. That's the kind of awesome weird shit that makes me want to get back into comics.
I think you misunderstand... God Loves, Man Kills is the title of an X-Men story from the 80s which centers on the X-Men fighting against a church that preaches anti-mutant bigotry.
I think they're talking about the anti-"woke" chuds being antisemitic in this context. Which, they are; a lot of these fuckers believe trash like the Great Replacement Theory and even manage to tie in queerphobia into it (LGBTQ+ acceptance is a Jew plot to stop white people from breeding, don't you know).
Yeah, of course, which is why this is all so baffling. Or would be, if anyone still expected the Culture Warriors™ to have a single clue what they're talking about.
Also, in the comics, Mystique has been in a lesbian relationship with Destiny since the 80s, and Chris Claremont even planned at one point to have it revealed that Mystique had shapeshifted into a man and fathered Nightcrawler, with Destiny being his mom. That got nixed by the higher ups, but IIRC, the comics actually went back to that idea and made it canon recently.

Indeed they are
