This is your daily reminder that Wanda and Pietro Maximoff are Romani Jews and the children of Holocaust survivors, and that Whedon white-washed them and had them be volunteers with Hydra, a neo-Nazi organization.
Not only Hydra volunteers: volunteers to have Hydra perform medical experiments on them to give them superpowers (powers they were simply born with in the comics). If you know anything about the history of Nazi medical experiments you should realize how deeply offensive this is.
Oh fuck this. Fuck this. Growing up I was so happy they were Roma. They were all I HAD. I loved them. And most people won’t care about this. But how likely is it this will just stick. Because the movies are big moneymakers. And they’ve retconned it before so why the fuck not forever now.
We have so little. So. So little.
