I have, however, for the first time encountered Tony Stark Stans in the wild. 

(Don’t get me wrong. I love Tony. I love him for the absurd and often obnoxious human disaster and deeply good person he is. It’s the uncritical stanning that I had never encountered before. Most people I run into spend all their time making him out to be The Worst Ever.) 

(I do not bother arguing with people who want to make him out The Worst because I have only so many minutes in my day, but I should note that I firmly feel they are wrong. And actually am deeply fond of Tony.) (But he’s such a fucking mess. I heart him.) 

I remain convinced that a lot of people who don’t like Tony have never read him properly written.  i cannot TELL you how many fics i read where i just wind up yelling “NO THAT’S NOT HOW HE THINKS.”  and it’s not even like the resultant actions are all that far off?  but the motivations are WRONG.  WHY do only you and Betty Ross properly appreciate this.
