#bonus points for the clowns who think that if their fash faves should have been tried for war crimes ''then scar should too'' 💩

Genocide? What's that? Are you a war criminal when you kill your genociders? War crimes is just a synonym for crimes, right? Yeah! Totally! Words don't mean anything besides whatever vibes you catch from social media posts!

In fact I think that counts as religious extremism too! Because you're not a multifaceted person when you're religious, melanated, and hate the forces that tried to wipe you and your people off the planet! Hell, you're not even a person if you're all of the above AND violent!

(Please ignore who and what the violence is aimed at, and the myriad why's that have fuck-all to do with the religion itself.)

Sure, Scar never attacked or brutalized alchemists before the genocide. (He was religious then.) Sure, he literally had a beloved brother who was an avid alchemist whomst he never once attacked or killed. (He was still religious then too.) And suuuuuure, Scar only ever targetted military alchemists, (while religious). And fine, he was disgusted by the practice of creating chimeras because of the horrors wrought on the beings used to form the chimera, and he knows that the state creates these creatures to literally exploit them AND maintain its military force. BUT he also said that these alchemic atrocities are against Ishbala/Ishvala, so obviously he's just an evil, savage, reactionary evangelist for his backwards anti-science culture!

/your average fma enjoyer, who loves fma for being "anti-racist/anti-imperialist" while espousing the most bald-faced racist opinions, and pro-Western imperialist propaganda to boot

Seen a lot of bad takes and misinterpretations of Scar as a character across all major versions of the FMA series, and none betrays a greater failure in grasping his character, his narrative, and the journey he goes through than describing him as a "murderous religious fanatic."

Congratulations! You completely failed to grasp the most rudimentary beats of this character and instead went with a racist caricature instead! Flush your head into a toilet!
