#tony stark fans getting all warm and fuzzy about authoritarianism is a horrific thing to behold

[legalandnotease]

"Tony Stark is a hero because he sacrifices his freedom for the greater good?" What is this insane headcanon?

Tony Stark is the only person who leaves Civil War a free man and unscatched *despite* having broken the Accords- twice- before the end of the movie.

He is the one person who *does not* sacrifice his freedom and hypocritically gets away with not only breaking the very laws he claimed to be upholding for selfish reasons- but also getting away with murder.

Also under the terms of the Accords he should have handed over all his suits to the government. He never did that.

...and that's without even considering the horrific impact the Accords had on people lower down the pecking order. Hank Pym and his daugher were being hounded by the government to give up their suits as because of the Accords. Which they were never consulted about and never signed for that precise reason.

In Agents of SHIELD, Inhumans are hunted down and killed by Neo-Nazis because of the Accords.

The Accords caused more death pain and destruction then anything else.

I challenge Tony fans to point to even one life that was saved because of them.

Its no wonder they were canoncially repealed within 10 years of being passed.

Tony Stark literally sold out mllions of people to an authoritarian government for the sake of his own convenience, and caused God knows how many deaths in the process.

Then his fans have the audacity to justify his actions with the usual HYDRA rhetoric about "safety and security". Its no wonder they idolize the MCU Elon Musk

And before they bring up Charlie Spencer isn't it *interesting* that an American legal adult was the person who was used to guilt trip Tony?

What about the thousands of Sokovian women and children who died? This is meant to be able stopping innocents dying after all. So.... those innocents don't count? Only the American one?

Tony Stark in CA:CW + the values of Captain America
