The argument that comics canon is inherently better than any fanon/headcanon and should be followed always is so funny when combined with the fact that every single person who reads canon has at least one writer/editor they want to launch into the sun for what they did to the characters they were in charge of.
#The absolutism is just wild to me#Sometimes canon blows chunks and should be retconned away and not spoken about again#Sometimes fanon/headcanon makes me want to chew glass with how hard it misses what I think is the point#Both things can be true#It's Canon Casserole you pick out the stuff you like and throw it all together and leave the rest in the trash#And which bits I want to keep is gonna change based on Rule of Funny/Cool/Drama/whatever it's for#It's the omniverse now baby I am beholden to no one. I commit to no one canon.#comics talk

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Scholars and historical institutions from around the world are coming to the defense of a Polish researcher who is under fire from her country’s authorities after claiming that Poles could have done more to help Jews during the Holocaust.
Barbara Engelking said in a TV interview last week that Polish Jews felt disappointed in Poles during World War II, referring to what she described as “widespread blackmailing” of Jews by Poles during the Nazi German occupation.
Since then the historian and the independent TV broadcaster have been threatened with consequences by government institutions — turning the matter into a campaign issue ahead of elections scheduled for this fall.
Poland’s conservative government and pro-government media have described the remarks by Engelking, who is Polish, as an attack on the nation. They accuse her of distorting the historical record and not giving due credit to the Poles who risked — and sometimes lost — their lives to help Jews.
It is the latest eruption of an emotional debate that has been going on for years in Poland over Polish-Jewish relations, particularly the behavior of Poles toward their Jewish neighbors during the war — when Germans committed brutal crimes against Poles, whom they considered subhuman, and against the Jews, a population they sought to exterminate in its entirety.
Poles reacted in various ways to the German treatment of the Jews. Some helped the Jews, an act punishable with execution by the occupation forces. Others denounced or blackmailed them, motivated by antisemitic hatred or for personal gain. Many Poles lived in fear and sought to survive the war without getting involved either way.
Even Polish nationalists do not deny that some Poles preyed on their Jewish compatriots, but they say a relatively recent focus in scholarship on that aspect of the war distorts a larger history of heroism by Poles who resisted the Germans. They argue it risks blaming Polish victims for German crimes.
Engelking spoke on the 80th anniversary of the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto. She was being interviewed by private broadcaster TVN about an exhibition she helped create on the fate of civilians in the ghetto, “Around Us A Sea of Fire,” which opened last week.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki reacted to the interview with a long social media post describing Engelking's comments as “scandalous opinions" and part of an “anti-Polish narrative.”
Morawiecki referred to the more than 7,000 Poles recognized by Israel's Holocaust institute Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations. A Polish institute is trying to document cases that have so far not been recorded.
“We know that there could be tens, if not hundreds of thousands, of such cases,” Morawiecki said.
This week Education Minister Przemysław Czarnek threatened the funding of the institution where Engelking works, the Polish Center for Holocaust Research, which is part of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
“I will not finance an institute that maintains the kind of people who just insult Poles,” Czarnek said.
He said that Poles "were the greatest allies of the Jews, and if it had not been for the Poles, many Jews would have died, many more than were killed in the Holocaust.”
According to Yad Vashem, some 3.3 million Jews lived in Poland on the eve of the Sept. 1, 1939 German invasion, and only 380,000 survived the war.
Some 3 million other Polish citizens who were not Jewish were also killed during the war.
Poland's state broadcasting authority has also opened an investigation into TVN, which is owned by the U.S. company Warner Bros. Discovery. The broadcaster faced government criticism recently for a report claiming that Saint John Paul II had covered up cases of clerical abuse in his native Poland before becoming pope.
Government critics see an attempt to exploit the issue to win votes ahead of the election — as the ruling party risks losing votes to a far-right party, Confederation, which has been surging in popularity.
Liberal media and commentators warn that media and academic freedoms are being threatened.
Yad Vashem chairman Dani Dayan said on Twitter this week that he called Engelking to show support for "freedom of expression and of academic research, in the face of blatant and menacing attacks.”
By Friday more than 600 scholars of the Holocaust and related subjects in Poland and abroad had signed a statement expressing opposition to the "political attack” on Engelking.
They said they regard “such censorious tendencies ... as extremely dangerous and unacceptable," adding: “We object to the idea of making a subject that calls for meticulous and nuanced research — as carried out by Professor Engelking — part of an election campaign.”
The POLIN Museum of the History of the Polish Jews, where the exhibition about civilians in the Warsaw ghetto is being shown, also defended Engelking in a statement Wednesday.
The museum argued that the feelings of disappointment expressed by Jews during the war are a “fact," and that “they appear in almost every account of those who survived the Holocaust, as well as those who managed to leave a record of their fate, but did not survive.”
“The essence of scientific research is a dispute, but a brutal personal attack on a scientist and an outstanding authority in her field cannot be called a dispute,” it said.
Engelking more than a decade ago again angered some Poles by seeming to downplay Polish wartime suffering, saying death for Poles then “was simply a biological, natural matter ... and for Jews it was a tragedy, it was a dramatic experience, it was metaphysics.”

You can criticize the church on a lot of grounds but mocking us for being "crazy" or weird just is not gonna work. First off, every religion is going to appear foreign to someone who has no experience with it, so jot that down. Mormonism isnt especially weird just bc YOU happen to think it is. Secondly, I LOVE our uniqueness! I love our "weird" doctrine! Thsts what makes Mormonism itself, which is literally why I'm here.
#i see comments abt mormonism on my dash sometimes by people who arent mormon#theyre always dismissive or rude or they insinuate were a cult#i wish it didnt hurt my feelings the way it does but it does#frankly if youre not or have never been mormon i dont want to hear it from you. keep it to yourself.#im just not up for hearing condemnations of the Church by people who have never even been here#have i suffered? most certainly. but mormonism has also brought me some of the most beautiful#things in my life and its made me who i am#both things can be true
