5. It’s Really Not “Anti-Semitic”. At All.

I'm Jewish. I'm not religious, I'm not practicing, but I am Jewish by birth. Statistically, you probably aren't. So when non-Jewish people tell me I should find this story anti-Semitic, it actually offends me.

It offends me mostly because it's stupid, but it also offends me because there is still a degree of actual anti-Semitism in the world, and pal, this ain't it. People using Simon and Kirby's Judaism to say why this twist is somehow "wrong" makes me OBSCENELY angry.

First off, as we discussed, HYDRA AREN'T NAZIS. Also, as we discussed, you should shut up about Simon and Kirby themselves. And thirdly, ALL OF THIS IS FICTIONAL. So, you are saying that, if I hear you correctly, two men who you didn't know, and who are no longer alive, are being disrespected because a fictional character they created was maybe possibly, but probably not, revealed to be a member of a fictional organization you keep confusing with a VERY DIFFERENT real organization that was actually legitimately a real threat.

Hey, you know what you could be doing with all that outrage? Go after neo-nazi groups, and the KKK, and ACTUAL HATE GROUPS WHO ACTUALLY LIKED THE NAZIS. Go be this vitriolic to them because they actually are disrespecting the memories of every Jewish person currently or no previously alive, especially those like Simon and Kirby, who enlisted during WWII.
