I swear, I’ve read every single X-Men comic (up to maybe 03 or so, but back to the first issue, and I’m catching up to present) and seen all the movies. I’m a goddamn PhD in Magneto Studies.
Magneto is Jewish. It matters to him. To paraphrase biologists: nothing about magneto makes sense except in light of his Judaism. He is not the most observant, but he cares. It matters.
No one who erases this should claim to understand the character. It is as much a part of him as controlling metal is. More so even, because he’s lost his powers but never has he lost his Jewish sensibilities.
So, it’s now 5776. Never forget that magneto is Jewish. In general, never forget. It’s a phrase dear to his heart.

been seeing ppl erasing Erik’s jewishness lately
[Image: A digital art piece of Erik Lehnsherr and Charles Xavier, showing them both in white coats standing next to each other, they are blushing and Erik has one hand on the back of his head and the other is holding up his necklace which is a Star of David. Charles is pointing towards the necklace and they are both smiling.]
This is really really important but like
you’re literally erasing Charles being disabled in this picture I’m……
I’m sorry it came off this way, and sorry about any offense taken. But that isn’t the case!
This picture is supposed to be from when Charles and Erik were young and met in the Holy Land, which is, when Charles wasn’t disabled yet(that’s why they wear those lab coats- it’s from the animated series version of them as youngsters! My fail for not drawing them enough young-looking). Erasing disability is disgusting, and thank you for calling me out if I should ever do it, but that is not the case here!
