      On the other hand, as you said this is fundamentally an appeal to the brutish, nastiest, most hateful parts of ourselves, and the fact that the marginalized want to be bullies too does not make it any less foul. See my regular rants about how monster hunters equal pogrom to me.https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1313031187254763520 …

      It's so hard not to feel like the image of punching a wizard in the face is symbolic of this idea of ordinary people using the kinds of power we can understand, however ugly and nasty and uncouth, against the powers we can't -- finance and politics and tech and other spellcraft

      You'd probably enjoy* how Hunter: the Reckoning leaned into what was most "problematic" and "controversial" about it and said the most powerful network of Hunters were Muslims from the Middle East *not enjoy

      I actually was rereading those books and they're edgier than I remember Like the guy who is narrating Hunter: Holy War says *he personally* disapproves of Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah and so on in the strongest possible terms, but there's Imbued among all those groups

      Of fucking course there was. That's our delightful WoD. I'm going to say that that's also SUPER FUCKING LOADED given the popularity of Actual Fucking Blood Libel in that region.

      I have really mixed feelings about Holy War because it is a very sensationalized view of the Middle East and also one that glosses over a lot of problematic shit But it is an #ownvoices creation, it's two Middle Eastern Arab Muslims writing about their own culture

      Like "Hey if you're gonna do a badass wartorn-country guerrilla warfare story about the Middle East, let's do so from a sympathetic and informed perspective" And it took a LOT of stones to publish a book where the heroes are armed militant Arabs in 2002

      Anyway one of the things that causes "friction" when the Muslim Hunters open up relations with the Western Hunters on http://hunter-net.org  is respected hunter-net poster Hope123, a devout Jew, finding out they're all anti-Zionist as a basic assumption

      The narrator of Holy War, Tarjiman220, condemns terrorism against civilians and any bloodshed among ordinary humans, but takes it for granted that Israel's existence is an injustice that must eventually end Realistically, anyone from his demographic would

          To the credit to the writers of Holy War, Hope123 gets to talk back, as someone who is both Jewish and Zionist, for her own whole long sidebar defending her position But yeah, it's A Thing

          Again, blood libel is super common in the MENA, Hunters' primary foes are often vampires who are defined by being a tainted mastermind conspiracy of metaphorically sexual immoral monsters. Do the math.

          Yeah like I said not surprised by this at all, it was kind of the dominant cultural push for a good chunk of my life and seeded everywhere. But again. *baggage*
