i still don't agree with the "Child Soldier" moniker (and you know i love you dearly:)
I believe that Tigra said (and i am not sure as it has been a while since that book) they were sending them to where there were no enemy combatants. or where there were few. Also Tigra WAS with them during search and rescue, as were other heroes (Tigra witnessed Metal accidentally killing the pilot) and falcon came in (to tell them all captain america was dead) and then left, so they were not "on there own" they had adults around them trying to provide as much cover as they could.
they were attacked by the Hammer Twins after they were placed "in a safe place" THEN Tigra left with Pym to Dubai. they thought the kids were safe.
so yeah...
my main isuse with Tigra is here, now that there was a Lul in the violence, she should have paid more attention to the fact that they have been through hell, and they WILL acknowledge that once things calm down.
(do you still love me even though we sorta disagree here:)
oh yeah i think the adults made mistakes, they should have at least left one sentient adult there to guard them story wise you want the kids on their own, all you have to do is knock the adult out... they should know better than to count on Jocasta (i love her but honey, your a robot... you have an off switch...)
the adult are not blameless, i still think child soldiers is harsh, i also think that while justified, Veil is being overly harsh (though as i said she is not necessarily wrong)
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
