the hole

Well, because we’re living in a time where there are a lot of problems with how people are treated based on  a lot of things–race, gender, sexual identity, and others. There are real problems out there that are serious. And those things hurt people, and when people are hurt, it changes how they react to things. If you pat me on the arm, I will probably not get upset at you…but if you pat me right where I have a bruise, there is a chance I would yell about it.

Point is, the reason people are upset is that there is a lot to get upset about. I don’t agree that this is one of those reasons…but there are reasons out there.

This was even covered on Agents of Shield when Skye confronts Ward:

Skye: All this time, everything we’ve been through why? How could you?

Grant Ward: I was on a mission. It wasn’t personal.

Skye: “It was - ” you did not just say that. “It wasn’t personal”?

Grant Ward: Skye, listen to me…

Skye: God, you might actually believe that.That - that is the twisted logic that they teach you when you sign up to be a *Nazi*.

Grant Ward: Stop. Wait. I’m not a Nazi.

Skye: Yes, you are. That is exactly what you are. It’s in the SHIELD handbook, chapter one. The Red Skull, founder of Hydra, was a big, fat, freaking Nazi.

Grant Ward: That has nothing to do with today.

Skye: You know, you always had that Hitler Youth look to you. So it’s really not that surprising.

Grant Ward: It’s not like that. I’m a spy. I had a job.
