The Decepticons were slaves storyline should be retired.

Look, it doesn’t matter how many atrocities Megatron committed... as long as he and his followers are ex-slaves it’s uncomfortable to paint them as irredeemable villains.

The argument is always “well he’s killed thousands of the slave owners since freeing everyone.”

Hey, @Hasbro, can we get a commitment from you to have future Transformers stories not include this problematic element? Slavery is unequivocally evil. You cannot tell new or old fans that Decepticons are villains and make them freed slaves at the same time. #BlackLivesMatter

The thing is Thanos is a genocidal fascist without a sympathetic background because nobody wants to or should sympathize with genocidal fascists. This is the root of the problem with Megatron and the Decepticons. They want us to sympathize with Giant Space Robot Hitler. https://twitter.com/creeplightning/status/1294014934934851588

The real tyrants were the slaves we freed along the way... apparently. https://twitter.com/itsnerdstuff/status/1294021958552752131

Weird that slavery exists at all in my perfect world.

Yes. Is that so hard? Why do you need to sympathize with genocide? https://twitter.com/nicknullet/status/1294028040092213249

Sorry if I misrepresented your terrible both sides argument about slavery. I’ll do better next time and just ignore you. https://twitter.com/itsnerdstuff/status/1294047671712460800
