I liked Dark Avengers a lot (and most of the Dark Reign stuff in general, for that matter), but Daken was really rapey.
I like when the Jewish Dad goes on racist rants like my old Jewish boss would do against blacks and Asians. He’d switch to Yiddish so they would know, but you could still tell.
I read both books twice and I wasnt really sure what to make of them. The furry animal thing is an obvious allegory, I think you're supposed to understand it as a euphemism. It's easier to depict a pile of dead rats than it is to depict a pile of dead people. It's a little bit to evade censorship. If you did a comic book like this with human characters i think it would be far too dire.
I get the allegory, but I don’t care for the art style. It’s one of those books that’s carried by it being The Holocaust comic. The presentation of the subject matter is fine, but honestly I’ve seen it irl and in fiction so much that it’s not that special to me. Also, I know for a fact that furries beat off to it because there’s anthropomorphic nudity and I agree with banning that shit because I want any impressionable child as far away from furry shit as possible.
uh, could you plz elaborate?
I merged two thoughts, but more I had Jewish neighbors for most of my life and lived near a Jewish community that had strong friendships with non-Jewish ones. The generational difference is something that’s always existed. I did see some Jewish grandmothers be absolutely psychotic, but they literally only had 2nd cousins go through the Holocaust. People I met who directly went through it usually were pretty calm, like my grandfather talking about the war in the Pacific it was a chapter in their life that was over. They had odd habits, but it was treated as eccentricities.
Whatever happened to Dakken anyway?
Got his own book for awhile, died, got brought back as a Horseman of Death, got gayer, died.
I would question your view of the world if you view anything with anthropomorphic animal characters as 'furry garbage'. That's a really dumb take with no nuance to it whatsoever.
I kind of forgot about that detail about Daken. Yeah, he had some extra ability, where he could manipulate pheromones, and "seduce" people, or something. I liked it better, though, when his father was dead for a bit, and he took the moniker of Wolverine (again, technically. His sister did for a while, too).
I remember The Grim Reaper (the cyborg with the scythe hand) and Archangel being part of that set-up, as well.
Then got Krakoa'd, joined wish.com X-Factor, started banging Aurora, mellowed out and started to get along with his dad and all the girl clones (we were at two Lauras and one Laura clone until recently) and just now got disassembled by Sabretooth and various alt-universe Sabreteeth to spell out a birthday message for Sniktbub.
Three words caused you to angrily type that out.

That's the thing, though, I'm aware he has that pheromone stuff, but in neither of those instances was Daken seducing anyone. It was clear from the context and the reactions of both Bullseye and the H.A.M.M.E.R. agent that Daken's attention was unwanted.
He fucked Hawkeye, and Bullseye, too, didn't he? Or he just snogged them.
I seem to remember that he had a violent/emotionally abusive relationship with some lady cop, too. During one of their arguments (I think she tried to kill him), he chopped off one of her hands. And you thought his old man was unlucky in love; Daken just can't help himself when it comes to his angry sadist tendencies.
He definitely kissed Bullseye, but judging by Lester's shocked expression in no way was it consensual.
I hate time travel as a crutch and I have never understood why making Moira the anchor of the X universe was ever a good idea.
That’s exactly when I read Daken: Dark Wolverine, I still got the floppy issues.
