Just given how I've very rarely encountered anyone offended by Magneto being Jewish but have seen people offended by stuff like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's Romani heritage being erased in the movies or Magneto seemingly working with HYDRA in Secret Empire, I'm gonna have to give a big fat "no" to that. It seems like the trap of offending actual people while trying to avoid offending hypothetical people.

My issue isn't with Magneto being Jewish per say. It's his being a Holocaust survivor and all the tonedeafness that this has been accompanied by.
For example, for all the outrage over Magneto working with Hydra that wasn't even the first time he'd worked with Nazis. He teamed up with the Red Skull in Acts of Vengeance and only turned on the Skull when he was revealed to be an anti-mutant bigot. Not an anti-semit as you would expect of a Nazi.
Portraying a Holocaust survivor as being just as bad as Nazis is not any better than whitewashing the Maximoffs (whose Romani heritage is as acknowledged as Dick Grayson's romani heritage).
Thing is, I only really say you saying that, no offense. Even in the articles I've looked for from Jewish writers and scholars that were more critical of the Holocaust portrayal, their beef wasn't with him being a Holocaust survivor and more with his Jewishness only ever coming up in the context of remembering how his family was murdered in a concentration camp. Removing that aspect of his character entirely is just throwing the baby out with the bathwater and opens a whole other can of worms.
Even Captain America is getting tired of Kanye.

Dude is using Stormfront talking points like he's the first to hear about them.
I don't usually even like to talk about him since I know it's usually just to promote an album, but this is just getting beyond sad.

To be fair, Onyx was one of the characters Margot was going to use, before they ultimately settled on the line-up being Harley, Dinah, Helena, Renee and Cass.
My guess is that this film will lead to Cass being the DCEU/WoDC Batgirl, with Barbara mentoring her, since both films (BOP and Batgirl) have the same screen writer. Could end up being the first Asian led super hero film too. As for Batman, his film seems to be on schedule for a 2020 release (after BOP and Flash).
Done with DC. Can't handle the constant whiplash! Time to go on a hiatus!
Kanye West understands perfectly what he's saying...he's a fucking attention whore and begs for that attention. People just fell for his whole LOOK AT ME...LOOK AT ME act. Honestly someone famous should tweet to him ..."Its hard when your a has been now begging for attention..." Because all it is for is that.

Moving on from an overrated guy demanding attention ....we go to someone getting a movie based on their life. Well folks its not just Freddie Mercury and Queen coming to the big screen. In a few months (2019) were gonna see Sir Elton John arrive.
This one looks like its gonna play up the insane 70's era that John lived through and everything.

I personally think he is using whatever "mental illness" he may actually have as jsut a back drop to say stupid shit for attention and then just go back and say, "no no it was my bipolar superpower!"
We even sure this dude is bipolar or is he just using that for attention too?
attention whore married into the ultimate attention whore family to create this monster.
