Anti-registration.

I think there's a 'serious' vein that runs through stories like that (even though the series does undermine it's own allegory) because I'm both comfortable and uncomfortable with aspects of 'registering' parts of my character.

I am openly gay, but at the same time it was a part of my character that while immensely proud of, was never written down anywhere. Since I married, the fact there is a husband-husband relationship legally defined, my sexuality is also now defined. As a result, should society regress backwards then I'm essentially a 'registered gay' which the authorities may do with as they see fit, should the authorities ever take a stance against us.

So registration as a minority who's characteristics are not readily identifiable (I'm not black) is fine if you won't be bothered by it.

Whatever side Spider-Man is on, I'm on the opposite.

Spidey is more or less the moderate neutral that is torn between the two sides

Shouldn't this poll have been created like a decade ago when this series was actually coming out?

Anyway, anti-registration of course. Captain America is my dude.

I decided to make it now since the movie and Spidey's involvement are getting a lot of buzz

Yeah, I kind of I figured that. I'm just being a jerk, as usual. Tongue
