A quick note, this isn't supposed to be me saying everyone else sucks, but this whole thing is just me sharing something that very much points out out the fandom seems to treat Tony. I love every single person that he's compared to in this post, but yeah.

Everyone else: Gets to do shit.
Tony Stark: Is a villain for doing similar shit while also being the only one who fucking cares.
