Well... time travel shenanigans orchestrated by Doom and Molecule Man still resulted in the Seventh Cosmos iteration of the Marvel Multiverse being destroyed anyway. So it's not like time travel = auto-win. Maybe at best a pyrrhic victory if we go by on-panel feats?Either way, is time travel even a consideration if it's GEB fighting them?
It isn't, but it's nice to have some discussion and to see if others had insight into what 'non linear beings ' mean.

Racsim is the rejection of equal rights and equal opportunities for all races. Insults and jokes pertaining to someone's ethnicity are neither racist nor inherently worse than any other insults or jokes.
interesting take
Originally posted by AstnerI'm not bothered about your joke, lol. I don't need to be offended to just see it for what it is. I can read the words on the page, after all.
Grow some thicker skin and move on with your life.
You do seem upset though.
Originally posted by DarkSaint85In the spirit of Time Runs Out and Al Ewing's current Defenders story, those who do not exist or experience time linearly (like Doctor Manhattan???) are non linear beings. And even linear beings who can break the rules of linearity with time travel can effectuate non linear actions.

But something is nagging my mind because I was pretty sure Beyonder did do time-related shenanigans before Hickman's Secret Wars. I'm too drunk and lazy to look it up now though. Maybe someone else recalls.

He's merely expressing his racist sentiments through his insults, Smurph. Harmless japes.
I see I've missed quite a party.

He extracted a Doom from the future to put him in secret wars because the Doom of the present was dead, he could also see the past and snatch luke cage and Iron Fist from that time and take them to the present and then return them back, he teleported Rachel Phoenix to the future, also in a Spiderman mini Doom with his powers claimed to be present in the past and future, and all of time and space, in the Deadpool-team up story, he sent Deadpool to the dawn of time, I'm not sure if these last two stories are canon anyway.

do you see the contradiction?
A racial slur, while it can be used to express racist sentiments, is not inherently racist. Racism, by definition, is the belief that there should be a discrimation of rights or opportunity based on race, nothing more. As long as you disagree with that you are not racist, regardless of how you express yourself and regardless of how you're percieved.

conveniently, as it turns out, words are entirely irrelevant.
This is even true in the U.S. where this is a sensitive topic. Black people are not regarded as racist for using the "n-word," despite it often being regarded as the most charged racial slur, so clearly the word itself isn't inherently racist.
^ I don't know why you keep going on about "inherent meaning"? You're attacking a strawman. I haven't once said that words hold inherent meaning. I've repeatedly said that we understand meaning based on context.
But I do finally see your point. When you insulted Abhi for being Indian, it was like a Black person using the N word.
Very clever, well argued.
