I think it's so funny to see Steve fans complain about "wokeness" because who tf do you think you're stanning? LMAO, do these people think Steve is some kinda centrist? Or a libertarian? Or God forbid, a conservative? How are you gonna complain about a leftist narrative in a CAPTAIN AMERICA run???

Omegaverse Concept: 
Y’know how certain ingredients in perfumes will smell great to some people but terrible to others? 
Well what if it was the same in a/b/o, only with a person’s personality reflected in their scent; so that others would only find their scent attractive if they had a compatible personality type?
eg. picture someone coming up to Steve, expecting him to smell like the kind of douchebags they’re usually attracted to because that’s what they think Captain America will be like... only to recoil, because to them he smells repellant.

STEVE ROGERS IS A SOCIALIST

Steve Rogers, the People’s P̶r̶i̶n̶c̶e̶s̶s̶  Superhero.
OR: Steve’s relationship with the media and regular people. I feel like I have a lot of thoughts that go in different directions: on one side, I feel like mcu Steve is on the shy/private side, so I don't see him accepting interviews or TV appearances left and right or having a strong online presence. He has already been a dancing monkey once before, so idk how much he'd enjoy being in the same situation again.
That being said, Steve is also the guy who can't help but step in when he sees injustice, so. It's a delicate balance. Would he engage in Twitter feuds with politicians and bullies? jury's out. But I definitely can see him not holding back IRL and in real time.
(I bet in the mcu you can find at least a couple of YT compilations that are like "Steve Rogers being a socialist for 9 minutes and 15 seconds" or "Steve Rogers clenching his jaw every time the journalists ask him about X Right Wing politician", because Avengers press conferences are a thing I can see happening, and I can definitely see journalists having a blast asking those questions. Even if sometimes he does try to tone it down, he probably doesn’t have a great poker face, lol).
But then again, Steve is also a guy who can be cheeky and friendly with regular people (Steve and Sam's first meeting? Him giving that cheeky little shush to the kid who recognized him at the exhibit? His interaction with Peter?), so. I bet there is at least one Reddit thread about celebs where a single mom is recounting how Steve Rogers saved her kid from a public meltdown at a diner one time, by helping her draw a picture of the Avengers. 
And lastly, he is a little aware of the effect he has on people (he does check himself out and says he has America's ass, come on), so. I love the idea of him messing with people while keeping a completely innocent face, leaving them wondering if he realizes what he'd just said.
(I can see Colbert making Steve take his questionert, and asking Steve the apples or oranges question and him replying with a straight face "Peaches". The whole studio would be buzzing as Colbert becomes red and looks into the camera and bites his lip hard. Meanwhile, Steve is just 😇😇😇)
Tl, dr: I think that it isn't as easy as it seems to balance out Steve's introverted nature, his little-shit nature (fandom sometimes goes a little bit overboard) and him being a hot blond and knowing it, but I think those three aspects of his character can definitely co-exist. And that would definitely make him one of the most loved-by-the public, hated-by-the-conservative-media heroes

Young Irish Catholic immigrant Steve Rogers who was chronically ill, orphaned in New York City at 14 during the Great Depression, and worked a dozen little jobs for pennies on the dollar and spent his spare time beating up Nazis is 100% a union supporter and communist and I feel like the 2023 Captain America run is the first to be brave enough start admitting this.
Also Steve specifically as established in the early 80s is from the Lower East Side of Manhattan not Brooklyn as the movies claimed.
Lower East Side of Manhattan in the early 20th century was a known anarchist, communist, and socialist hot spot.

"Isn't that why we fight, so we can end the fight? So we can go home?"
First off, now nice Tony. Great thing to say to someone you know never got "go home" it's real nice. But, wow! Does that not really demonstrate the difference between the two. For Steve it's not about ending the fight and going home, it's about protecting people in need and doing the right thing. Mindset of someone who built weapons for "war and terror" vs an actual solider who fought in WW2. It's not remotely the same.
It really is a great scene.
I think Steve snapped because he heard the word "home" for the 3rd or 4th time in the movie and the poor thing was sick and tired of it but it's also that sentiment expressed by Stark that once the mission is done then there's no need for them anymore, and while there might be some truth to the idea that Steve hates that mindset because he feels he has no life outside Cap, there's also that part that he knows there's always next mission - and after TWS he has seen first-hand how much corruption there is, so if not them then who?
Steve "I can't see a situation pointed south" Rogers can't retire because this is not a job for him, it's who he is. Stark can compartmentalize and he can give up the fight (not the suits) and decide he doesn't want to get involved but Steve doesn't have that luxury. It's not the shield or the suit that propel him to do something, it's his morality, his ethics, his core, everything that makes him who he is. So even though he could give up the mantle he would still be doing something in a different capacity but he can't just "go home" and forget about the fight.
This is why I always say Stark is the best example of American exceptionalism but Steve is a socialist.

srry this is in reference to your tags on an old reblog of a post but i just wanna say like yes i agree so much!!, bucky barnes & steve rogers' stories and rife with trauma at the hands of being exploited by state(government) powers and (serious) writers simply CAN'T write a good story about Bucky and/or Steve without veering into deeply anti-American politics (ESP bc the story blatantly uses analogies of real life USA human rights abuses!)
too bad pretty much all of the marvel franchise in films tv anim/LA print etc can't ever actual commit to the inextricable politics of the story and try to have their cake & eat it too and p much every story circles back to "ooh we luv cap'n murica and his shield is the symbol of all goodness ooh 🇺🇸", and as such, Bucky and Steve's stories never get the actual exploration they deserve, because their too intertwined with being surveilled/exploited/experimented/incarcerated/monitored by the state and the marvel franchise can't commit to the politics of what that means
i mean... obvs the war stuff and human experimentation and torture and slavery are much worse abuses in the grand scheme of things, but writing this made me think of the D+ show scene where they literally have Bucky be monitored by the carceral state and have his autonomy denied in ways that is textually identical to how the real life US prison system abuses people... and yet it's framed as "bucky deserves it" unlike the good military man who's being inconvenience by this POW who was experimented on by Nazis hired by the military apparatus he works for. the D+ show acts as if the carceral state is benevolently "keeping Bucky in check".. like that's such an authoritarian & fascist & specifically American stance to take WRT the US prison system. all bc marvel can't stomach portraying the government's human right's abuses as abuses within their works. the franchise keeps circling back to defending the agents of the state and only giving grace when characters act as agents of the state and treating noncompliance/resistance to the state as character flaws to be grown out of at best
Ok first of all I am HONORED to get such a thoughtful and long response, I really appreciate the dialogue.
Here are more thoughts:
Marvel, as a whole, *wants* to tackle American imperialism, especially in the recent Captain America releases. This is a partially inescapable consequence of the original comics, which did quite a lot to critique the American system(ie. making Cap himself a fairly outspoken socialist), and partially just a result of recent social shifts. However, in the MCU mores than in the comics, this falls flat for a couple of reasons:
The Avengers, are, when you cut to the bone, an American paramilitary group, in the MCU (I would argue this is not as true in the comics, though it is less applicable.) therefore, any critique of the system critiques the very existence of the Avengers, and by virtue of yk.....storytelling and needing them to exist, the MCU cannot delve too far into that critique, lest its portrayal of the Avengers veer closer to the portrayal of The Seven and other villainous "hero" groups. The Avengers must be the heroes, and therefore the system that put them into power cannot be completely unjust.
The MCU resolves this by writing stories that emphasize WHO is in charge, not the system that gives them power. SHIELD is a threat BECAUSE it is led by Pierce after Fury's death.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier runs into this cognitive dissonance, HARD. In essence, because the villains are right. Not morally, ofc, but ultimately, the Flag Smashers, putting aside the murder, are working for the good of people, and the establishment is not. However, the establishment cannot be seen as the source of the rot, so:
In FA:TWS, Captain America is a threat, not because the concept of one man having so much authority is deeply horrifying, but because the man in the mask is Walker, not Rogers. An unworthy king cheating a just system, who must be replaced by the rightful heir.
Steve and Sam are good captains, and so is what they represent, because the values of the system are defined not by the system itself but by the symbol at the helm. ....Its an easy cop-out. "Sure, the results of the system aren't good" Marvel says. "But don't think about the system itself. If we have the right symbol at the helm, if you're responsible enough, compliant enough(don't get captured and brainwashed by nazis), everything will magically right itself"
In short: Helmut Zemo is right, and not just right, but illustrates the issue at the heart of Avengers stories beautifully. He's a refugee from a small, economically disadvantaged (putting Sokovia somewhere between Latvia: 2021 GDP of 39.85 Billion USD and Serbia: 2021 GDP of 63 Billion USD to the US's 23,315.08 Billion USD in 2021), war-torn country, that is completely destroyed by the actions of a United States paramilitary organization. His entire ideology boils down to "Supremacy is wrong, military interventionism is wrong". And because his ideology threatens the entire foundation of the MCU, the conversation HAS to stop at "he killed people, so he's wrong". The same applies to Karli. (and OFC murder is wrong, but we're talking their baseline ideologies) Marvel's storytelling falls flat because when the audience asks why these people did what they did, the writers can only shrug their shoulders and say "I guess they weren't good enough to believe in symbols"
Symbols don't feed families, and they don't repair wartorn land. Reparations do<3

I hate it when ppl are mad at someone for headcanonning a character as conservative or pro life. And I hate it when more when they claim that it's "not canon". Like, bitch, you head canon STEVE ROGERS as a pro abortion queer SOCIALIST. He grew up in America in the 1930s and 40s when America was largely Christian, when communism was largely looked down upon, and all gay ppl were still largely closeted.
But hey, I may think that it an idiot, but it's also your blorbo, and if you wanna headcanon your blorbo as a queer pro choice socialist, then fine, be my guest. You know why? I think it's fine for you to think what ever you want about your blorbos, even if it makes no sense.

Bucky Barnes agrees that the rights of laborers are important. After all, he is one. But does his best friend Steve Rogers have to be the one to risk his life doing the dangerous work of fighting for better working conditions? Bucky does his best to protect him, but it isn't easy. Meanwhile, there's a whole different kind of danger at home. Bucky knows Steve loves him, and he can't ever admit that he loves Steve right back. Because Steve would never hide who he is, and being a fairy is even more perilous than being a union organizer. When management hires some goons to break up a union rally, sure enough, Steve gets clobbered. Bucky takes care of him, like always, and it leads to a near-confession Bucky narrowly escapes. But then Bucky gets hurt at another rally and Steve decides they're not going to waste one more day denying the way they feel.

I mean I might say I’m a fan of the MCU, but really I’m a fan of the version where characters and their arcs are written by people passionate about them instead of by a soulless, corrupt corporation looking to make a quick buck.

knowing what we know about Steve, what do you think Sarah was like? what do you think their relationship was like?
Ooo juicy question!
I think of her as being like Steve, only worse. 
She uses her words alone instead of fists to combat wrong-doers. 
And, now, I don’t want to stereotype, but... this Irishwoman can Talk. I find the typical Saintly Mother characterisation bland af and frankly a bit sexist (y'know, the madonna of the house with the soft voice who never says anything harsh ever? Bor-ing! How could that woman marry a soldier, run a hospital ward like clockwork, and handle a son like Steve? She needs some guts to her!)
I hc that Steve's gift for public speaking is a sign of her influence. 
Since his voice is, it seems, the only part of him that he never had trouble with pre-serum, I see her asking him to read aloud to her as she's going about her household tasks (especially while he's, eg. bedridden, and needs something to take his mind off it).
And from that, he would've learned how to read a speech compellingly, as well as become something of a bookworm, surprisingly well-read because he has so much sick time.
(If you think about it, it's odd for someone who has never been listened to before, to have developed that talent of public speaking unless there's a reason.)
I also picture her being more formal than Steve, more devout, less irreverent. Not necessarily by nature, but just because she's had a hard life and it's ground some of the joy out of her (my own grandmother lost a husband and had a sickly child, and I saw how this impacted her).
Maybe she was something of a free spirit in her youth, but not (entirely) by the time Steve knew her. 
She’d be a feminist and a democratic socialist; always interested in unions, protests, refusing to discriminate against people because she’s a medical professional and it’s not the good Christian thing to do, in her opinion. (And she knows what it means to be down and out, to be looked down upon for being Irish). Being a snob, she would think, is a rich man’s thing. She didn’t come to live in New York just to have provincial values. 
She’d be helped in this endeavour by being a tenacious contrarian; stumbling into far-sighted ideas just because her natural instinct is always to question and contradict the status quo. A firebrand, seeing nothing contradictory in questioning authority or arguing back about what the Bible means, as you might expect from a devout woman. (A wild-child in respectable catholic widow’s clothing?) This is not a woman you ever want to get into an argument with. 
Like, I can just see the local priest, who maybe isn't as kind or generous as he should be by Rogers Standards, seeing her coming towards him with a militant glint in her eye, and muttering 'fuck' under his breath. (Cuz, y'know, here comes That Rogers Woman again. Cancel my one o’clock, Sister Mary.)
Also, CATFA is very clear that the good people are those who defend the weak from bullies. So IMO that means Sarah - before Bucky came along - was the one preventing kid!Steve from getting his clock punched. 
Picture a bunch of kid bullies, swarmed around kid Steve, who is sitting on the bottom of his buildings stoop, innocently sketching. 
And then... Mrs Rogers appears on the top step, like Chernabog coming out of the mountain in Fantasia, gives them A Look, and they all scatter. 😅 
I also hc Steve's attitude to authority figures comes from her. 
The way he expects them to uphold a certain moral standard, will absolutely undermine them if they don’t, and expects them to speak to him with respect, even if he is beneath them, and will only show them as much respect as they show him. 
That, to me, screams 'my mother raised me as if we were two equals, a team, a duo, not an authority figure and a subject who is never allowed to question or answer back and just has to go along with whatever they say.' 
Also, the way Steve is with Natasha? 
The lack of any problems with a woman in authority making tactical calls, the nonverbal communications/requests for input, and automatic respect of her opinion, the insistence on interacting with her like a human being, not a flirty sex object. The way he's fine with her asking invasive questions about his private life but will snap Tony's head off for doing the same, has to be warmed up to Sam before he allows it, is cagey towards Erskine even tho there are literal military police outside Steven ffs.
Yeah. 
Steve is very clearly most comfortable with being one half of a familial two-person duo with a highly intelligent woman. That's so Sarah.
I picture Steve being, around Sarah, a lot like he is around Nat. 
Sarah grilling him with questions about what's going on with his life, has he been going to Mass, has he been eating properly, has he been taking his medicine, etc., and him stolidly sitting there, like a good-natured golden retriever being 'savaged' by the family cat. That's my mental image. 
From an aesthetic POV: I see her as lanky but slight, extremely good-looking, fairer-haired than Steve but more tanned, more heart-shaped in the face, and, in a Barnes-Rogers shindig, most likely to be found curled up in a corner with a mug in her hands, gossiping melodramatically with Winnie. 
.
(Sidenote: Sarah and Bucky. 
Bucky can do no wrong. Bucky is a saint, an angel come down to Earth, he has never done anything wrong in his life, ever, and anyone who says otherwise is a filthy rotten liar. Bucky would take years to stop being intimidated by her, and stop being rueful of her influence on Steve -- like, maybe if she was more laidback about Right and Wrong, Steve wouldn’t be getting his ass kicked so often? 
But Adult Bucky would appreciate her more (appreciate the difficulty of keeping Steve alive and well. Or if not well then at least alive). 
And he would occasionally horrify- simply horrify -Steve by flirting with Sarah, and she’d just chortle and smack him with a dish-towel. He would deliberately bring up subjects he knows will set her off just to grin and watch Steve groan and roll his eyes and smash his face into his hands as she starts in on him. 
Bucky could burp out loud at the dinner table and she’d just say ‘well at least it shows he enjoys his food Steve you should take a leaf out of his book and eat more sure look at you love you’re wasting away-’ )
.
(Also: the left boob grab. That’s a Sarahism. No notes.)

So Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty 2022 #4 Had this absolutely bizarre comic. Where Steve has known about an anarchist unionist socialist bar since he was a kid (the actual canon home of Steve Rogers is the lower east side of Manahattan which was known for social movements in the early 20th century). And Steve's mom wasn't for it which okay the Irish Catholic Immigrant who left Ireland presumably to avoid Religious persecution and British imperialism was anti freedom? Hmm. But anyways Steve Knew these people were stepped on by the system he says so in his thoughts. But then he goes on and pretends like he doesn't know what socialism is? When he grew up as the movement was getting its foothold in New York.
And then Steve shakes the man's hand and sits like he's in agreement now. And the whole thing about going there for an argument. It makes fuck all sense if Steve was anti socialism. I feel like the only way this comic makes sense is if Steve was one of the original blue collar immigrant card carrying bleed red for communism picket for the unions guys. And now he goes back to his old favorite meeting place of said orgs and debates people to get a feel on the current state of socialism. Because Steve even from his origin represented fighting fascism more than he ever did supporting America.
And what's so funny is people read this as Steve hating America because any potential perspective outside of fascism is anti American to a lot of people. Which means more than ever who Steve Rogers was is so important. People Get that Steve is supposed to be a commie and it pisses them the fuck off
