Nah, I don’t pander to pissants.
You’ve never read a Superman comic.

Have you seen The Boys? There's an actual fan club of Homelander. The series creators are trying to cut it down because it's the exact opposite of the message they try to bring. Vilans are people's new heroes now. Like Trump and Musk for example.
At the same time, I like that the antagonists of the boys are people with nuance.
The best shows and stories are ones where both sides believe they are doing what is best for everyone, but disagree on what's best for everyone... Like Thanos. His idea was good in concept, his execution? Not great.

I’ve read plenty. You just don’t understand my criticisms of this film. Not my problem.

Same with so the storm trooper Star Wars stuff that seemed to start around the first time Trump ran.

Edit: And it’s James Gunn. Sean Gunn is only in there for a cameo.

I don’t like it when comics do it either. What’s your point?

My point is that you do not have a point. You’re bitching that a film about comics does what comics do and portrayed a character as the source material portrays the character.
You’re crying about media that wasn’t made to pander to you specifically that was based on media that doesn’t pander to you specifically.
Go watch the Snyder films and quit your bitching.

its the billionaires(class war) + a little troll farm is keeping us distracted from the class war. with the help right wing talking heads and fox.
For fucks sake, mate. How can you be so right, and so fucking blind at the same time???

No, you don’t understand my point, and that’s kind of sad, because my point isn’t that hard to grasp. I’m tired of explaining it though, so have a good night.

Feels like they're arguing with themselves and begging for attention most of the time. It wouldn't be a problem if corpo bitches didn't listen to them.
If only they were arguing with themselves. The problem is everyone else who picks a side, and then jumps in arse first with a lot of opinions and very little information that isnt just headlines and buzzwords. People are so fucking angry all the time. And they blame the "other side" for it, not once considering that for every right wing grifter, theres a left wing grifter turning the screw just as hard in order to get likes, shares and subscribes.
Only the time of the online influencer became a thing, we were all fucked. Covid just accelerated to ludicrous speed, and now dark helmet is up all our asses.

No, actually, I think you just proved you’re the dense one.
“No, you are!” - You, that’s what you sound like.

Fascists aren't people in most of the ways that matter.
They do have viable organs tho, if we wanted to address the shortage in an easy and ethical way.
If i am able to switch one word in a 3 sentence comment in order make it exactly sound like what a Fascist would say, it is probably not a very anti fascist thing.
Dehumanizing the outgroup is very fascist. -

If you have meaningful criteria for what personhood is and why it matters-criteria constructed with intellectual honestly to have some actual utility and not just a desire to avoid awkward questions-it's very likely a fascist does not meet them.
Is chat gpt a person? Why or why not? If yes, what's the earliest model that counted, why did previous models not?
Odds are most of your answers for not are either silly 'its not even made of meat' and kind of offensive (you only think i have value because im meaty and delicious? Wtf? Is steak a person? Tofu?) or apply at least somewhat to fascists, or at least to every fascist's aspiration.

Is a Fascist a human? For sure.I have no problems fighting fascists, if needed with strong violence.
The moment we throw then into a camp for extermination is the point i am going to fight the new fascists.You can sate your sadism on fantasy, no need to become the monster yourself.

The funniest thing is that the superhero they have a problem with is Superman.
If it were Batman, that would be different. Batman isn't a pure-hearted hero, he's a more complex character. If it had been someone in the X-Men, or pretty much any Avenger other than Captain America, there would be room for a discussion.
But, Superman is such a good, kind-hearted hero that it's basically impossible to be a good person and be anti-Superman.
Even in-universe they call him boy scout lol

By dehumanizing them you're no different. Treat your enemies with respect, they are human too, just dumb pieces of shit. Don't lower yourself to their level. Be better than them.

Cool, which one(s) do you use? You're avoiding the question. Which is silly. The point was to highlight the space. Why does this make you so uncomfortable?
person? Skipping that. Human? Of course!
Cool so say hi to henrietta for me. I don't see why thats a philosophically important thing; being a particular species of ape. Privileging it when there are obviously other intelligent species in the world, other people, seems incredibly bigoted and shitty.
that would make me a fascist!
Industrialized violence is not what makes a fascist a fascist. It is a philosophy. A very stupid one, but a philosophy. Plenty of people before and after gabriel d’anunzio have done plenty of horrible things without being fascists. Fascism is not a synonym for 'thing i don't like', for fuck's sake. And that sentence is one I've heard a fascist say, but apparently you need fucking reminding.
save the nazis!
So i am actually down to have this discussion, albeit from pretty close to team 'and their families: if it's old enough to talk it's old enough to hang' but you're avoiding potentially uncomfortable questions because they make you uncomfortable, and i would ask more intellectual honesty from you than you're willing to give yourself. Which seems rude, so lets not.
