Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow
« on: October 17, 2021, 08:14:13 AM »
This is the new motto for Superman. They ditched "The American Way". Apparently Superman is now also a tippy toe. Another article I saw showed Superman and his boyfriend going at it in the comic.

I'm not a comic book guy. Never really read them when I was a kid. I guess a lot of comic books are geared towards adults now? If these are geared towards kids, it's just wrong.

I don't keep up with comics but I figured they already had done this since we all know for a fact The American Way is racism, slavery, and exploitation of the poor. He does comes from a planet of all white people after all.

Every cultural touchstone is being systematically polluted and perverted.

This isn't a market response to a big demand.

Our culture has been subverted on purpose by those who hate what we call American values.

Losing money on a gay Superman push is worth it to somebody obviously if they can destroy an iconic American symbol.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

That is now "Faster than a speeding tampon", because even a superman can menstruate, you anti-gender fluid, domestic terrorist, old white man.

It would make more sense if they also ditched the truth and justice parts. Woke superman is probably not much interested in those, either.

I'm kind of surprised that superman didn't come out as a goth, transgender, bisexual, wiccan furry.

Quoted for truth.

Kids growing up today will not be allowed to see anything depicting traditional American values in a positive light.

"They're" getting pretty brazen about that "America Bad" stuff.

A long-term strategy come to fruition.

Well, if we were too dumb to see it coming and prevent it, all I can say in a Darwinian Survival sense is, maybe we deserve it.

I've said it before and I guess I have to say it again:
 
Xenophobia is a survival trait.

There are plenty of examples of that across the species, where an an intruder or omega individual gets torn apart or shunned.  Apes, lions, wolves come to mind immediately. (Remember the "Lone Wolf," the wolf which is shunned and follows behind the pack and is the last to partake of the pack's kill?)

Anyhow, good luck, America.  I've done my part to buffer the cancerous onslaught of "undocumented" immigration and poisonous globalism.

Good luck America.

As Paul Harvey would say, "And that's... the rest of the story."

DC and Marvel comics started making all that sweet movie/TV money and the writers/artists are hired for identify reasons rather than skill/talent.  Selling comic books is way down the list in priorities.  I have heard some of the top selling comics have sales numbers that would get them canceled 30 years ago.  I heard japanese comic sales are huge right now.
