How is kindness a bad thing? I thought that was universally agreed to be a good message to have in a piece of media. I guess the excuse is they don't want media to have messages at all but like, how would you even have a movie where the hero has no values that they stand for?

For all the right wingers who think woke, pro immigrant superman is a new concept, reminder that this is a poster from the 1950s

    Interestingly enough zero black people depicted, or any other races but white - just one dude with a dark orange complexion like the Mango Mussolini.

    from this article:

    Another story from 1953 called “People are People” has a Black youngster holding off an escaped lion until Superman can capture the animal. The owner of the circus the lion has escaped from wants to congratulate a white boy for his (nonexistent) heroism until Superman points out that the heroic young man was Black, and that the circus owner only wanted to congratulate the white boy because he was prejudiced.

    Ethnicities. “Race” is a shit expression.

    Agreed, but 'ethnicity' means something else, closer to 'national origin' mentioned on the poster. All the white people pictured may well be of different ethnicities, for example. 'Ancestries', perhaps? 'Different skin color'?

    Yeah you got the crux of the problem here! Let‘s correct people that are saying the same with a bit of arrogance to have a dopamine kick and then let’s make a fight about this so we are pushing the other person away

    God why everything has to be so divisive these days?!
