"PBS didn't go woke, you grew up to be a shitty person."

Currious also, I think a lot of people are forgetting... in 1946, the superman radio show actually had a 16 episode plot called "the clan of the firey cross", in which superman is protecting a Chinese american family, from a clan of evil doers in white hoods. Not only was the group an unsubtle reference to the KKK, but thanks to a mole in the KKK named Stetson Kennedy, it even used real world up to date for the time secret code words from the actual KKK.

You know your society is psychologically burnt to a crisp when positive values and empathy can't even be "pushed" through fiction, lol.

1949:

1950:

What changed is that right-wingers managed to convince people that Lex Luthor is not a villain but an aspirational figure.

Just saw it, it was a really solid Superman movie. Superman did Superman things against Lex Luthor and acted as Superman acts since his inception.

Somehow this has people upset.

what exactly is upsetting people about Superman?

I enjoyed the movie.

If being kind to others is too woke, so be it. But the people who believe that can fuck right off.

I look forward to a day when I can stare one of them in the face, have them ask me for some sort of help or support, and then I tell them to fuck off.

Because I'm not Superman.
