The superhero genre and its consequences
every time I find a comic I like I then see something like this that reminds me that the superhero genre is the most fascist genre in the history of fiction.
ever quick on his feet, the iron dome ties a child to his truck and carbombs the local hospital
Yeah, the furthest left you get out of comics are usually ones that are like "Is it okay for a superhero to kill people to make the world better?" and the writer being like "Yes, but it still makes them bad compared to the ones that don't"
I feel like Watchmen pretty conclusively answered "no" to that one.
Superman was originally a Roosevelt progressive. He tore down tenements and put in fancy new project housing to fix poverty. Wave of the future!

how about it's I Give Dome and the superhero represents how the IDF can suck my dick
If you're going to make a Jewish superhero, why not make a fucking Golem? Those are awesome.
This is just a fascist in fetish gear, with a star of David slapped onto it to make it wildly anti-Semitic by suggesting that Zionist Apartheid is a integral to being Jewish.

Seigel, Shuster, Kirby and Lee were all Jewish, and the premise is exactly the same.
It's only antisemitic if you consider Zionist Apartheid a bad thing, which the propagandists making this do not.
I love that the initial reaction was “fetish gear” not this obscure Jewish ritual item
An evil stepbrother possessed by an ancient spirit of destruction?
Yeah, that seems right
No, it's screaming afterwards how if he didn't, Hamas would kill every Jew, Christian and puppy in the world
every Jew, Christian and puppy in the world
Rest of world: Purposefully looks away from cross dangling from Christian Palestinian kid's neck
The maniac lunacy of :homelander: + the genocidal attitude of might makes right and imperialism of :think-mark:
Should've just gone with Gal Godot and tweaked the colors on her WW outfit.
