... you might be reading too much into a silly superhero. He fights a man with mechanical tentacles named 'Doctor Octopus'. He has an enemy who is literally just a stage magician called 'Mysterio'. There are several animal-people. One villain is literally made out of sand.

It's... generally not that deep.

When he says "I'm an old leftie" in Justice League Unlimited it makes me feel all warm and red inside.

The Kharkiv counteroffensive, I believe

Tommy Bones has many secrets

The character is Moon Knight, it's a popular meme to change his dialogue into crazy, unhinged rambling. Not sure what issue or comic.

Alright but 99% of my memories of superheroes as a kid weren't them fighting crime, but them fighting supervillains, which is generally the main draw for kids.

Daddy Pavel always delivers 🥵

I've been on the internet... fuck, almost 20 years. I'm getting old. Unfortunately, my history with these tankie fucks suggests to me that they're serious and genuine - or at least, not just bots and propagandists. Human NPCs, contrarians, the occasional deluded paranoiac who believes every source is lying to them...

Reverse image search turns up Bright and Cheery Amnesia

Offensive. Haven't you heard ACAB? Assigned Cop At Birth!

Sure, but that could be said for any media, and saying that superheroes as a whole are just pro-cop propaganda is way over the line of what is a reasonable interpretation. I'm not even a big superhero guy and I recognize that. Shit, a big part of a lot of these superheroes is that the cops aren't their friends and are part of the reason why they hide their identity.

Not chained up. The Abomination carries his chains everywhere. He's kinky like that.

Pax et Justitia

Don't forget this one

Traditional-style Ethiopian illustrations often have sharp outlines, it's a very neat look.

tbf if the Primarchs were female, the SMs would probably be female, or mixed male and female units.

Plague Doctor: "This is poison."

Me: [big sip]

Doesn't everyone?

The two characters are from She-Ra, a cartoon with LGBT representation. The flag is the lesbian pride flag, I think.

It still instills a dynamic that the best way to solve disputes is by force

How often is it that superheroes start the violence? Or are you suggesting that smiling as your teeth are knocked down your throat should be the reaction, here?

and that some parts of the public are undesirable by fiat.

... given the predilection of comics for redemption arcs, antiheroes, the struggle of being different, and the fucking X-Men, I'm gonna have to press X to doubt on that.

Given the current affairs of the US in which half our federal officials are trying to outlaw trans folk, I’m hyper-aware that this is a bad message to give.

You're hyperaware that a message that isn't being sent is bad. Okay. I'm very aware that Teletubbies advocating genocide is bad. Good thing that's not at all relevant.
