Most versions of Superman don't have an edge. He's called the Big Blue Boy Scout for a reason.

You have to know that there are multiple terms for people that teach at a university around the world, and that "docent" is not the only possible term.
Like I've never heard a professor referred to as a "docent" in North America. Docents here are information guides in museums and galleries.

Do you think just ignoring a festering fascist presence that is getting tons of funding in a community that regularly has money problems will lead to it just going away?

Why are you telling someone who looks down on CEOs that he should also hate Jews alongside the Nazis?

Seems how? They didn't say anything like that. You think the issue with this guy is because he's rich and nothing else?
The funny thing is I've seen people saying the exact same thing you are to people laughing at Charlie Kirk getting killed, while doing their best to ignore all the things he stood for, said, and did. Right down to immediately accusing the person of adopting (an incorrect idea of) Nazism by not valuing all lives as precious. Just think about the brainpower behind people who think those laughing at Charlie Kirk are like the Nazis but not Charlie "Civil Rights was a mistake" Kirk.
There's gotta be a term for people who get all righteous about treating all lives as precious while they ignore that the person in question actively makes the world worse.

It's really telling that the people who are crawling out of the woodwork to brag about how much they hate Pizzacake don't seem to know the difference between consent and sexual assault.

Imagine using sexual assault as a pithy justification getting upset about a webcomic.
It was about consent anyway, which apparently you can't differentiate from sexual assault somehow.

Note the absence of any sentiment like "because he has more money than me".

Has anyone noticed nyaa has a lot of viruses these days?
Been happening across many public trackers, and I've even seen it happen in Funfile. Best to filter out .lnk, .exe, and .zipx filetypes from your download client.

Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT Game Moves to Xbox From PlayStation

They would have recouped faster if they had the foresight to publish the game on PC as well as PlayStation. Kojima Productions made money on Death Stranding pretty quick because the PC sales were very good. Sony only got it from PlayStation sales.

They were almost a monopoly, Xbox was circling the drain. Sony pulled the trigger too early.

Scrapist is a name shared by many tools that scrape webpages and content as well. The content of the comic is not about sexual assault at all though. It's clearly all about consent.

The only thing idiotic here is that art=idea and therefore no art can be stolen. To prove this, go take some art from your nearest museum. I'll wait.
But tell me more about how stealing someone's art for use by AI is an authoritarian idea created by the capitalist class, and how the idea that all art is up for grabs by anyone so it's totally okay to use it for AI is not the idea from the capitalist class. This is the kind of explanation that deserves some popcorn.

Why should a political party take responsibility or control over someone who isn't on any of their ballots just because he's the family member of someone who is? Seems like a pretty dangerous thing to advocate for.

Where did you see the Democratic party making it official party business to assume responsibility for Hunter Biden in order to defend him?

No part of this comment says Hunter Biden should not be Democratic party business.
He’s politically-relevant to the current state of the Democratic party, a fucked up election, and corruption of Joe Biden. Democrats repeatedly ignored his crimes and conflicts of interest as a nothingburger. Dems being tribalistic about “one of their own” instead of simply holding him accountable did them no favors.
You literally say he's politically relevant to the party before launching into what the party should do with him, in disgreement to someone saying he's not relevant to the Democrats.

I did and the results showed it as just a basic term to describe an occupation in politics.
None of the examples here have it as a pejorative:
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/political-operative
Here's an Atlantic article about political operatives and what they do, nothing negative about the term per se:
Here's a blurb on Georgetown's site referring to a political operative as a regular job stream in politics:
https://politics.georgetown.edu/get-involved2/advance-team/
Here's a guy who's calling himself a political operative just fine:
https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2t2sxk/iama_political_operative_ama/
So where did you get the idea that being called a political operative is a negative thing?
