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?

    People angry that Superman represents kindness

    Do these people exist? Is it just one troll, or a significant enough of a population to even give the slightest bit of thought?

      I frequent dive bars. I have met plenty of people who believe in kindness, and love, and Jesus and shit - but not for immigrants, not for non-white people, not for criminals of any level. I straight up have had these people say this to my non-white face and then say, “oh but you don’t count because you have a job” or “you don’t count because you aren’t a drug addict”. Etc. etc.

      These people suck fucking dick and I want them all to die.

      It’s fucking ironic too when these same people talk about smoking weed, or stealing from big box stores self-checkouts, or vandalizing some dude’s car.

      “Rules for thee, not for me.”

      I read local obituaries solely to celebrate when I see some of these people die.

      Look at how many Americans would voluntarily die themselves just to prevent “unworthy” people from getting free health care.

      These people exist.

      I’ve met countless people who hate morals and will tell you you’re an idiot if you treat other humans as equals

      It’s one guy making the propaganda right now, but I assure you, in a week, everyone in your family that you try not to talk to will be spouting this horseshit.
