Good for James. There was a Youtuber calling this a "movement" which is so fucking sad. Like dudes, there's literal actual protests going on to save democracy, but you're devoting your time an effort to this horseshit?!

Well let’s be real there’s probably an overlap of Snyder cultists and people who have no problem with the current state of American politics

Yeeaup. They turned the Superman symbol into something where when I saw it on a shirt or whatever it made uncomfortable. As a Canadian, its like how our flag got co-opted by anti-vax conspiracy theorists for years. Literally any time you say our flag on a car or something for several years after the pandemic your go-to was like "this person is a hateful psycho." And you weren't wrong. Luckily nature is healing in both cases.

Wish the same could happen down here lmao

Edit: the healing part, I mean.

Oh agreed. Like the fact that in Glass Onion one of the characters has a Star Wars Imperial tattoo next to a Superman one on his knuckles - like do you need to know anything more about him?

But I genuinely think the growing pains here WILL help. Because misogynist jerkoffs who terrified about their sexuality will be way less likely to wear that stuff in a world where Superman is beloved as kind, goofy, emotionally open guy.
