red hood had no politics his politics was beefing with his father which is much more typical of a 19 year old boy
I should realyl get back on my comics reading shit i havent in a while. i miss rogue and gambit
i love gambit bc when people ask him what’s wrong he’s just like “Ain’t nothin wrong with gambit.” and then the text boxes on the side would be like “gambit all alone in this world. gambit ain’t neva gone be loved.”
(pa kent giving The Talk voice) see when a bull and a cow love each other very much, that’s how a calf is born [remembers his son came from space] of course if the bull comes from another farm, the cow might not end up taking, but that’s alright [remembers clark might be gay] sometimes bulls also love other bulls [remembers clark is an alien again] but if the bull is from another farm, he might have a calf if he fools around with bulls from here so he should be careful.
I'm watching Thuperman

Jimmy olsen in this movie like Someone would be willing to send me documents that would take down the most evil man in the country and stop world war whatever But i have to spend the weekend with a beautiful woman?!?!?! I DUNNOOOOO...!!!!!!!! What are you fucking gay?
Look, there’s a reason people don’t like Tom King, I get it, but it’s fucking HILARIOUS to be called a ‘racist grandma’ for pointing out Tom King is still reacting to the Iraq War, because it was a enormous deal for him, and he’s probably going to still be reacting to it until the day he dies.
Incredible how some people are quite happy to dress things up in therapy speak, but not willing to give any energy to ‘hey King’s job was very traumatic and he’s still processing that’.
You can not like it, you can not want to read it, but it’s a perfectly reasonable response to his situation and there is a huge cohort of people who understand where he’s coming from.
Oh no! Was the violent white man traumatised by his active and willing participation in war crimes? Was the racist monster traumatised by what he claims is his greatest accomplishment? how sad! Let's immediately ignore the fact he's an evil war criminal because you personally inferred that he's sad from a comic he wrote while actively ignoring the fact that he's touted his war criminal past as "the greatest accomplishment" of his life.
Honestly, I really hope that you never ever have to deal with the aftermath of how working for highly stressful jobs including police forces, military and security agencies affects, traumatises and changes people.
You absolutely don’t have to agree with (and indeed can violently disagree with) what people have done to still have empathy for them. I guess one of the things my own life experience to date has taught me is that being compassionate towards even people who you think have made terrible damaging decisions that have led to harm to themselves and others has benefits.
It is of course also your right not to get yourself tangled up in this and have an ethical strict line that you don’t cross.
But if so I sincerely hope for your own sake that that you never find yourself in a position where you have to wrestle with this stuff in the course of your work or about someone that you know.
Going to regret this when people come whaling at me, but:
Tom King has been writing for DC Comics for longer than he worked for the CIA at this point.
I, personally, am a big fan of people realizing they did something awful and attempting to atone for that. King has pretty clearly changed his mind about the US military given the way his Wonder Woman reads.
If you do not show compassion towards veterans, if you treat them as inhuman monsters, you will never get anything done. You will drive them right back to the military (which has a high recidivism rate, wonder why that is) and towards conservative groups which practice performative compassion in order to recruit them. Trust me when I say you are not helping your cause.
Tom King has built his comics career on bragging about his participation in the Iraq invasion. He has bragged about submitting his comic book scripts to the CIA for approval. His years of this very cushy comic book job have been his reward for participating in the Iraq invasion.
Tom King is a real-life white American man who invaded Iraq to punish Arabs for a crime that they didn't commit and he didn't suffer. You can't make up the impact of this real-life adult man based on your wishful headcanons for his racist, bootlicking superhero comics.
What is "our" cause? How do we help our cause by giving up our basic human dignity? Is our cause to coddle people who hate us? What is your cause? Doesn't it sound like you're the one offering perfomative compassion right now?
Excerpts from the foreword of the recent graphic novel The Flavors of Iraq by Feirat Alani and Léonard Cohen:
Since I got out of the Marine Corps in 2006, I felt I owed a moral debt to Iraqis, and to the city of Fallujah in particular. Though it still stings to admit it, I was part of the assault force that laid siege to Fallujah in late 2004. Over the course of a month, we turned the entire city to rubble and left an estimated 4,000–6,000 civilians dead in our wake. I know the damage can’t be undone, nor the debt repaid. But as an acknowledgment of wrongdoing and a gesture of remorse, I committed myself to campaigning for withdrawal and reparations.
[...] Over the last twenty years, the story of the invasion and occupation has been told almost exclusively from an American perspective that is so full of myth and omission that the entire collection of novels, films, memoirs, and journalistic accounts belongs in the fantasy genre. Not only are they historically inaccurate across the board, but they also share a common narrative form. American soldiers are the protagonists of these stories. To the extent that Iraqis are included at all, it is either as victims or villains; and, in either case, the need for Americans to save the day is implicit. According to this narrative, the invasion is not an act of aggression but an attempted liberation gone wrong.
[...] If Iraq through American eyes seems more the product of wishful thinking than reality, it’s because the framing, omissions, and narrative tropes that have characterized much of the fiction and nonfiction on Iraq have flowed downstream from US military propaganda. One of the lesser-known aspects of Operation Iraqi Freedom is that the way the story was told—the controlled perspective, the characterization of the actors involved, the focus on strategic themes, the tactical use of language—was as much a part of the battle plan as was the use of bombs and infantry. New trends in strategic thinking at the turn of the millennium gave propaganda a more prominent role in American military operations during the global war on terror.
Soft power, it was believed, would allow the military to win the hearts and minds of Iraqis, reducing the need for deadly force. It didn’t actually work out that way. But the fact that our propaganda operations remain a lesser-known aspect of the war speaks to their success in constructing a popular (mis)understanding of the conflict that has been reproduced again and again in American pop culture.
[...] From The Hurt Locker (2008) to American Sniper (2014) and The Yellow Birds (2012), American pop culture has followed the model set by US information operations, pumping out story after story told through the familiar gaze of the American soldier. No matter that the invasion was a war crime. No matter that over a million Iraqis died in the course of the occupation. All ethical questions about the mission are, at most, a secondary plotline. And Iraq and Iraqis are just a setting in these stories about American soldiers and their struggles to heal the wounds of war.
That foreword was written by Ross Caputi, former U.S. marine, current anti-war activist. Not every veteran can do what Caputi does, but every storyteller can choose whether to use his platform for Iraqis, or to use Iraqis as his platform. And the people Caputi hurt still don't owe him forgiveness, or anything else.
Isn't it disturbing how Caputi's position—white, American, and a veteran of invasion—is leveraged to add credibility in a French Iraqi journalist's personal account of his own family's lives in Iraq?

This panel of Charles looks like when DC animations make Lex Luther look biracial. I'm kind of obsessed with it.
