Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system

[teaboot]

(Average Metropolis reader after investigative reporter C. Kent's 452nd article on yet another case of landlords/business owners/factories' continued use of lead pipes/paint/gas/glass knowingly exposing the public to dangerously toxic lead levels) what the fuck happened to this guy

[teaboot]

One day Bruce Wayne mentions in an interview that heroes like Superman are overrated, as the most effective way to reduce crime is to provide public resources and improve local infrastructure, then cites how neighboring city Metropolis has effectively lowered their violent crime by 13% after addressing their outdated water system and investing low income housing. the reporter conducting the interview suddenly starts looking a little uncomfortable

[teaboot]

To be clear, Clark is still a fantastic investigative reporter. He still has to track down the sources to prove all this shit

[teaboot]

"Who, Clark Kent? Yeah, we're pretty sure he's a Meta. Is he a superhero? Like what, "Lead-detector guy"? "Captain pipes?" Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and it's a handy trick, but it's lead detection, not laser vision. He's not about to go running around in tights any time soon."

I just love the idea of a cape maintaining their secret identity by pretending to be a completely different and less impressive kind of parahuman.

[roach-works]

everyone assumes that kent is so squirrely around superheros because he’s just desperately hoping not to be conscripted to the JLA to fix their plumbing

They tried to get superman to present the medal but he was offended at being called "overrated" in comparison to Clark so he declined

12 years ago I made a vine that went viral on social media with my then 1 year old cat… and after many requests over the years, it's time to do a follow up!

So here we are! Yama the cat and Kdin the human 12 years later. Yama is still the same, and I've uh… changed a lot!

MY FRIEND IS FINDING OUT THAT HES COLORBLIND AND WE’RE ALL HELPING HIM THROUGH IT LMAOOOOOO

[yurimom]

[yurimom]

UPDATE WE HAVE TWO COLORBLIND BITCHEZ IN THE SERVER

[yurimom]

what the fuck is going on

[alwaysabeautifullife]

On the last one Deuteranomaly and Protanomaly are identical though

[azzandra]

What I’m getting from this is that there are a lot more colorblind people in the world than even colorblind people know.

[waywardmorgann-deactivated20240]

WAIT! DEUTERANOMALY AND PROTANOMALY IS THE SAME! IT’S THE FUCKING SAME! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?????

[audliminal]

The deuteranomaly and protanomaly ones are very similar but they are different. The purple section ranges out a little farther to the right in the protanomaly one. Not seeing the difference between might not indicate color blindness but rather difficulty with color differentiation.

[sanctuaryforalluniverses]

The green is also slightly more vivid in the protanomaly strip than it is in the deuteranomaly one.

[ninahufflepuff]

@skeletal-spire-man-aka-overfit

um

these are not the same

[skeletal-spire-man]

They’re… They’re identical…

What’s… What’s the difference-?

[i-put-the-hyper-in-hyperfixated]

welp. one of the moots has tritanomaly colour blindness!

[finicillium]

I’m not colourblind, but like, on the last one, deuteranomaly and protanomaly are identical to eachother- so are protanopia and deuteranopia-

[naviofortido]

They aren’t different?

[monsterblogging]

I think in general, modern fantasy authors need to grapple with the fact that a lot of myths and folklore about monsters were informed by human experiences with nature, and that they originated in a time when nature was a lot more dangerous to us than it is now. Today, we have the capacity to be a lot more harmful to nature than vice-versa. This should mean that the swamp dragons that were a menace to us a thousand years ago are dying as we destroy their habitats. The snow spirits that would snack on us if we got caught in their hunting grounds are dying as the world grows hotter.

If you just move all of these nature-inspired figures into the modern world without accounting for the ways we've been injuring nature, you kinda end up with an implicitly anti-nature narrative. Now, I think you can write narratives where certain monsters become more dangerous because our actions have made them so - it would be appropriate for storm and fire monsters to get a boost, for example. But at the same time? You'd also need to acknowledge that they've become this way because of our actions, and it's still on us to take responsibility for what we've done.
