Comic Confessions: While I am not the "political" type. I do sometimes slip my virtues and ethics into my writing, but I try my best to not be in your face and do so tasteful. For instance, Cupcake War Machine was meant to have pro-adoption and pro-life themes.

A Little Quote from Man of Steel

Now, I know that Man of Steel has gotten a lot of controversy, especially from people who grew up with the Christopher Reeve movies, but personally, I really liked it. I thought it had just the right amount of darkness and suspense to actually make me concerned. But, most importantly, it showed a wonderful relationship between an adopted child and his parents. I am, of course, referring to the scenes were Clark is with his adoptive parents, Martha and Johnathan Kent, specifically this conversation after Johnathan tells Clark about how they found him, and that he's not human:

Clark: *Clearly trying not to cry* "Can't I just keep pretending I'm your son?"

Johnathan: *Hugs Clark* "You are my son."

Those two lines made me choke up from the moment I heard them in the trailer. It just felt so natural and emotional. I always felt like it was a wonderful example of how many adoptive families might feel once the child is old enough to know they were adopted/know what being adopted means. I wouldn't be surprised if some adopted children, at least subconsciously, feel like they're playing pretend, that they aren't really their parents' child. And, like Johnathan in this scene, the parents are saddened to hear their children say anything like that. Because whether they're related by blood or not, their adoptive children are their "real" children, and nothing could change how much they love them.

Okay I just gotta say something because the 'abortion debate' has for some reason been at the forefront of my life lately, and I don't want to rant on Facebook because there are actual people there who I actually discuss current topics with and who I don't want to continuously feel compelled to respond to my pro-choice dribblings because they are busy with real life. But today I was surfin' the net, as one does, and came across some 'pro-life' Tumblrs. And if there is one thing that gets to me about 'pro-life' lingo, it's that they constantly refer to abortion as any of these: holocaust/genocide/infanticide. To keep it short I'm just gonna point out, FYI, that the holocaust is completely incomparable to abortion because it was the systematic extermination of all Jewish people. It specifically refers to WWII and like, even to me, not a Jew, it is offensive to compare a huge, deliberate massacre of an entire people-group who are still dealing with further political and social repercussions of the ~actual holocaust~ to something that is NOT the holocaust!!!!! Like, it's not even close.  The holocaust was, in fact, a genocide. Again, incomparable to abortion because genocide is the aim to destroy an entire race, religious group, nation, etc.  And lastly, infanticide even in it's name dispels any connection to abortion, as it is in regard to ~infants~. Pro-choice people don't just like think all babies should die. We don't walk around hospitals with signs saying 'Don't have babies, Kill all Fetuses." I'm so mad all the time. Shit there are so many THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
