I’ve never understood why Mr Freeze was a villain. aside from the times I’ve seen him gang up with other more obvious bad guys it’s always to do more research to cure his wife, and that’s all I can think of him doing outside the times he makes bad business deals with aforementioned baddies.

like Jesus batman just beat up all the nerd widowers why don’t ya

he steals scientific and medical equipment to solve his wife's incurable disease, thats it

Jesus christ it’s like you’re begging for a swirlie

Absolutely. But I took the class to learn how not to be an rear end in a top hat and didn't care about the actual exam, and since I was into comic books at the time, it seemed easy. And it did make me (and everyone I bothered to tell about it) think about what a lovely role model Batman actually is, which, in a small way, was a way challenge the narrative of considering anyone who falls outside the norm bad and wrong.

I actually think that teaching that sort of critical reading is very important in general, even if any specific academic paper on the topic will sound (and be) ridiculous.

Anyway, meet me at the bathrooms in 15 minutes so you can dunk my head in the toilet.

I hated all the pop-culture freaks in my gender studies classes, the loudest and most annoying people. I wrote my final paper on the culture of trans women having several distinct generations on the internet. Because I actually studied gender instead of supermanology.

Why talk about real people and their real, impactful experiences when you can talk about how the riddler is genderqueer

It's what the question mark theme is all about, that's the riddler's choice symbol for expressing their gender

That would require I stop watching TV. They figured out a way to parlay their extensive experience in media consumption into a degree.

And that will help immensely in their future of getting on twitter to say "TV show is problematic, cancel", which I'm told is praxis.

I wrote my final gender studies paper on a Batman comic (Killing Joke). Pretty dumb, but the point is that Batman, aside from being a billionaire vigilante, is basically a repressed neurodivergent who does everything in his power to conform to society and make others do the same. He's pretty terrible. The Joker on the other hand is gently caress-you-queer and cool (aside from the murdering)

I'm an idiot, but HMMMMM could it be the billionaire Waynes are responsible for creating the material conditions for Bruce's parents to get killed by destitute people

No you see, the Waynes were philanthropists and tried to be a force of good in the city. Yes

Anyway, not all superheroes are liberals, some are straight up fascist. Judge Dredd is the best example, but Superman is pretty straight fascist Ubermensch.
Iron Man was created specifically to troll hippies by making him a billionaire arms dealer.

Super long article about garment industry fuckery in Central America and the Caribbean:

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/jan/25/behind-the-label-how-the-us-stitched-up-the-honduras-garment-industry

Tl, dr: people used to wear clothes made in their home countries by companies headquartered in their home countries. Now clothes are made by desperate serfs employed by faceless multinational conglomerates in stateless zones where no laws apply and no taxes are charged. But they are cheaper than ever before!
