MODERATORS
Superman comes from a position of absurd privilege wherein he can do whatever he wants without risk to himself, and can put on a pair of glasses to become anonymous afterwards.
Everyone else has occasionally consider a compromise between what they think is right and what is pragmatic or necessary.
Superman is an ideal to strive for, not a model to emulate. Ideals are goals and guides. But pragmatism and necessity still factors into decision making
Superman taught us to use the privilege we have to help those that don't.
and that's not at all condescending and dehumanizing to those we want to 'help'...
also one of the historical justifications for colonialism. we need to colonize you to help you because we are privileged and you are not, let us 'raise you up'... and that went over so well...
It's not condescending or dehumanizing to recognize that some of us are less oppressed than others.
You're right for history, although it's pretty obvious superman wouldn't be OK with twisting words like that.
it's not about twisting words.
it's about how good intentions often lead to shitty consequences for those subjected to the 'good' imposed on them.
You don't get to determine what is good for other people. They get to determine that.
Yea, and superman should be smart enough to understand that. They touch on it plenty of times in various stories. Of course the quality varies based on the writers' understanding of self-determination, but it is a topic well addressed by Superman.
My personal compromise is that I wear my underwear on the outside, but I don't do any of the other stuff Superman does.
Your underwear's not on the outside if you aren't wearing anything else at all
Technically if it’s on the outside it’s overwear!
Same here. Except I wear boxers and slacks.
This doesn't invalidate the idea of doing the right thing just because it's right when you can.
I wouldn't call 'being the only one who can take the call when Darkseid rolls up' privilege.
