Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Super heroes will not save us from this shit. Not ever. (Even if they weren't fictional.)

Super heroes exist to defend the (neoliberal) status quo.

Or a general strike organized by labor and student unions

So a rich guy who can put on a mask and beat up the poor while advancing the arms race with criminals becoming more unhinged or a guy whose family was murdered and starts turning to vigilante justice and became what every cop wet dreams that they actually are?

....Sure. That'll help. /s
