Superman: antithetical to the LGBT ideaology.
(Thread) #Superman
This thread is a bit of a sequel to my last thread. In the last thread I talked a bit about the LGBT ideaology and why that ideaology doesn’t mix with superheroes. To sum it up real quick, it’s an ideaology that has its members unsure of who they are, leaving them insecure-
Seeking to find validation and acceptance wherever they can find it. Whether it be guilting people or forcing them into giving it to them. An ideaology that gets rid of selflessness and sacrifice in favor of the selfish pursuits.-
Which now leads into the heart of what I want to talk about. Superman flies against that selfish ideaology. His journey is in finding out where his power and strength are needed. And out of all the characters in comics, he’s very secure in who he is. He doesn’t-
Need validation of those around him nor does he need acceptance from his peers to feel secured in his perception of himself. He knows who he is. And he knows his purpose in life. In fact he not only doesn’t need those things, but he actively sacrifices those things all so he-
Can fulfill his purpose in life. Because it’s his purpose that’s what truly makes him happy. The fulfillment of his mission. That sacrifice comes from the disguise of Clark Kent himself. Now before I continue I’m aware of the two interpretations of Clark Kent, in where -
One, We have Clark Kent the Everyman, in where Clark Kent is who he is, and Superman is what he can do. But for my heroic example I lean towards the interpretation in where Clark is the disguise, so Superman can fulfill his duty. With this persona, it’s a front to ensure that-
No one will get too close to him. To prevent a scenario where they either become targets for his enemies, or they get too close to the point they find out who he is. The disguise is an act where isolation is his goal. As a result, he’s mocked and gets left out-
On a daily basis. It may be lonely, but that’s his intention, and it’s a very noble sacrifice on his part. Because if he were a character written by the LGBT ideaology, he’d either use his powers to get revenge on those who belittle him, or use his powers to gain acceptance-
And as a consequence of trying to please the shallow, it would cost him his focus and energies of being Superman. But again, in this scenario, he’s written by the LGBT, so there would be no consequence in that. There’s also a moment in the story of Superman birthright-
In where Lex Luther fabricates an alien invasion that recognizes Superman as thier leader. All in an attempt to frame Superman and turn the people he swore to protect against him. Now If the ideaology was writing him, he’d be depressed and moping about how it’s not fair in how-
He’s being wronged, or he would try to find a way to get petty revenge on Lex Luthor. But in the story, he doesn’t do any of that. Instead, he does as he’s always done as this invasion happens. Serve and protect the people. And that proves to play big in his favor-
As the people that Lex tried to turn against him, March forward to defend him as his actions have displayed the truth of who he really is. A hero. This is something that’s at the core of Superman that the ideaology need to take a few notes from. Because people that subscribe to-
LGBT ideaology are often encouraged to pursue fickle praise and validation, or petty revenge. And in the process they end up squandering the talents they have. I’m reminded of Superman the movie, in where pa Kent, and Clark have thier famous heart to heart, and I’ll end this-
Thread on this note and I’ll rephrase it a bit to make it a bit more relatable to what I’m talking about. “ listen, I know that you have something about yourself that you think you’ll just go nuts over if you can’t just shout it from the rooftops. But listen, you’re here for-
A reason. I don’t know what reason, or who’s reason. But you have a destiny out there, and I can almost guarantee that it’s gonna be great. But that’s gonna depend entirely on you, because you can’t squander what you have on getting petty. Otherwise you’ll live your life-
This is a real problem with story telling that really speaks to the insecurities of our current culture. We live in a society that constantly wants to not only do whatever they want, but be cheered on as they do it. It’s a culture full of people that has grown too narcissistic-
Too self involved, and let’s be honest, too prideful to look beyond themselves. And it’s unfortunate that these are the people who are in charge of writing our heroes. Because in all honesty they aren’t writing our heroes, but rather themselves masquerading as our heroes-
