New rule: anyone who earnestly called for OSC to get fired from Superman has to sit and think about that for a few minutes before they tweet all pissed off about the guy Marvel just canned.

Only if you think tone is more important than content.

Deplatforming is good. Getting people fired is not. It isn't about content.

I think the distinction between “deplatforming” and “getting fired” when the person in question is a writer or something like that is pretty grey area. The consequences of firing are a result of capitalism, and complicate the issue, obviously.

I don't think fiction, especially for-hire genre stuff in a popular series, is anything like a platform.

Fiction has the potential to be the absolute largest platform, though. Even if most of the time it isn’t. Look at the reactions to The Last Jedi or Wonder Woman or Harry Potter. Pop culture is the dominant form of cultural subversion. Especially anything targeted to kids.

That’s why the regressive are so fixated on it. They know it shapes our cultural subconscious.

the thing is, i think you're right, and that that's why we need to not do what you want i think the risk involved in deciding that we have finished figuring out what it's permissible to imagine is much, much greater than the risk that OSC will make Superman anti-gay propaganda
