Or we'll say it's because the actor they want to play him happens to be black. So that brings us back to why that's a problem for some?


Because they want Superman to be white like he's been for the majority of mainstream media? I thought that was obvious...

The post stated the only reason to make Superman black was for pointless diversity and had no artistic merit. I explained why that was not so. There's no artistic merit to keeping him white so, if they found an ethnic actor who could portray the character, then there's nothing inherent in Superman's story that precludes him being a POC.

Instead of asking why Superman can't be black, ask yourself why he should be. There's no reason besides pointless diversity with no actual artistic purpose or value.


They want to say "To give black actors better opportunities" like they did in the Ciri topic

But then they realize that it will go to Michael B Jordan and how fucking dumb that sounds.

Look at Serena Williams. Quite a few people have sided with her.

If things don't go your way, you can just play the #metoo card.

Why is McEnroe being thrown into this. He's been done for a good while and was fined and suspended plenty of times.

Also, kinda funny how "what about" is totally fine on the liberal side, but a conservative tries to do it and holy shit is that awful.

He's being brought into this due to the claims of sexism, which is Serena's issue. How he has acted and was treated is directly related to the idea of a double standard. That's not whataboutism.

So somebody that was fined and suspended 20 years ago was treated better than someone that was fined a couple days ago?

You all are doing whataboutism. Has absolutely nothing to do with the situation at all. Your perfect people can't do anything wrong and every single time something comes up it's always "well this other person did something bad."

This shit is just too funny.

Yes it would matter since the point would be proving a pattern of sexist behavior. Therefore, prior examples of men not being penalized like this does matter. I mean, there have been more recent examples but including past examples still isn't whataboutism. You're using the term wrong and taking a very simplistic view of things. But do you.

Yup, he did. And hit a lot of trees on the way down, too.

I totally forgot about that. Granted.

What's an example of Gammora's super strength though?

Same movie, she lifted that big gun that was mounted on Nebula's ship and used it to shoot at her.

That was a pretty big gun. And she just hoists it on to her shoulder. Point conceded.

Now you're gonna go watch it again, aren't you? Lol

Spidey's biggest issue is experience right now. Guys like Cap and Starlord know how to outsmart him.

Once he has that he'll be bumped up. He's nowhere near his prime.

So this is about formidability, not power level necessarily?

I'd put Scarlet Witch higher. She literally destroyed an infinity stone


That was played off more as a "resonance" thing given the origin of her powers, and less as an actual feat of strength.

She also held off Thanos. And, next to Thor, she was pretty much the MVP of the movie (And Civil War, too.)

Drax and Gammora are just highly trained humanoids.The only thing they have going for them is experience, and Cap brings that with some light super strength and super reflexes Spider Man is much stronger and faster than all of them with combat clairvoyance on top of that making up for a lot of his lack of experience.


Drax and Gamora both have super strength

And a higher durability/damage soak than Cap. But Spidey should be on their level.

And War Machine should definitely be moved up a level, imo.

No they're not. He still had no duty to comply, so it's still not a mitigating circumstance. It's still manslaughter.

They aren't going with the "He should've complied" defense. They're going for the "She feared for her life" defense.

One can have a baby

Not all CIS women can have children. While TC is 100% wrong, your example isn't really the best.


I guess a better way to say it is that cis women have the capacity to give birth regardless of if they can or not because they are built with the working parts. I dunno how far science is going to go but a trans woman doesn't have the space for the baby and even if they do the natural chemicals that regulate pregnancy and childbirth such as HCG is going to be needed in high amounts to work.

Much better!

he fact that she was accusing the ref of being sexist... while her opponent was also female

I don't understand why people keep bringing this up, it has absolutely nothing to do with Serena's argument. She has never once implied that this is the reason she lost or that Osaka deserved any sort of punishment.

I'm not even fully on her side in this, but people really misconstrue the situation. You may argue that she's only making a big deal of it because she lost (which I would disagree with; knowing Serena, we'd be hearing plenty about this even if she came back and won), but her issue is over her perceived treatment vs the treatment of male players.

The same reason people misconstrue why players kneel (from disrespecting the troops to saying the players don't even know why they're kneeling.) It's because they don't want to actually address the issue at hand and want to be "right," even if what they're "right" about isn't the point of the initial argument.

because people are pissed the gay one is not gay enough

Then you have people who would complain that they're losing out on representation. This is a vocal minority ofthe lGBT community. All groups tend to have "gate keepers" who feel that one has to do certain things/be a certain way to TRULY belong to their group. Best to ignore them.
