I remember there were complaints about white kids dressing up as Maui back when Moana was a big thing.

So while I'd personally say no, you'll still get shit for it.

I'm sure some dumb fuck would get offended if you dressed up as a navy seal, or any other special forces outfit, with night face camo.

Fuck em. Context matters, and of course some people won't see context.

You probably knew that he was referring to Clark Kent superman, as that's who most people think about when they envision superman. Come on.

Be sure you clear which version of each character you're referring to before some smartass critiques it, knowing full well who you meant.

It's just an exaggeration. It's highlighting extreme views that the creator probably saw once or twice in some rando twitter post, and piecing them all together to form the chart.

The creator of the chart could be racist, or maybe they just saw those views as extremely ridiculous. Or, maybe it's just someone making fun of people who actually think this chart is legit.
