>>103933914Well that's the problem isn't it.
It works in a comic book because WW, Superman and all the rest are superheroic.
But in real life such rhetoric is often false or at least delusional.
Everyone knows there are many who will falsely claim they love you and want the best for you.
But they do not understand or care to understand and so they can not really love you and want the best for you but only want the best for a figment of their imagination.
And that's in the best case.
In the worst case they are simply power hungry frauds or those who would self-delude themselves about their own motives.
I find a lot of media is quite naturally made by or reflects the ideals of powerful, successful and happy people and it quite often betrays a real lack of familiarity with isolation and pain.
The viewpoints of the really worst off just simply don't make it to print because they don't have the connections or talent or help from community and family to make it.
And sadly subversive countercultural movements like punk music are not really much better either.
They are either edgy trash, too sharply defined as being strictly oppositional to tradition or become coopted as the new dominant culture of the successful.
Unfortunately for a feminist superhero WW comics just don't show a good understanding of male pain.
This is a very good WW story but I would still like to see the topic approached some time.
