Superman is now a Latinx migrant, studio CEO claims Deplorables who ask questions are ‘not American’

Via Deadline (emphasis added):

Long established as an allegory for the immigrant experience, especially when viewed through the personal histories of Superman‘s comic book co-creators — second-generation Jewish immigrants Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster — DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn said his forthcoming film entry of Kal-El keeps in tune with the original 1938-created vision.

“I mean, Superman is the story of America,” the Superman helmer told The Times U.K. in a new profile. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”…

When asked how the blockbuster may be perceived in predominantly red versus blue states, especially amid prevailing anti-immigrant and refugee sentiment, Gunn responded, “Yes, it plays differently, but it’s about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them.”

If you think it’s kind of weird and borderline blasphemous that Superman, whose name is Clark Kent, is now a Latinx immigrant, “you’re not American.”

Prediction: The movie is going to flop spectacularly, both because its creators spit in the eye of half of the audience they were supposed to be appealing to and because the movie will suck on its own merits irrespective of its Social Justice™ bent, and subsequently white racists in flyover country will be blamed for not supporting the first Latinx Superman hard enough.

Look at those eyes; I would bet every dollar I have that this individual is on not just one but multiple psychotropic pharmaceutical medications.

This isn’t just what institutionalized race hate has done; it’s what it’s done in tandem with the drug industry.

“More white people will have to die in order for motherf*ckers to care,” she deadpans into the camera. “Be okay with not finding Sarah Lou. Be okay with not finding Billy.”

U.N. plows ahead with ‘LGBTQ rights’ advocacy research following U.S. pullout

Whereas the Trump administration has extricated itself from the efforts of the UN “Human Rights Council” to continually invent more and more rights by uncovering more and more alleged “abuses” of the LGBTQ “community,” the Council, in its infinite wisdom, vowed to persevere.

Via NBC News (emphasis added):

The U.N. Human Rights Council voted on Monday to renew the mandate of an LGBTQ rights expert, a move welcomed by advocates amid the absence of the United States, a former key supporter that is now rolling back such protections.

Western diplomats had previously voiced concerns about the renewal of the mandate of South African scholar Graeme Reid who helps to boost protections by documenting abuses* and through dialogue with countries.

The motion for a three-year renewal passed with 29 votes in favor, 15 against and three abstentions. Supporters included Chile, Germany, Kenya and South Africa while several African nations and Qatar opposed it.

The renewal of this mandate is a spark of hope in a time when reactionary powers worldwide are trying to dismantle progress that our communities fought so hard to achieve,” said Julia Ehrt, executive director of campaign group ILGA World.

*The category of LGBTQ “abuses,” presumably, includes such hate crimes as “misgendering” in which a transgender's chosen gender (which can change day-to-day or even hour-to-hour in the case of the “gender-fluid”) is not properly affirmed.
