What's up with the sudden Superman hate?

Summary:

If you haven't already seen the new clip of Superman's parents, what are you even doing? Watch that and head back.

Alright, now that we're all caught up, what's up with the sudden Superman hate? We've always had the #supershit idiots, but after Luthor leaked that video of Superman's parents everything just completely escalated. Which is kinda insane to me.

 

or: a reaction from r/metahuman with commentary by Luthor

Notes:

This work contains spoilers for Superman!

I own nothing, this is a tribute to this wonderful movie and I absolutely think this Lex would vent on Reddit about Superman.

Advice by the Author: Please take 3 minutes to read "My (M35) rival (M?) just destroyed my office" so this makes a bit more sense. No requirement, but advised :)

Please excuse the horrid HTML formatting

What's up with the sudden Superman hate?

If you haven't already seen the new clip of Superman's parents, what are you even doing? Watch that and head back.

Alright, now that we're all caught up, what's up with the sudden Superman hate? We've always had the #supershit idiots, but after Luthor leaked that video of Superman's parents everything just completely escalated. Which is kinda insane to me.

I mean, even if, if, that video is actually true, who's to say Superman ever listened to his parents? Cause so far he's only been saving people all over. Hell, he even stopped a war a couple days ago, I feel like we're all forgetting this! If his rebellious teenage phase is stopping wars, I'm certainly not gonna condemn him for it, you know?

Also, this new hate against Superman and people who are "more" is really making me scared. I mean, what does this mean for all the other metahumans out there? If a single video of questionable source (didn't Luthor break into Superman's home to get this??? I feel like that can't have been legal) can condemn a person this easily, who's to say this won't happen to other people as well? Especially other metahumans.

Gotta be honest with you all, I'm kinda scared what this means for all of us. There's countries at the brink of a war and the only one who's trying to stop them is getting dragged through the worst mudslinging I've seen online in years. What kinda chance do other metahumans -- or even regular people -- have, if even Superman isn't safe?

I know I will get down voted to hell for this, but I just needed to get this off my chest. Let me know what you guys think about this! As I said, this just feels super random and out of nowhere :(

Superman sucks and now the whole world knows it, what's there to complain about?

u/soupisbetterthancheese • 19 h

Uhm, how about thee implications for all the other metahumans, if nothing else??

u/stringcheeseissuperior

Man, not only do you have wrong opinions about cheese, you also ignore obvious dangers to modern society, wow

Do you honestly think it's okay for a single guy to involve himself in politics like he did in Boravia? If nothing else, that should be enough to critique him. But to top all of that off, he's apparently here to take over the world. Look at the facts: he's here to take over the world, he's almost undefeated and he has no problems involving himself in regional politics.

You're really worrying about the wrong stuff here, OP

UPDATE: I can't edit my post, but what's up with that new video of Superman confronting Luthor in his office? Like... this is not only confirmation that Luthor broke into Superman's home (absolutely insane and kinda illegal) but apparently he stole Superman's dog? This is getting more absurd by the second, I swear

u/throwawayy_5395 • 5 h

Why are you focusing on Luthor possibly breaking into Superman's home (only Superman's word for this) and not on the very real video evidence of Superman breaking into Luthor's office and assaulting him? I feel like one of these is the bigger issue

u/typing_monkey_9962 • 4 h

definitely! superman sucks!

"super random"? Get out from under that rock you've been living under. Supershit has had this coming for a long time and it's about time that people spoke up against this unnatural freak

Man, these comments are depressing.

I grew up with parents who sounded a lot like Superman's did. "You're better, cause you're white" and all that shit. And you can bet my teenage years were ugly because of those believes. But you can be more than what your parents want you to be! Just imagine everyone in the world judged you based on a couple sentences your parents told you when you were a baby. That's just fucked up.

Thanks for sharing this, OP, I was about to write up something myself!

OP • u/frustratedcucumber • 11 h

Exactly this! Just ugh

u/homosexualdisease_9460 • 10 h

lmao supershit bootlicker hows that red leather taste

u/sstandsforhope • 9 h

Thank you for sharing this. I agree with it. Superman has never acted like that message implies and he looked pretty shocked to see that video. Almost like he didn't know it, just look at his reaction halfway through

u/canitbatman_7316 • 6 h

Omg, can't believe I didn't see that before. The confusion and hurt on his face! Poor baby!

u/hawksarebetterthanfalcons3 • 18 h

As a metahuman myself I'm highly concerned about this whole situation. If Superman is guilty this would be a massive blow to the whole community
