Alan Moore now says the KKK were the original superheroes and all capeshit is inherently racist, yet his magnum opus was a story about two white guys, a white girl and a blue guy that used to be white investigating why a gay white guy killed an old white guy
Is Alan Moore right?

He got that post from Zig Forums
But he's partly right

Alan Moore is a whiny faggot and Watchmen was just okay. There I said it.

Don’t talk that way

Alan Moore isn't the first guy to relate superheroes to white supremacy, neither the last
Jose Ross
that's not what he said at all
and you've tried to back it up by pointing out that his story which was based on 1940s-style superheroes is full of white people investigating white people problems
I notice you ignored the prominent bit with the black kid, but you probably didn't read it on the way through anyway, and it wasn't in the movie so how would you know about it? which kind of proves his point about the origins of superheroes being in white power fantasies that automatically exclude non-whites in almost every case
which is why Superman, a character from outer space, looks conveniently like one of the smaller minorities of the human species *and* manages to land in a territory dominated by them, which is like hitting the moon with your jizz it's so unlikely

No.

Pretty sure Paul Revere and Christopher Columbus being mythologized like Hellenistic Greek heroes makes them the first.

So just to get this straight, you’re saying Superman’s creators are white supremacists because they made him white and had him grow up in a white area? Does this standard only apply to white characters? Say you have a black character that grows up in a black area is that black supremacy? I don’t get you. Yes majority of superheroes in American comics over the decades have been white. It’s a majority white country it’s to be expected. I would expect majority black country to put mostly white people in their media either. It doesn’t make them supremacists.
Hunter Phillips
He's not wrong. Watch Birth of a Nation.
Brayden Gutierrez
Could be just his take on superheroes, he has made distinction between the ubersmench (superman) and the detective (batman). He may be onto something.
Gabriel Nelson
Well the KKK started out as a group that tried to protect the south from the norths abuse of power, so ya I guess they can be considered sueprheroes.
Cameron Brooks
Haven’t watched the movie. Could you explain to me the connection between this movie and DC/ Marvel superheroes?
Levi Long
The KKK was started by Confederate veterans who wanted to keep as much as the 'old order' as possible.
Anthony Ross
Shouldn't you be pozzing other people with your #LiberateMichigan nonsense and Covid infection?

Fuck
Tyler Torres
Right
Mason Jones
Right about the whiteness. Capeshit is very white and it does not have any non white established series, whereas manga has had a lot of non Japanese popular series. Its a dated genre anyway.
Blake Nguyen
Absolutely this. Because we know that if the roles were reversed that blacks in a majority black nation would make sure to make 50% of their characters white. Yep, that’s just reality.
Ayden Clark
>manga has had a lot of non Japanese popular series
Such as? It’s like you’re living in bizarro world, Japanese people and manga are known for being notoriously racist.
Brayden Watson
That is wrong. Superheroes exist since Robin Hood, the Scarlet Pimpernell, Zorro.
Even you can say Gilgamesh, Hercules, Odysseus, Achilles are the very first remembered superheroes.
Jayden Peterson
I can't be fucked to check your source, but the statement itself is utter horseshit.
To say that capeshit is inherently racist because the KKK were the original superheroes (a statement which makes be smash the doubt button because vigilante heroes existed prior to the KKK, and masked figures I'm sure were nothing new in the 20th century) is saying that the Nazis were Hinduists because they use the swastika (the right-facing one being used by Hindus).

Jojo, Parts 1-2 and 7 have British protagonists and while every other part has Japanese protagonists they are not pure blooded.
Jason Baker
Dragon Ball.
Jack Clark
He’s just shitposting. He fucking loves Kirby and Ditko.
Further a lot of silver and golden age creators were jews.
