I’m not going to lie. One of my old reddit accounts had 88 in its username. Not because of malicious reasons though. It was a random number I came up with since the username I wanted was already taken. I got banned from r/comicbooks for that despite proof that I was NOT connected with any racist content.
I caught a ban from there for talking about alien ethnicity.
There’s some cover depicting the 616 Justice League opposite their equivalents from another Earth. The Doylist view is: how these characters look is arbitrary. All changes are an excuse for costume edits and better representation. But in-universe, these are not characters. They’re people with backstories. And some of those backstories make the changes a head-scratcher. Green Lantern, nah, he’s just a guy. Could be anyone. Wonder Woman, Themyscira’s basically Cyprus, of course Amazons could look African.
But Superman’s a fucking alien. Most aliens do not look human. Mars is right next door, and the Manhunter is green. Matching a single ethnic group on Earth is already a miraculous coincidence. Does Krypton fit our species’s entire spectrum? Are there exceptions? Could Supergirl have shown up colored blue, and gone “wow, hair can be red?” An alternative is that their universe’s Krypton is an entirely different monoculture - and if nothing else changed, that might raise some questions for Ma & Pa Kent.
Meanwhile: they left Batman almost identical. Even though Bruce Wayne is just a product of his rich parents.
But yeah, I think those mods are just touchy. God forbid you ask follow-up questions.

You can’t really prove you’re not secretly pro-Hitler though. It’s simply not possible for anyone to do.
Sounds like something someone secretly pro-hitler would say.
