THAT WHINE YOU HEAR: THE ILLOGIC OF THOSE WHO STRIVE AGAINST JUSTICE

So, you don't value justice? What superhero fights for crime? Let's examine this logically, shall we? 

The opposite of justice is what? Crime, right? Or at very least injustice whether criminal or not, correct? The a priori assumption is that most of you will be nodding your head in agreement at this point. Those who are not probably already have an idea of where this is heading. Good for you. You get a biscuit and a pat on the head. 

There is no need to expand upon the concepts of justice and crime is there? These words and ideas to not need expansive qualifiers. Crime is crime and injustice is injustice. Righteousness and justice do not require qualifiers either, do they? You'd be amazed how many disagree with such simple sentiments. You really do have to twist yourself into a metaphorical pretzel (I have to qualify here by saying metaphorical because many such people are terrible and erroneously literal) to suggest otherwise. 

In their Bizarro World, justice is wrong, crime is good and superheroes representing bad guys is somehow logical. In fact, they daily pine for the bad old days when a lot of injustice and crime was overlooked. Turning the clock back to the Silver Age is what they want to do. 

Or do they...really? 

Superman fought the Klan. He was created by two talented Jewish kids from Cleveland. He fought for "Truth, Justice and the American Way" and it was understood that racism, rank misogyny and other unjust and criminal things were bad. If you turned on The Adventures of Superman, you always saw him fighting for the little guy, because he had been created by people who faced injustice and crime. On June 2, 1932, Jerry Siegel's dad died of a heart attack after his store had been robbed.

Even Superman's real name, Kal-el, included the name of God, El. So did his biological father, Jor-el. Those not-so-subtle hints are overlooked by those who strive for injustice and crime and expect superheroes to protect bad guys and all they represent. 

Social justice is simply justice. The qualifier, social, is superfluous. So all the whining and complaining about Social Justice Warriors or SJWs which is a daily assault on the senses of those who love comics and the very notion of superheroes are on the wrong side of history, morality, ethics and the law, but at least we know what you think and what your values are.
