He is fucked, better get your Sandman TPB before they become a rarity… then again, this kind of kills some of enjoyment.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that Gaiman will NEVER be found guilty of a crime over this.

It won't help him reestablish his career as he cozied up to these leftist arseholes his whole career and now they're going to eat him. 

If you play with fire...

Being fair, dude was a free speech advocate and he actually expressed dislike of stuff like Trigger Warnings.

He was more of a Hollywood whore than leftie leftie, like suspected Scientology links and trying to get his stuff filmed.

Why do people just make up bullshit about easily researched things?

Errol was elected to the Pretoria City Council as a representative of the anti-apartheid Progressive Party and has said that his children shared their father's dislike of apartheid.[2]

After his parents divorced in 1980, Elon chose to live primarily with his father.[4][14] Elon later regretted his decision and became estranged from his father.[25]

...

Musk applied for a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother to avoid South Africa's mandatory military service,[35][36] which would have forced him to participate in the apartheid regime,[2] as well as to ease his path to immigration to the United States.[37] While waiting for his application to be processed, he attended the University of Pretoria for five months.[38]

Musk arrived in Canada in June 1989

Early in 1989, Botha had a stroke; he was prevailed upon to resign in February 1989.[250] He was succeeded as president later that year by F. W. de Klerk. Despite his initial reputation as a conservative, de Klerk moved decisively towards negotiations to end the political stalemate in the country.

...

The transition of de Klerk's ideology regarding apartheid is seen clearly in his opening address to parliament on 2 February 1990. F. W. de Klerk announced that he would repeal discriminatory laws and lift the 30-year ban on leading anti-apartheid groups such as the African National Congress, the Pan Africanist Congress, the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the United Democratic Front. The Land Act was brought to an end. F. W. de Klerk also made his first public commitment to release Nelson Mandela, to return to press freedom and to suspend the death penalty. Media restrictions were lifted and political prisoners not guilty of common law crimes were released.

...

Apartheid was dismantled in a series of negotiations from 1990 to 1991, culminating in a transitional period which resulted in the country's 1994 general election, the first in South Africa held with universal suffrage.

...

Apartheid legislation was abolished in 1991.

The Warren Ellis stuff is more annoying to me because is clear it was consensual (power dynamics debate aside) stuff and not even the women that cancelled him agree in what “punishment” he deserves.

Gaiman will need to pull a Chris Avellone’s reverse uno so big to get his career back. Ironic, because ERA is so sure Avellone just spammed money and won, the notoriously big salary of a video game writer.

The most infuriating part of that meme is the French Revolution started the next year, I don't know why everyone keeps putting 1788 on them.

Slayven… the story ends trying to paint him to be partially in the wrong. And you forgot to mention how some of the Squadron brainwashed criminals (and the Black Canary expy by Green Arrow expy).

Superman: Kyle, reversing climate change by making the Sahara green is actually evil. Humanity needs to suffer until they can fix it.
Kyle: but about all those times the sun almost exploded…

It's certainly frustrating and always nonsensical, but necessary to maintain the tension and relatability of the cape worlds. Can't have super heroes fixing all the everyday problems 🙂‍↔️

What if the Arkham's revolving door just suddenly made a hero snap and he kills the joker....and he finds he is totally ok with it. Even releaved at how easy it was, so he decided to continue in secret. And some very bad people just start dsiappearing, like a Nazi supervillain that was kidnapping women and trying to bred his own army?

So I gotta know how Supes justifies his position. Is GL being too superheroic or something? Like "suffering is a central part of humanity's greatness" or something like that? It really seems out of character from what I know of Superman.

Truth, justice, and the pursuit of your heroic quota for the day.

yeah that dumb shit is annoying. they can't let the heroes fix things too well or that spoils the ballgame.

ultimately you start to resent the ballgame that is comics and the perpetual need to revert to a certain state because your story can't evolve too fare beyond original problem states otherwise your commercial gimmick is damaged.

yeah all that free will protected by allowing human suffering...brought to you in perpetual waves by avoidable human suffering. or Darkseid, i guess, and not reluctance to make life actually better because "how dare we, we haven't the right, or the wisdom(...but elon musk does..)"

Superman really on that "if i take away their suffering, they'll lose the one thing that makes them endearing to me" shit.

It's why when House of X started and the X-Men showed the world that they mean business, some of us said "finally!"

None of these people even understand the objection. It's what qualifies any of these heroes to believe they know best for everyone including all consequences of their actions? KYLE IS A FUCKUP ARTIST, what gives him the authority to play god other than happenstance and the say of the Guardians? It's not about "they need to suffer" it's that Kyle doesn't know what will be the result of his actions and all of these people think his intent should somehow supersede that. Superman is cautioning him to think more carefully rather than blindly act with no concern for what bad consequences might happen. In the example given, Kyle has created fertile lands out of a barren environment, WITH ZERO CONCERN FOR OR IDEA OF WHAT THIS COULD DO TO THE ENVIRONMENT. This could create an untold series of disasters, just look at shit like mudslides in populated areas from a sudden change to the underlying ecosystem, how water drains, etc. Kyle probably didn't think of or account for this because no human can think of or know everything and Kyle is hardly some kind of expert in any field but superheroing. And someone blinded by believing they're only doing good is prone to not being skeptical about their ends.

All these ignorant narcissists on that forum never have any doubts about their infallible correctness even though they're constantly wrong about all kinds of things. So it's obvious they don't see the problem with a random dude deciding to play god.

There is a good monologue in the final issue on why Squadron Supreme utopia was destined to fail (the whole Utopia depends of good people not abusing it and they cannot trust new generations), but Mark Gruenwald put an objection on that with the final scene. 

When I was googling it I found the blog of a dude that also seems to have misread the comic

https://archfrivolous.com/2021/06/07/inside-the-hibernacle/

But now, it all seems bonkers. Let’s accept that you have to reopen prisons, because the B-Mod stuff really isn’t OK (the theory of mind and society it’s built on is absurd, mind you – but the absurdity is fascinating and might be worth talking about later). But the following list seems like a bunch of net goods to me. No guns, no army, and a promise to end death (if you want – the hibernacle program isn’t compulsory). But this is only a partial list – the Squadron has also made inroads into ending poverty and unemployment, according to an earlier issue. Does Nighthawk – or Gru – think that those advances should also be rolled back?

Nighthawk just tell you that all of this depends of a benevolent dictatorship that will never be sustainable in the long run, you tankie…
