I'm thinking of making a story with a feminist villain. Basically I was thinking to myself. What would happen 'realistically' if you gave someone like Brie Larsson or Anita Sarko actual Superpowers? How would they use that to push their agenda?
Once upon a time someone once filled my inbox with hate comments because I said Superman would be Anti-Abortion, and that got me thinking about Superheroes taking political stances.What honestly is stopping extremists from using the fact that godlike beings share their political point of view as an excuse to do horrible things?
(This applies to both the left and the right)
If Superman came out as Anti-Abortion or Anti-Islam for example. What would keep people from using that as an excuse to burn down Planned Parenthood or Mosques? Or if a Superman-esque character said he was a feminist. Prepare to see plenty of Social Justice Warriors use that as an excuse to shut down and use violence against right leaning people.
What are your guys thoughts? Do you think theres any weight to this Idea? I want to talk to someone about this idea but I cant really bring it up on other discords. Because everyone is on eggshells on writing discords when it comes to discussing this sort of politically charged content in stories.
