It seems to be just pure moralfags in the hero proffesion. Right wingers have some extreme views but they want justice in the end too.
Why isn't there anyone to represent their views in the hero community?
(Pls no political shitposting thread)
Elijah Ward
Hawkman, USAgent.
Jaxon Ortiz
Icon
Juan Lewis
Comedian says hello.
Isaiah Green
Not american, could you define right wing?
Christopher Anderson
Rorschach is best.
John Cooper
That aren't portrayed as evil racist rapist villains maybe?
I mean, is it so fucking mind bogginlgy insane to think MAYBE some right leaning people are genuine hard working people that also want peace and justice and everyone to be safe and happy?
Or should we just gas all the Republicans right now?
Owen Allen
>Why aren't there any right wing superheroes? There are, but like right wing creators they're just a lot rarer.
Jonathan Flores
Because an intrinsically right wing hero that doesn't come across like a Conservative tract seems hard to do. A right wing hero who just so happens to be one seems simpler but it would seem difficult to make their politics apparent in their heroism without making it awkward. I mean it's pretty awkward when they do it with Left Wing heroes too but I'm more used to it. This too.
Nicholas Clark
Pro gun. Anti immigration. Securing constitutional rights. Pro life etc
Mason Jones
...
Benjamin Ramirez
Would Nick Fury be right wing?
Jaxson Parker
What do you mean by right wing? Pro or anti foreign intervention? Pro or anti civil liberties?
God I hate American political discourse.
Ian Ward
>Pro Gun Seems easy enough >Anti-Immigrant That'd be pretty awkward to fit in >Securing Constitutional Rights Yeah okay >Pro Life Akward again especially with the pro gun bit.
Easton Gomez
The superhero genre has some pretty heavy right wing undertones in general. It's all about a small group of "great men" stepping up and taking charge when the government and society have failed at every turn.
It's fairly easy to turn a superhero story into a right wing wankfest if you get it wrong.
Luke Jones
>I mean, is it so fucking mind bogginlgy insane to think MAYBE some right leaning people are genuine hard working people that also want peace and justice and everyone to be safe and happy? Republicans are split up into two groups. You've got the billionaires who are doing their damnedest to keep as much money as they possibly can in their pockets. And the useful idiots they surround themselves with for votes.
Benjamin Gray
How does any of this shit require a superhero?
Matthew Roberts
being anti-immigration has nothing to do with conservatism
the conservative position on immigration should logically be laissez-faire, pro-amnesty. it makes no sense for an actual conservative to believe someone should be kicked out because they ignored a government regulation 30 years ago. the only reason conservatives are anti-immigration is because of the GOP leadership's deliberate attempt to court the racist vote.
Bentley Richardson
pretty much all heroes were right wing during the golden age and silver age.
Colton Powell
USAgent. Recently appearing in the incredibly left-leaning Sam Wilson Captain America, which portrays him as a genuine, honest hero and doesn't dismiss his borderline Trumpian political ideology. I don't think Hawkman really counts because he's a warmonger from space who's basically shown to be wrong every time that his politics come up. The entire point of Icon being right wing was that he was supposed to be wrong, too, and the only way McDuffie could justify him being a black right winger was having him from a time where the Dems were the racist party.
Christian Lee
There is literally nothing wrong racism or wanting to gas every last Jew
Grayson Sanchez
Batman is clearly a conservative hero. A rich American who ignores the state and it's laws in order to defend people's rights.
Brayden Hughes
Eh...Punisher, Judge Dredd?
Hudson Wilson
>right wingers aren't moralfags I don't get it.
William Gutierrez
Would I be right in saying that a republican superhero would very likely understand that often killing villains is necessary in certain circumstances and thus would make it bad for a comic hero?
Samuel Stewart
>Conservatism is classical liberalism
No fuck you, conservatism means you don't want change, and having millions of immigrants pour into your country is massive change. There is nothing wrong with wanting the population of your country to have a shared heritage.
Ethan Williams
And gets all his power from daddy's money
Eli Hughes
Bruce gives away too much to charity to be conservative.
Blake Bailey
Right wing sucks shit
President Bush sucks shit
Jesus Christ sucks shit
guns sucks shit
Benjamin Rodriguez
Super heroes as an idea are right wing. An exceptional person using their personal talents to for the greater good more efficiently than the government sounds like something Rand would masturbate to.
As for personal politics, I would say Iron Man.
Tyler Garcia
But he isn't pro-guns
Gabriel Long
Superman was originally a social justice crusader
Jayden Murphy
Psychopath and fascist antihero.(judges have SS highlights in their visors to symbolise fucking Nazis)
Not exactly what I meant. I mean heroes that are viewed in a good light.
Nathaniel Torres
hey retard, not believing the government has a right to steal from someone to give to someone else has nothing to do with someone willingly giving their money away
Colton Smith
Clark "slap a Jap" Kent is no SJW
Liam Wood
There are comic heroes who understand that though.
Jackson Brooks
>anti gun >death is not an option
Nope. He's one blunt away from being a hippy.
Landon Sanders
Because cape shit is mostly written by leftist hacks who can't think outside their box.
Anthony Walker
>want peace and justice and everyone to be safe and happy
Sure, plenty want the first two, but the last one? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAA
But seriously, right-wing groups in every country focus on some kind of ideal cohesive unit and are more than willing to shit on everyone else to maintain the happiness, safety and cohesion of the one particular ideal and/or unit they, i.e. preserving the status quo, at the expense of any others. It's all about tradition and norms and as soon as you don't fit into those arbitrary values, it's nothing but judgement, fuck yous and get the fuck outs all around.
Evan Walker
Superman debuted three years before Pearl Harbor. He had time to fight for social justice before WWII seeped into every pore of American thought.
Leo Lee
>conservatism means you don't want change
Wouldn't that mean you're super pro-immigration then? I mean the country was founded on immigrants and all that stuff. Being against immigration would be changing how the country came to be.
Jack Cox
Like the man of steel superman.
Carson Rivera
Batman has always felt like a libertarian/conservative of sorts. They might make him super liberal nowadays cus it reflects Snyder's views.
But would Bruce Wayne advocate to disarm an entire country because he doesn't like guns, that's exactly the type of thing batman was lobbying against in Injustice when Superman got rid of all the guns and missiles.
Joseph Campbell
Punisher and Judge Dredd are viewed in a good light because the clean the streets and keep the citizens safe.
Henry Perez
Decker
Jose Reyes
>Pro gun. You've got plenty of heroes who use guns already. >Anti immigration How would that even come up, having them shoot border crossers? >Securing constitutional rights I'm pretty sure most heroes believe in the constitution, dude. What do you want, exactly, a hero who protects the fourth amendment by advocating against stop and frisk? Because I don't think most people would consider that rightwing. >Pro life etc How would you even work that into a superhero?
Anthony Barnes
Go back to your hippie anarchist commune.
Evan Adams
Right wing is basically for smaller federal government and strong personal freedoms. The more you want those things, the farther right you are.
Leo Morales
The best part about these threads is when the alt-righters come pouring in to argue that their favorite heroes would politically agree with them.
That one user that argues that Superman would support Trump and oppose gay marriage because he's from Kansas is my favorite.
Samuel Flores
>keep the citizens safe
Frank murders citizens all the time
Juan Clark
Superman was originally about a particularly tough working man slapping the shit out of rich evil bankers. But I'm sure you already knew that.
Christopher Sanders
Does Scrooge McDuck count as a superhero?
Caleb Ramirez
Even Superman is hard to pin down, he's from Kansas, probably grew up in a Republican majority town. But I guess metropolis could have turned him under liberal, especially working for the media.
I bet he has plenty of heated debates with ma & pa kent at the dinner table.
Ian Howard
Both Punisher and Judge Dredd are subversions which were taken literally. Dredd started out as satire and Frank was supposed to be a villain.
Nathan Russell
Maybe Punisher but no matter how many thousands of people Dredd locks up there are still millions of people still commuting crime. There's simply too much crime in Dredds universe. His actions are fucking futile. Dredd universe is pretty much the worst place to be.
Adrian Allen
>Right wing is basically for smaller federal government and strong personal freedoms.
Then why they try to make so many laws? Their mission statement is a lie. They don't want smaller government and personal freedom. They just want everybody to be forced to live the same lifestyle and everyone else gets shot, arrested, or deported
Henry Jackson
Punisher is a libertarian who hates murderers
Judge Dredd is a fucking fascist
Frank and Dredd have NOTHING in common
Ryan Myers
The guy just wanted a crash course in right wing views I didn't mean those as exact parameters of a right wing hero
William Reyes
If you want a rightwing hero to work you have to use the core values. Those are small government, community centered solutions, and small amounts of change.
For example a hero who kicks ass at night and then users their alter ego to hold defense classes for their neighborhood and foster a everyone knows everybody mentality might be one approach. Character faults might include reluctance to use tech, an absolute hate of alien/dimensonal shinnagons, and mocking of "godly" beings.
Thomas Anderson
If I recall, Wally West was conservative, but never really made a big deal about it. I guess Hal Jordan to some extent, but that was contrasted with Green Arrow, and pretty much everyone is right-wing compared to him.
Gavin Brown
That's more libertarianism and objectivism. Right wing is a broader concept than that.
Aaron Baker
Heroes should be apolitical. They're here to make the world a better place, not to shill for one political party or the other.
that being said, having political views in their private civilian lives is totally okay.
Joseph Garcia
He was probably conservative until he moved to Metropolis and became more liberal working for the planet. I like to think he takes the best of both, he comes across as traditional but not stubborn.
Jason Lewis
all heroes are inherently conservative because they uphold the status quo
Jaxon Myers
>outlaw vigilantes using violence to punish crimimals >instead of working with community to decrease crime through government funded housing and work programs Sounds pretty right wing to me
Eli Parker
Barry Allen's a Midwest Conservative.
Anthony Powell
>2 fucking Jew Canadian cucks >[tokes from weedbong] >"yeah dude, this born and raise Kansas man would totally be the most moral person ever, his parents are 100% saints that teach him perfect morals this is totally based in reality >[circumcises a small child] >[loses rights to Superman]
Jason Cook
I think assigning politics to Frank is bullshit. He doesn't care about the laws or what other people can do only what he can do. In fact he tends to hate sloppier vigilantes. So he probably gives no shit about what's in law abiding citizens rights because the law has no real affect on his war.
