ok so i'm regressing (back in the supergirl fandom). happy december folks. and i would just like to say -- if you still believe the super friends were the Good Guys™, then you are wearing BLINDERS. like ok, the whole point of the show is that there are no such thing as Good Guys and Bad Guys. But also, even if there were, Ms. Billionare Weapons Manufacturer and Alien ICE are not anywhere near the nice list. I'm sorry, you're telling me that that the secret government black ops group that held aliens in SOLITARY GLASS CAGES with no trial or charges and no way to defend themselves was the good guy? idgaf about kryptonite, that's despicable. not to mention contracting kara's friends off the street to hack the fuck out of everyone ever? no warrants, no judges, no oversight. and then consistently involving l corp? despite the fact that they keep killing people left right and center? yall what are you ON what really gets me is lena's "kara you would be playing god" line in s6. guys. guys. i hate to break it to you. but what would you call what you have been doing for the last 6 years? the harun-el experiments? the universe fuckery (less kara's fault)? medusa at the end of s2? don't get me started on that, what the fuck. these people are walking human rights violations i call it comfort copaganda for a reason, ok? this shit is wildly unethical and a little horrifying. i'm not saying that these characters are unlovable -- you can pry supercorp out of my cold, dead hands. but i am saying that the criticisms -- of lena, of the deo, of alex -- you see in supergirl fandom (fics, textposts, fanart, etc) are a good thing. and quite frankly, more interesting than the DEO Knight In Shining Armor approach. ty to the authors and bloggers and artists who challenge that kind of status quo we have in this fandom. you're my favorites.
