Third, Christian nationalism is, again, not relevant to these people. They do not see it as real nor do they see it as a real problem. They may engage with this discussion. So I don’t see a need to reword this one.

The literal current Republican speaker of the House stated outright that the USA is "depraved" and key parts of his reasoning for this was the prominence of LGBT people in modern culture and declining church attendance and religious observation.

I fully agree that your average random Republican doesn't necessarily hate LGBT people, or non-theists but they're simply not paying attention to the outrageous crap many elected representatives are saying.

Unfortunately, many Republican elected representatives are, to varying degrees, anti-LGBT and do support Christian encroachment into non-religious people's lives.

I said steam storefront, so I don't mean specifically asking for a subscription service. I mean if I want to watch a TV show now, I have to subscribe to a service. There's no option to buy it digitally in most cases.

True, but this is also because there's no Steam Storefront option for people who like to watch TV.

Yeah I'm tempted to make a version of "newcommunities" for Kbin since MagHub just doesn't roll off the tongue (and is abandoned, although I doubt that is why it's so weak)

Sure. Or that.

I wasn't specifically referring to gore or violence, but themes - and I wasn't referring to comics specifically, just the bulk of superhero media. There have been some revisionist examples of superhero settings that take an established character and place them in a different context, with more adult HBO-esque themes. But the bulk of the many repeated releases for film every year don't seem to be of that nature.

Was it ever that weird? I feel Superhero fiction has always been for teenagers and kids primarily. What separates it that much from Tokusatsu, barring MA-twists where characters aren't really superheroes?

@TheArstaInventor You should post this on the ModCoord you did, and promote ModCoord on MagHub and New Communities. It got my communities a lot of traffic (relative to the site).
