@Dicer @Type_Other @WoodshopHandman there was a time when good art was being made, but folks dismissing everything as slop or degeneracy is how we got here in the first place.
it wasn't all that long ago when c*nservatives were universally ridiculed for saying nonsense things like pokemon is satanic and DOOM is the root cause of school shootings.
do you *want* all media to be produced (and used as propaganda) by your enemies?

No it isn't
There's a lot of manga, aka nip comics, that are not slop and not even media, as far as I can see them, their genuine literary works the same as the Epic of Gilgamesh and The Odyssey, Iliad and many many others.
What is there in Superman that ever was like our lives?
What kind of trials and universal human experience can you have with an alien whose home exploded and he grew up with values of a foreign species where he is supremely more powerful than them?
How is that a work that uplifts the human experience and spirit?
