They're probably more talking about generic henchmen and muggers in the stories. That's an argument that people use in real life about punishing criminals that are "victims of society" too. Not that many people buy that when it's still wrong to gun down someone because your job fucked you over and you're tight on cash.
Dumb, found another one of these:I saw this unironically posted today... it's like they never read a Batman comic and mixed him up with Iron Man or some shit.
Except that (AFAIK) Batman these days canonically tends to leave "normal" crime to the GCPD: not that he won't interfere if he sees a mugging in progress, but he prioritizes the criminals that would give conventional law enforcement trouble. But hey, these dipshits clearly don't even know about the Wayne Foundation and its work creating jobs, helping the underprivileged with housing, its various soup kitchens, halfway houses, battered women's shelters, and other charitable work that Batman uses his civilian identity to do (it even has a justification to "hedonistic billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne": tax write-offs), so they've clearly read like three issues of Batman in their whole life.

The meme is just a medium for the message to them.
Nah man they just played the Arkham series. All they know is Batman breaks every mooks leg, even the ones just putting around.
Ah, yes, the old Batman "I just hit this guy with my tank-car, which then blasted him with lightning, but don't worry: it's non-lethal" technology.
No, that's right and kinda illustrates why I think using the genre as a platform to sperg about politics, at least in the way modern writers do, is a silly idea.
They want to "educate" and "inform" instead of entertain with their memes. Instead of jokes that are brief and straight to the point, they have lectures that are long and drawn out. They fail at making memes because they don't want to make actual memes.
I know you were contrasting against that idiotic meme and not presenting a definitive take on it, but to sperg a little, I always saw Batman, and his villains, as about insanity. It doesn't require a deep read to see Batman as Bruce Wayne's attempt to enforce control on the chaos of life, while also providing himself with a shell and mask to keep him safe from his own issues with fear and the death of his parents. He's conservative because he has to be, discipline and preparation are the only things that both keep him safe and keep him linked to society. And it's no surprise that most of his villains end up in arkham asylum.Victimized working-class people, according to woke niggas:
Oswald C. Cobblepot, member of the New England social class and leader of "The Penguin Mob" criminal syndicate: guilty of, among many other crimes, human trafficking
"Jack White", notorious mass-murderer, domestic terrorist, career criminal, and leader of the "Jokerz" criminal organization; guilty of multiple mass poisoning attempts, infamous for an utter lack of normal criminal motives.
Johnathan Crane, PsyD. Terrorist with little rational motivation for his targets or acts.
Jervis Tetch, PsyD. Serial child molester, guilty of multiple instances of mass druggings. Paranoid schizophrenic with known history of violent relapses.
I could keep going; the overwhelming majority of Batman's enemies are either the leaders of wealthy crime syndicates, personally wealthy (in the case of Cobblepot, both), or holders of advanced degrees. And really, are their hearts bleeding for the Tweeds, Waylon, or Solomon Grundy?
Wasn't the MTG community caught covering up pedos who were local judges in tournaments or somesuch last year? I remember Unsleeved Media going on a tirade against them after WOTC banned him on the word of a cosplayer.
I would like to ask you to stick to the topic at hand, there's a dedicated MTG thread in the salt mine subforum, and it has lots of Jeremy stuff.
