So, basically, the stereotrope-ical 70s/80s Superwoman never died; it just fossilized into boringness like classical Superman.
I'm tired of seeing deconstructions of archetypes. Where are the reconstructions? What happened to things like Astro City?
Would it be too much to find some giant rock face and start engraving Tolkien's pre-woke-revisionist-history-edit works? Or you think that can wait a bit?
I'm not sure I see things so bleakly.
Culture warriors from both sides are starting to impinge upon the centre at this point. We, honestly, come across as weird. They come across as crazy and spiteful, and every time they take the mask off - as they increasingly have to, being in normie circles - they drive people away in disgust. I suspect this is partly due to their sheer inability to bide their time. Zealous fervour and patience do not mix well.
I suspect, if anything, we'll see a backlash against us and them at the same time.
That's not the light of civilisation being snuffed out, that's it stalling for a little while. It's hardly the Bronze Age collapse.
