Altruism isn't necessarily a good thing, though, right? Especially in the hands of this bunch.
I mean, by my definition, altruism's doing a good deed because you want to, and with no expectations of reward or praise - someone can correct me if I'm entirely off the mark there - but how well does that mesh with an army, and a group of people whose previous ideas and models of peacekeeping A - were a complete fuck up, B - Now police the known galaxy and would be difficult to remove without severe upheaval, and C - were, again, complete fuckups.
Personally, I think it would've been more interesting if Johns had brought in a different group entirely working under the altruism concept. Because as it is - even from this page, you can tell the idea will get completely fucked up, as per usual, and Saint Hal will probably save the day.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
