I stand (well, sit) corrected on the details, thank you.
The pages you linked to clarify, but I don't think they help a lot counterargument wise.
It's clear from the pages that Aquaman, who is king of his independent city state, has rejected Superman's self-assumed authority to tell him what to do, and that is the reason that Wonder Woman and the JLA have come to see him, because Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Shazam and Hawk... person (sorry, I can't make out is it's Hawkman or Hawkwoman) is serious overkill for a shipping incident
Wonder Woman's "reasoning" there would have been somewhat more convincng if it hadn't been followed by her "SHUT UP! I am so sick of talking" line, which suggests she was all but looking for an excuse to escalate the fight.
Yes, she has just been shot by a nervous soldier, but not enough to more than slightly inconvenience her, if she was genuinely seeking a peaceful solution then she would have understood that that was a misunderstanding, not a declaration of war (though Injustice Wonder Woman seems seriously more miitant than her mainstream version)
I still hold that Superman has been acting as a dictator for many issues now. from the moment he usurped the authority of democratically elected officials because he didn't agree with them.
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.
