I keep hearing people say that Barry Allen is a conservative in the comics.
Is this true, or just a meme?
Any examples of his conservatism?
It's not really a partisan sort of conservatism, just a general mindset. Like he's not fully political like Green Arrow though they have been used to play off each other at times.
Hawkman's the conservative, I never heard of Barry leaning right.
>>93305662
How did Arrow mean that? Why would he need to add "AND BLACK"?
>>93305662
>Says a character is black and that's why they NEED him
>>"so... you just want a token black?"
>"what? No! You racist piece of shit."
Boy am I glad I switched from left yo moderate... not much has changed from then to now.
>>93305681
Same. It's mostly memes and 'adjusted' dialogue pages.
Where do you think Wally learned this from.
>>93305662
The more I read these comics the more I kind of come of hate Green Arrow
>>93305773
This was mind control.
>>93305796
It's part of his charm.
>>93305662
>>93305796
Atleast the DC writers seem self aware and write Green Arrows more "I'm sooo liberal" moments as being a character trait that makes him look dumb rather than trying to make it so he's actually in the right.
Hell, most of the characters that react to him saying stupid liberal shit either ignore him, or call him out on his bullshit
>>93305618
He's a cop. So he's for cop stuff.
>>93305877
>stupid liberal shit
Took a wrong run buddy. /Pol/ is down the hall.
>>93305883
Has he killed unarmed black people?
>>93306004
nah he legit just calls people who disagree with him nazis
>>93306004
You telling me this isn't stupid?
>>93305662
>>93306030
In the TV show he killed Wally. I don't know if speed force counts as armed or not.
>>93306004
You'd have to be a moron to see some of the things Arrow says and not think it's completely retarded
this is now an Ollie thread
>>93306132
What the fuck? Why call him a Nazi?
>>93306168
Thats what liberals do, duh.
>>93306168
The writer was foreshadowing tumblr
>>93306168
He is a social justice warrior. Confirmed. Injustice 2; 2017. He gets called out on it.
Somebody shop this guy with a goatee and a domino mask
I want a "liberal green arrow" meme
>>93305877
I dunno anon. Everybody in the Rebirth book treats Ollie like a doormat and he cant seem to apologize enough
>>93306168
>why would a liberal call someone he doesnt agree with a nazi
They knew with horrific accuracy
>>93306168
>>93306055
>>93306004

>>93305662
the point of political Ollie, in my opinion, has always been that he has the generally correct views on things, but is just too over zealous and ridiculous about it. A lot of Ollie's writers were liberals themselves (and were 60s/70s liberals at that) so it was more poking fun at how radical their fellow liberals can be. You can especially see this when O'Neil writes Ollie, he himself is a liberal, but he knows how to satirize his own views in an intelligent and pointed away.
Also these writers arent like modern writers who think they have to have the characters reflect THEIR viewpoints and be correct about it. They were fine with giving characters their own views and flaws (even if they agreed with those views).
My dad is almost like a real life Ollie in his political beliefs and Green Arrow is one of his favorite characters (with Swamp Thing and Batman), but he is self aware enough to realize the satire and laugh at it while still being just as zealous as Ollie.
>>93306194
What? Show me, my brother.
>>93306030
He's not a Mexican cop
>>93306266
you are completely missing the point of the character you idiot, he is meant to call out liberals like this. Either by acting just like them and being wrong or by actually calling them out (which he has done before).
>>93306316
I think he means this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRlOrg3ABYA
But Ollie called himself a SJW in Rebirth too. He's such a cunt.
>>93306313
It was the same with flash being conservative they were both used to show how unbalanced extremes were.
>>93305618
Because Barry is always right, thus why he's a conservative.
>>93306362
For sure
>>93306355
you retard, Ollie is an ACTUAL social justice warrior. He actually goes and fights for real social justice like corrupt mayors that are secretly cultists. Not the current internet SJW shit.
>>93306412
He's both, that's why he's good
>>93306355
>tfw you have become so blinded and brainwashed by memes you don't even realize the term social justice warrior was a term before the 21st century
you know it used to be a good thing.
>>93306422
yeah but when he does the retard kind of SJW it usually backfires and teaches him a lesson.
>>93305773
Clark doesn't look very pleased
>>93306168
It was a premonition of the end
>>93306168
He's called
Batman a Nazi
Superman a Nazi
Hal a Nazi
Wally a Nazi
>>93306168
memes aside in cannon he just does it its never really been explained but he calls people nazis out cannon its just making him seem eccentric and prone to exageration
>>93306440
Used to... then idiots took over.
>>93306440
Well it certainly isn't a term of endearment anymore.
>>93306573
To be fair, the way Geoff Johns writes Batman he could be a nazi.
>>93306464
You'd think growing up on a Kansas farm in the 40's he'd be used to casual racism.
>>93307476
He knew like 40 people and none of them probably even met a black
>>93305737
>>93305712
They were receiving criticism that they had no black heroes on the league's rooster. Flash is being an idiot.
>>93307476
Used to, maybe. Accepting of it? Hell no.
>>93307575
Actually, that just makes Flash even more right. Olly literally just wanted a token black
>>93307586
I mean, superman's not really "Caucasian", he's not any breed of human at all. He just so happens to be that color despite the immense distance from earth, but there you go
>>93307575
>Recruiting someone for a position based entirely on race
>But Barry is the racist idiot
I dearly hope you're just baiting, lad
>>93307688
But Ollie's not basing it entirely on BL's Race, he's basing it on his experience of him.
>>93307688
>>93307575
But he isn't, you retards. Notice how he mentions being black as a boon after he explains why he qualifies.
>>93307791
His race shouldn't come into the selection process at all, it's ridiculous
>>93307904
Why?
>>93305662
the last panel looks like Cromartie High School
>>93308727
Kek
>>93307684
Hes probably based on Jews,drawn together even made jokes about captain hero being from a jewish family.
>>93306168
it's the go-to for so called fascist comparisons
>>93305662
Based Flash
>>93309171
Superman was everything that his Jewish creators imagined the perfect person to be.
Including a socialist.
Seriously. For all the shit talk about Marvel being libtards and DC being conservative, everyone forgets Superman was quite literally the liberal dream as flatout stated by his creators.
Everyone also loves to forget that 'murrica has no ACTUAL liberal party, just moderates paying lip service to the liberal crazies like how the Republicans USED TO be conservative moderates that just just paid lip service to their own crazies.
>>93306132
God I fucking hate that pannel with the black dude all like "WHY ARE YOU NOT MY OWN PERSONAL SUPERHERO BECAUSE I'M BLACK!!"
Dude keeps the peace in the entire space sector and has never not helped someone on account of their race and he gets called a Nazi.
Barry was right when he said he didn't like Ollie because he was a pampered top 0.1% millionaire, went to some island, had a change of heart and when he came back he projected his old self onto anyone not radical like he was.
Ollie, why didn't YOU do something for them black folks back then?
>>93306317
There's very few black people in Mexico, because we ended slavery in 1821 and everyone was made equal. We had an afro-descended president in the 1820's. When was your first black president? Oh, yeah.
In the face of literal hours of Americops shooting unarmed blacks in the face you come up with that. You Trump fags reach so far is laughable.
