Superman & Bruce Wayne photographed acting very friendly at a charity event; now there's an ongoing ship war between the SuperBat shippers and the SuperWayne shippers
A major factor is the insistence on the part of SuperBats that SuperWayne is somehow over the line invasive in a way that their ship is not; this stems from the fact that many members of the supershipping community distance what they're doing from RPF by insisting that they're shipping superhero personas rather than the people behind them, pointing to the fact that superhero identities can be passed from person to person as supporting evidence
SuperWayne shippers retort that the supershipping community has been shipping superheroes for so long that they've forgotten superheroes are real people, insist that both ships are equally problematic
Some SuperWayne shippers argue that their ship is in fact LESS problematic due to the fact that Batman is a violent & dangerous vigilante. Category 5 discourse event over 1) the ethics of Batman's behaviour 2) the ethics of Superman's behaviour 3) is there such a thing as a benevolent billionaire??
Both sides accusing the other of tinhatting. Both sides have tinhatters in equal measure. They are tearing each other apart.
All of this watched over smugly by the SuperAmazon tinhatters who are confident they're going to be popping the biggest bottles any day now when Kal and Diana finally go public about their relationship :)
#the small community of gothamite bruce wayne/batman diehards hate superman's ass btw #they are calling superbat and superwayne shippers metropolis bootlickers and telling them to kill themselves
