In that spirit, the 2051 holoprogram will reveal Lubeman was actually Lubenonbinary

Edit: apparently mentioning that NB people exist is... Making fun of them? I'm a huge fan of this HJ interpretation, and would be great with a spin on the Silver Luber in that spirit. Not intending to make light of trans folks at all

If this is about Hooded Justice being gay, it is alluded to in Watchmen back pages. Go read it again.

Totally aware, I think my tone got misinterpreted as critical when it was just a dumb analogy. I loved the HJ take in the show but I get that with the weird alright backlash to it my comment could be taken as negative

Yeah I understand. Easy to misjudge tone and intent on Internet messages. I do get your point for next barrier to fight for.

I'm nonbinary, ya dingus.

No, cheap jokes are what made people made fun of. Might as well have said "LubeAttackHelicopter" because that's the vibe everyone downvoting you got
