Thank you internet for telling me about the existence of something I had no inkling of; namely the debut of Foreskin Man, the “Intactivist” hero whose new adventures promise to be hair raising if not so very wide ranging.
I get that the way to win hearts and minds is to enlist the next generation in your cause, and on the whole I feel that there are very few good arguments for guys to be cut, but I can’t look at this site without being skeeved. Take a look at the character bios and tell me that you want to spend time with any of these people. And the sub plot of a biotech firm engaged in a conspiracy to harvest foreskins? The notion of a “Museum of Genital Integrity”? There’s such a thing as overplaying your hand.
The idea of a world where the biggest problem for a super hero to tackle is curcumcision is oddly optimistic when you think about it. Or maybe Foreskin Man is just biding his time until he can take on all forms of genital mutilation. Hopefully we’ll see some cool crossovers – I’m personally praying for one with Big Boy.
