Saw a reddit screenshot the other day of someone asking what's Superman's kryptonite lol

Reminds me of the recent reaction to the director of the Supermen movie, and the people calling the xenophobia "barbaric".

I mean, it's nice when it falls back at the same meaning, but it reaching its antonym is just great.
