So I guess it's hard for me to see heroes and their legitimacy as a model of much except for strong belief, open conviction, moral ideals and so on. And so I see criticizing them as kind of another statement of how that's something we should distrust, or mock, or hate. Which is sort of already the state of a good deal of culture, this attitude of skepticism. On the other hand, most positive portrayals of heroes are this kind of blind "naïveté" and "fanaticism" that isn't interesting, either. So I just don't know what to do with heroes. The subject puts me off. Unless it's going to show me some "ideology" really worth believing in.
But like, I'm not talking about anything specific. It's possible someone could turn that concept into something I would find interesting. But what I'm describing, I probably wouldn't.
