Can he exist in the modern cultural climate?

Seems like a relic of the 70’s to 80’s, when movies like deathwish, taxi driver and Dirty Harry were popular because crime in cities was so out of control so the idea of murderous vigilantes was outright tolerated by the mainstream (even in real life)

Nowadays seems like the opposite. Also for some reason people want to abandon him because groups they don’t like adopt his symbol. Not logic I understand but that’s the logic they use (why cede ground on a popular symbol?) with his skull being used by cops and such.

If anything I find it annoying that he’s now had multiple issues where he has to talk directly to cops to tell them he doesn’t like heckin fanboys and nobody should be like him, now going into his show even. As if those cops even read comics lol
