| There's actually a technical term for such pseudo-latin: "dog latin." Pig latin refers specifically to the code. | |

| That seems to be a common criticism in leftist spaces, too (in my experience). I think it can be helpful for people who don't have a huge vocabulary or aren't great at putting critiques into words, but it's never a useful stopping point for a conversation on why something is "bad."

| Pet peeves.
(I feel like "problematic"s also tied into the same impulse that leads to the popularity of "Top 10 Things Disney DOESN'T Want You to Notice" videos. Literary criticism, even feminist/marxist/postcolonial/etc., is not about tearing down great works of fiction. It's about analysing the real world based on the fantasies that it projects. So call Rudyard Kipling's Kim's use of a white protagonist "problematic," even go so far as "racist and imperialist," sure, but don't stop there. That debate has gone on for decades and somehow Matt Damon is still the star of The Great Wall, because we stopped at "problematic.") | |

(Funny how that is. It's almost like villain powers recalibrate to the local hero. Although comic-style crossovers tend to even things out...)

(You could argue that a gang of Riddler-level villains in Metropolis would be stamped out in short order. Less sure why the high-octane supervillains steer clear of Gotham, though.) | |

| Ship aft. (I think it can more interesting to put similar opponents together. It shakes out the subtleties of difference as opposed to red guy v. blue guy. Of course, there's something less subtle about superhero battles anyway. They're the powered externalization of what would normally be conflicts of the soul.) -|W|G|- | |

| Orientation to society.
(I wouldn't say only, it's just a particularly common arena for it. Most every superhero [or supervillain] has either superhuman or supernatural power or technology. Conflict gets externalized in fights or anything like that in all fantasy, but not all subgenres thereof are going to have special powers as rampant as in superhero media.)
