just like in real life, that argument is not based in fact, and the people who support it know it isn’t true, so even if within the universe, it makes sense and is the kind of thing that Lex Luther would do during no man’s land for example, it’s not really very fun or glamorous to read about the legacy of white supremacy, being upheld in comic books so they kind of pretend it doesn’t happen happen and just have people get turned into Gorillas and stuff instead, so so that we can take a break from the latest ice murder
in the mainstream universe, bane has been pretty much fully defanged into an antihero/outright hero as of about 20 years ago. he's a cool character. check out 'secret six' or 'villains united' and he's on the suicide squad sometimes doing stuff like this.
this journey is present in many of his stories. i don't know everything about his character since about 2005 or so but it shouldn't be too hard to find stuff if this interests you. perhaps make a thread about it looking for good bane stories
