10. He's a hero

Whenever an identity (sweetie pie loser lingo) is involved we have the issue of the psycho fringe, the monkey-brained cretins, the lowlife, spoiling the world. This hero stood in their way..

Unfortunately, it's always historically forced upon members of an identity group, regardless of what that group is, to disassociate, to make outcasts of its lowlife, to police its own. To purge them. To excommunicate them. Even, as necessary, to punish them. I assure you I don't care what that identity is.

Obviously, you're welcome to come up with examples to demonstrate whatever point of view you may have.
