I like how angry "content creators" can
get over trivial things like the drawing of a bum.
I wonder if deep down they actually really care?

surely one look at this place is enough to demonstrate that they really, REALLY do.

Basically yes.
This is in regards to the general trend that comics have of depicting male and female superheroes. Typically, female characters in almost every panel or scene will be posing like a pin up girl, and are invariably drawn for sex appeal. Male characters, although also wearing muscle revealing skin-tight spandex, are far less often drawn in sexually evocative poses. Superman may look like a chippandale dancer, but he isn't cocking his hips and arching his back, just case any ladies are watching.
Basically, whilst male characters are drawn to idealise their physical form and their sexiness may be incidental, female characters are drawn to be as sexy as possible first. Women like comic books too, however the continuation of this tradition is kind of unfair to them, because the comics aren't made with them in mind; only horny teenage boys. If I were a comic book fan, and every issue from now until forever were to feature men in thongs, thrusting their cocks out towards the viewer in every panel, I'd probably find it annoying too.

They are not talking about comic trends in general, though,
which may be an interesting argument about body image - both male and female.
They also are not talking about how so much media seems marketed to teenage boys - which is annoying both to intelligent adults and teenage girls (although not aiming anything at them would also be odd).
Both sides of the argument are simply arguing about a specific bottom on a comic I'm sure neither of them read.

who would win in a fight - Superman or the Incredible Hulk?

The incredible hulk, of course.
His bottom is bigger.

The few articles I've read on this
specifically refer to how it relates to comic book depictions of women in general, eg: www.themarysue.com/marvel-spider-woman-variant-butt/
There is a thing called The Hawkeye Initiative, which is a parody of this exact thing ("woman showing arse on comic cover").
