Why does calling super in PostSerializer#raw cause a 500 error while calling object.raw works?

I know I can avoid the problem by using object.raw instead of super, but I want to understand why super causes an exception here, especially because I also override other methods (cooked, post_stream, etc.) and super works fine in those cases.

I’m pretty sure it’s because raw isn’t in the serializer for a normal post. It’s only when you edit that raw is included. To display a post you need only cooked; it would be a waste to also include raw when it’s not needed.

cooked and post stream are in the serializer, so super works.
