BRUCE WAYNE IS SELFISHLY COMPASSIONATE WHAT IS THERE NOT TO GET

Jason gets multiple major storylines with the guy who murdered him AND the guy who murdered Steph while she gets basically no acknowledgment of any of her trauma and I feel so fine and normal abt that

On the topic of sexualization in comics and how it is quite literally written and drawn into female characters, I think of Batgirl 2000 issue #39. I think about how, on the SAME page that Cass admits her overwhelming discomfort at being perceived as a body first and a person second, she is being depicted like a pin-up model.

A full-body panel, with the curves of her body accentuated in long, sweeping lines. Showing off the very bikini that Barbara says she "should never have made [Cass] wear..." in an open and unassuming posture, like she hasn't just opened up about her wild distress at being subject to objectifying stares. The writing itself presented an incredibly important message, especially for female audiences, but who was that full-body panel really for?

having a pen i love is so important to me

if i were an artist for dc i would draw all the female characters as people and not visually attractive caricatures and then i would be immediately fired for not bringing in the sex appeal

my only solace for you all liking that dickbeatingjasonup post is that its not my top post. then we'd have some problems

orientalism is sooo prevalent in western comics but rarely talked about because its just become commonplace: little things sprinkled here and there that weave a narrative of the east in an exotic and elusive manner. it is so pervasive in virtually every comic you read that it becomes truth in the eyes of the western reader

i will never understand how people can be a steph fan and hate cass or vice versa. like the venn diagram of steph fans and cass fans should be a circle. sorry but this is my truth

i talk about dick a lot but not often in the context of bruce simply because thinking about them makes me so unbearably sad and envious and hopeful and numb and euphoric and lonely and
