#to be fair#some of Jason’s more sympathetic characteristics can be extrapolated from his robin run#not only that it can also be extrapolated from lost days in which we do see where the idea of Jason being protective of kids can come from#the problem with comic book characters is that there exists myriad of source material for the layperson to reference#it makes sense for fans of said character to pick and choose the best parts of a character to Stan#which is the nature of Stan culture as well#because of this there is always risk of Flanderization#however I do believe it’s uncharitable to simply judge a character based only on their more negative characteristics#as someone who can be labeled as a winick purist. I do advocate for more balanced fandom discussions#but I also do understand that comic books as a medium is an intimidating monster to tackle#and nothing can be done for the imperfect impressions people get from certain characters based on the#various ways one could tackle their entry to said medium#I’m more than painfully aware how Jason looks from someone who wants to start with Damian’s comic appearances#I’m also painfully aware how Jason appears to people who only read Titans back then#so the discourse was always going to be poisoned from the very beginning anyways#ugh o(-(#I was basically rambling this one sided discussion that developed in my head#I mean it’s probs a vague post about something my subconscious snagged on#I thought it was interesting and decided to put into words but now#I’m just realizing the inanity of comic discourse#because you just cannot control someone’s imperfect first impression of a character#you can’t get someone to give a character a chance when they already decided to hate them#brain dump#ramble#its honestly opening a new level of zen for me#I never engage in discourse. not really#but I did have a bad habit of reading about discourse (which I guess is another form of engagement)#I’ll just have to remind myself to click off
