#a lot of WFA haters try to popularize their hatred so strongly like they're gonna shame the people who like it out of reading those comics.

"WFA is a bad way to get into comics"

WFA is easily accessible and free to read (for the most part) and doesn't require decades of comics history to understand.

YES IT FLATTENS THE CHARACTERS. YES IT'S GIGGLY HOO-HAH FOR THE FUNNIES. YES IT'S A BAD PRIMARY SOURCE TO BASE EVERYONE'S PERSONALITIES OFF OF IN THE LONG RUN. BUT ALSO: ANY WAY THAT GETS YOU INTO COMICS IS A GOOD WAY TO GET INTO COMICS.

Jesus fucking christ you people sound like gamer elitists. "Phone games aren't real games" "minecraft, stardew, animal crossing, and other sim games aren't real gaming" or like those gatekeeping music fans "people who only listen to this band's one album aren't REAL fans."

Look, if reading the silly little webcomic makes you interested in the characters and you decide to read more and delve in, then it's a GREAT way to start to "get into" comics, even if it's not remotely canon! Just like the cartoons are a great way to start even when they're non canon or flatten characters or remove certain iterations from continuity entirely (gestures at the older DCAU that mashed Tim & Jason together also Barry & Wally)

You should also consider that the ages of the target audience as to why characters are portrayed a certain way. WFA is rated Teen

Besides, it's a DC-licensed product. Whether you like it or not it is OFFICIAL content, even if it's not mainline canon.
