okay so pet peeve is people getting really uppity about people having a wrong idea of a comic book character because "the comic that idea comes from is bad/wrong/a retcon."
on one hand, yes, that sucks and I hate it too!! I've complained about that very thing.
on the other. that's the fault of the people making the comics, not the people who read them. you get that, right?
no one is actually obligated to do the research and read what you consider to be the correct versions of that character and fix their mindset. if a person reads a shitty version of that character and forms ideas based on that then?? that's a shame but it's not a fucking crime. where do some of you people get off attacking and shaming people for reading canon material and treating it like it's canon? you may not like it. it may ruin that person's experience with that character. that sucks but they didn't actually do anything wrong and they aren't stupid just cause that's the version of that media they happened to engage with.
