OK final post on this and then I'll shut up I'm sorry I just have to say my piece. I think the reason stephcass feels so shocking when plenty of wlw ships have gotten the "like a sister to me" treatment in the past is that stephcass managed to avoid literally any mention of that for over 20 years. Even Batgirls for all it's light and flattened characterization understood that Steph and Cass are not sisterly, they're "whatever the fuck those two have going on." Literally every dc writer even if they understood nothing else understood that. They were written as ex lovers in future state so to go from that to this, and from wfa which while fanony takes pains to include oracle babs, steph and cass and duke (as flat and ooc as he is) as equally as important family members as the four fanon batboys, and references canon events that indicates that the writers have read the canon they're pulling from... Like it's not just a case of a bad writer it's a case of "How did we dodge this homophobic bullet for so long only to get hit by Wayne Family Adventures of all things."
#dc rambles#i swear I'll shut up now instigating stephcass sistergate 2025 was enough I cannot stoke these flames anymore#and also people comparing it to batcest are stupid but that goes without saying. the only one it could be compared to is tim and cass#but even back when they were teasing with those two it felt like all of dc was flipping between siblings or dating#and every writer landed somewhere different#meanwhile stephcass just. have not ever been remotely sibling like#and also they have ten times the flavour of tim and cass like it's petty but it's true.#cass and batboy ships are white moldy bread even if you shipped them from before they were siblings
