Media literacy is so dead just saw someone say that they hate that ppl “always go back to” Barbara’s attack from the joker when talking about her character
#babe…#ever since it’s happened that affected her entire character#and the way she’s been perceived#like even versions of Babs written where the attack never happened are perceived through the lens of the audience who knows that it did#It’s like saying ppl who talk abt Jason mention his death too much#even when speaking abt Jason who’s Robin or aus where Jason never died#the fact that he DID will always be an integral part of his character#just like the killing joke#whether you ignore what happened change what happened or deal with the results in a certain way#we’re always gonna know and compare and analyze why it was written differently to the og#that’s just how it works#especially in media dealing with multiverses and alternate dimensions#we’re always gonna compare it to ‘our’ universe#the Justice lords talon aus owlman etc.#those don’t just exist in a void 😭#you dont mention the original ‘too much’ it literally informs the character pls#like barbara being attacked by joker will unfortunately ALWAYS be part of her character#even in iterations where it didn’t happen#Bc the audience will still speak about#even if it’s just to say ‘she’s batgirl so it probably hasn’t happened yet’#that’s just how it is with milestone acts sorry 😭#whenever ppl write her it’s ALWAYS gonna be brought up just deal with it idfk
