like yeah obviously misinformation surrounding DC comics is really big rn but have we considered that every time you yell at someone online for not knowing a story line, you’re actively dissuading them from learning more? Like they’re not gonna pick up the comic you recommended when you’re over here like “can you even read??” or “*character* fans try not to be illiterate challenge!!” Nothing is going to come of that. You’re not doing anything helpful; you’re just being shitty bc you have more accurate information than they do. I have two phrases for you, “If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all.” and “You catch more flies with honey” plz learn how to be kind, that’s just my recommendation.

#and this isn’t about people #who reply to like misconceptions abt dc stuff and are like “oh hey no this happened here and so it’s not thst anymore :)’#like ya’ll are the best ya’ll give me hope for this stupid goddamn fandom #it’s not that hard to be like “that’s retconned bc of *insert reason*’ but no u gotta yell at ppl who r just trying to enjoy themselves #everytime someone’s explained the fanon vs canon to me in a kind or normal way IT MADE ME WANT TO READ CANON #AND NOW I DO #NOW I FULLT READ COMICS AND IVE READ MANY AND I HSVE MORE IM GONNA READ IM SO HAPPY BUT MY GOD #everytime someone said something shitty to me about not knowing canon it just made me NOT want to read canon #bc why would i want to be in fandom w ppl who jsut get pissy at me for not knowing smth yet #like oh god i’m a new reader it’s the end of the world #dcu #batfanon #fandom #dc #discourse #sort of #dc comics #comics
