Things batfam stans need to leave behind in 2023:
Jason's Lazarus pit rage
Thinking Tim's parents were horribly abusive and hated him
Only caring about Stephanie in terms of her relationship to another person (ex: Tim's bestie/ex/gf or Cass' gf/bestie)
Treating Jason or Stephanie like they're stupid
Feral Demon Child Damian
Permanent sunshine boy Dick Grayson
Any "[blank] was the real violent Robin" discourse
Really just any reducing or sectioning of certain traits to certain batfam members and not allowing other characters to exhibit those same traits (ex: see sunshine Dick Grayson)
But also stealing traits from other characters and projecting them onto someone else (ex: Jason getting Dick's personality in fics. He is not the same type of big brother Dick is canonically)
Purposefully mischaracterizing characters for angst (ex: Dick sent Tim to Arkham, my beloathed. also again see Tim's parents)
Trying really hard to nuclearize the family. They are an unconventional family for many reasons, and that's why they're interesting.
"Alfred solos the batfam"
Making Duke "the normal one" and completely forgetting to give him an actual personality.
Cass using sign language because she can read body language (note: does not apply to YJ Cass who has damaged vocal chords)
Cass being used as a prop for her brothers
Tim being weak, woobified baby
Feel free to add on ~~
Don't send hate over these things because idgaf, they are harmful mischaracterizations, and many are built on total ignorance and often racism, classism, ableism, and sexism.

I don't want to start shit, but it really irks me, so I want to vent anyway.
People claim Alastor is sex-repulsed because he rejects Angel's advances.
But what do we see with Pentious?
His rejection is even more vivid. But later?
It's almost like people usually want to have sex with someone they like.
Sure there are people who wouldn't mind having sex with a stranger or someone they barely know. But that doesn't mean that if you are not ready to jump into bed immediately you are sex repulsed.
I do not remember people commenting on Pentious claiming he is sex repulsed. Only Alastor. Why? Is it because he is ace? His averseness to fuck someone he knows for a week suddenly makes him sex repulsed because he is asexual and all asexuals are sex repulsed?
Upd. (It was also about him being touch-averse which is ALSO not connected to sex and we already saw that Alastor is not 100% always aversed. He has tight boundaries)
Upd 2. ( I was so angry I forgot about freaking Husk xD Who was constantly annoyed by Angel's advances. Again, no one even blinked at that)
*sigh* This is why I am even more vocal about canonically ace characters to be somewhere else on spectrum. To be grey, demi, anything! Because this stereotype is tiring. Bigots hate repulsed aces because we are freaks who don't want to fuck. But then queer community hates non-repulsed aces because we are not stereotypes.

To be quite honest literally how do people write entire stories... Characters... How.. I would loooove to make a comic one day I've always wanted to but idfk where 2 even start... Most of my OCs I made in high school are just like. People with not much story other than a vague concept at most... It's mostly just a character design and then stuff like "oh umm she likes... berries." My only real idea for a story is Bit and Sync's story but there's so much in that I wanna change... I just want 2 like start fresh w something but I'm like. Uhh

Are the bots advancing??? Why do they have profile pictures?? Why do they have quirky phrases in their bio?? Why do they POST?! They gotta be fake because why did I just get a random surge in followers?? Why did I get no notifications when they started following me?? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE. HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE REAL?

Man, it’s so wild that I’ve gotten out TWENTY PAGES for this comic so far. To some, 20 pages might not seem like a lot, but for a fan comic that’s done in what little spare time I have, 20 pages is a miracle. And for how much effort and love I put into each page to make sure it looks clean and believable... it’s another miracle I haven’t lost interest or gotten frustrated to the point of quitting.
Some of the panels have challenged me, I’ve had to put aside my perfectionist ways and settle with panels that aren’t as good as they could be, but that’s alright. I think overall, even just from the start of page 1, I’ve improved as an artist solely because of a project like this... because I kept trying. And I hope I can improve even more.
Even if I end up having to take longer breaks, I will keep drawing for “In the Ed.” Even if I just have 1 person following it, I will keep trying.
So, to those of who who have stuck around, to those who might find me in the future, truly and honestly thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by. Even if you stopped by and hated it, at least you gave it a shot, and for that, I thank you.

Also that terf that decided to call me "scitzo" in fucking Peter griffin's voice in their tags is unacceptable. You do not refer to schizophrenic people like that, and you do not demand respect when you will toss disabled people under the bus because you think their distress and disorder is for your amusement. I assume everyone who follows me knows better than to say shit like that but know if I ever see anyone use language like that to refer to schizophrenics you'll be blocked on sight, probably after I reem your ass. Schizophrenics deserve respect and fair treatment, not to be used as a fucking verb to insult someone in a sexist man's cartoon voice.
And you couldn't get me to admit with a fucking gun to my head I know what Peter Griffin sounds like in the year of 20 fucking 23 so cringe on top of ableist.
