LITERALLYYYYY

What’s crazy is that this is literally a major insecurity Duke has to the point that karma latches onto that to take advantage of him and fucks him up to the point of flashbacks about it 😭

#PREVS #EXACTLY #not to bring Orpheus into it #but also him like the way his story was literally about how black kids need to see themselves in their heroes #and that’s just the vigilante side don’t forget he was also a fucking dancer that got shit on for not fitting the stereotype #he UNDERSTOOD rep more than anyone #anyways yeah the fact that that was the point of his story and he got killed off bc of white ppls drama el oh el…#BUT THATS LIKE ALONG THE SAME VEIN OF PPL PROVING WHY THE STORY NEEDS TO HE WRITTEN #what bothers me about Duke specifically is that when it comes to Orpheus we know damn well nobody in this fandom reads and they wouldn’t #care about him to begin with theyd likely only read Gotham war for tim maybe Steph #and for miles the ppl who say he can’t be Spider-Man don’t even pretend to be progressive #but for Duke it’s the same ppl talking about how important it is that tim is bi #making hcs about Bruce Wayne being a huge radical leftist perfect billionaire #calling Jason a destroyer of misogyny and dick the epitome of positive masculinity #just to turn around and be stupid about Duke?#like it’s infuriating bc they’ve deluded themselves into thinking they’re these progressives who are taking down a right wing canon with #their ‘tim paints his nails hcs #just to be racist as fuck #like not even just about Duke have yall noticed that everything they hate fanon for they put onto Damian #a brown CHILD #they’ll have Damian downplay stephanie like it wasn’t tim who actually did it #but this is about duke THATS what pisses me off. these ppl acting like they’re making these great changes by acknowledging queer subtext #just to ignore racial text. like fuck y’all
