screenshotting this one bc I can acknowledge that I’ve got shipper goggles on and op isn’t about that life which is fair but

I feel like batfam fans misunderstand the term parentification a lot and conflate it with Dick filling a parental role for his siblings, which might be part of the “oldest daughter syndrome” that’s so often pinned on him but that isn’t what parentification actually means

If I say that Dick Grayson was parentified, then that isn’t referring to him taking care of his siblings, it refers to the way Bruce treated him. As someone capable of taking care of his emotional needs and not as the child in need of care in the relationship

Parentification is a term that’s been around for decades, and while having to care for younger siblings might be a part of the definition, it focuses mostly on the role reversal of the parent-child dynamic. I’m not going to get into the psychology of it but being parentified has very little to do with if he actually acted as a parent for his siblings and everything to do with if he acted as a parent for Bruce

This is honestly why I prefer the term spouseification, which is less ambiguous than the term parentification and I feel accurately describes their “equal” relationship and the type of emotional abuse that Dick went through

Also from what I’ve read, Dick doesn’t act as a parental figure for any of his siblings except for Damian. While he might have given extra emotional support to Tim due to Bruce being Bruce, Dick still fits solidly into an older brother role. I’m not even going to touch on Dick’s relationship with Jason which is too weak to even be considered fraternal never mind parental

two pieces for @deerest-me these were both really fun to complete, given a lot of freedom with these concepts!

"I was groomed because content like this made me think [thing] was okay!!!"

Yeah that's sad and all but literally where were your parents or any other adult guidance in your life lol? Literally the only things I remember from kindergarten to grade 1 was about stranger danger and 'bad touch.' There were PSAs about online safety in school computer classes, on the television (anyone remember Saturday Morning Sonic?? lol), etc. My parents told me as soon as we got a computer and internet access not to give strangers my details or talk to them about certain things because they could kidnap or murder me or etc, etc.

Like, back in my day it was common fucking sense, as a kid, to keep online strangers at a distance, because you don't know who they are and if they're telling the truth when they tell you.

Sounds more like a societal and parental failing to me brosiski. You'd be better off lobbying your politicians, school board, etc for better childhood education especially regarding online safety given how prevalent the internet has become in every day life at all ages.

But no, bitching on the internet is easier, yeah, we get it. Lazy 'activism,' woo! You're totally doing a thing by harassing *checks notes* nerds who ship fictional dolls together! 🤡 Not really tho. You're not doing shit. You're wasting the finite time you have on this earth making other people miserable over a big fat nothingburger.

I guess we all have to have hobbies. Keep on keeping on, Don Quixote. Fight those windmills. You don't look like a batshit lunatic at all.
