There's Selina Kyle and Holly Robinson as well, if you want a character with that trauma in Gotham! They've both been protective mentors, protectors and gang leaders to the homeless children of the East End (the area containing Crime Alley) at different times in canon, running the Alleytown Kids/Strays, while Jason has never done anything of the sort to Crime Alley kids in canon.
im also at a point where if someone tries to derail criticism about how male characters are often gifted trauma in fandom from the female characters with actual trauma in canon with “not my fault those female characters aren’t popular/interesting” instead of. reflecting about why they’d rather make up shit for a dude than care about a woman. with just. straight violence.
#also: stop making aus where tim drake is 'catlad' or 'stray' or whatever#when kitrina falcone aka CATGIRL is right there!#only in like. five issues. some of which were in a two-face story i strongly disagree with about him and gilda's characterization#but still! she exists! she is or at least was technically canon!#and she's full of potential to be developed in the hands of writers who actually care about her!#she's the disowned runt of a mafia family she's freakishly good at escapology which has very troubling implications#she's a gotham delinquent's gotham delinquent (debuted planting a bomb for the penguin) but also likes wearing pink and cat ears casually#selina steals these amazing maps of the criminal territories that drew and she sets out to steal them back. from CATWOMAN#yeah yeah jason stole the batmobile's tyres but imagine. your family tries to murder you and you immediately decide to Rob Catwoman#if you can remember the tiniest details about male characters that might not be canon anymore or have only been shown or mentioned once#and take completely fanon headcanons like the 'jason is crime alley's guardian angel' and run a marathon with them#you can acknowledge female characters' experiences traits and even just existences with more foundation in canon#even if dc won't! even if dc never does! that's what fandom is for!#when i get back into the swing of my catfamily chronicles series i will write so much content for those female characters#that should have already been written in canon and fanfic

diversity
Lots of people write Latino!Jason Todd and Selina Kyle which makes me go 'umm….' because while I like Latino!Jason or Selina when done right, why are the homeless kids/former prostitutes and thieves the Latinos? Like,,,, no?
If y'all really want to spread diversity, try lesser-used ethnicities: Canadian, French, Tibetan, Russian, Swedish, Bolivian (from South America), or Malagasies.
Please don't fall into the stereotypes other people create. Make Wendy White (AKA Proxy, Oracle's paraplegic sidekick) Latina, or Charlie Gage-Radcliffe (Misfit). Their parent's don't really appear in the comics so it wouldn't be that hard.
Also, Selina is questionably-canonically Italian. She's the not-confirmed daughter of one of Falcone's, sister of Sofia Falcone and aunt of Kitrina Falcone (AKA Catgirl, her second ever protege). It's alleged but it'd be a good plot point for diversity writers to use, especially seeing as Carmine Falcone once put a bounty on her head and she's implied to have helped kill him and because she took in her supposed niece.
Edit: Selina is canonically Cuban. Well then......, still do your research. Cubans are different from other hispanic people and have their own traditions and culture. Don’t try to make all South American cultures seem the same, it’s annoying.
#selina kyle#jason todd#carmine falcone#diversity#also sorry for sounding unnecessarily aggresive#i'm Passionate about this shit
