Um if you write Jason having to get drugs for Catherine I want you dead btw. Not only does it tell me you assume the average drug dealer would give the hard shit to a very small child and then not supervise them at all (classist stereotype that all drug dealers are inherently evil + lazy writing with no grasp on reality) and you genuinely think that Catherine was CONSTANTLY high, as if that's even possible without overdosing far sooner than she did. That's without even getting into the bad mom Catherine propaganda.

#dc #jason todd #Catherine Todd #I don't like talking about personal shit on the Internet #but I'm someone who grew up in a family of addicts and dealers and the attitude so many of these fics have #is so fucked up #like yeah my uncle would give a 15 year old weed but he won't even let them be in the house while he's doing coke #every dealer I've ever met had been THRILLED about my enthusiasm towards school and they always encouraged me #Multiple of them have given me actual job opportunities because they know a lot of people and they help their own #you guys actually just hate poor people and demonize addiction!#it's actually starting to piss me off #you don't have to write Cathy as a perfect example of morality #but if you turn her into a neglectful monster I assume you're either classist or projecting #it actually is possible to write Jason parentifying himself in order to take care of Cathy #without blaming a terminally ill woman who was already dying and likely in immense pain #you guys could be critiquing capitalism and our healthcare system and how it fails the most vulnerable people in our society #but instead you're playing up how gross and evil addicts and dealers and petty crooks are to make Jason's lige sadder???#his life already sucks you don't have to be classist to make it worse I promise
