big gay barbie bitch

@barbielezbian your roydick fic has been in my mind for too long omg 😭

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

edit THANKS @smellslikebot

If she has something to tell me, I’ll receive an email with nothing in the body, but a Word doc attached. That’s where she writes her message.

Whenever she wants to email me a photo, she does so via an empty Word doc with said photo set as its background.

But my favorite thing was the first time I witnessed her visiting a website. She had me spell the URL (“W… W… W… dot…”) and with my own two eyes I watched her type it into Word, made it a hyperlink, and Ctrl click it to go there.

Until then, on a goofier note, seeing how Dick is depicted in outside media versus his own comics is always the funniest shit to me omg

Like he’s so cute here. He has been having a weeks-long breakdown in Nightwing. He lays on the floor and self-flaggelates for his perceived failures for a few days and then someone calls him out to help and he’s like “okie :D”

And it’s not like this is some unprecedented mis characterization by BG: Breakout; every series does this. I dunno what to tell you.

If it were just one cameo that did this, the argument could be that the author just doesn’t know what’s happening in Nightwing. But I refuse to believe that at this point. Meaning either:

1) This is an editorial mandate to have Dick adhere to his more well-known persona when popping up elsewhere, and that “well-known persona” is Good Boy McGee.
