Honk if you like Sodomy

It harms your lungs and it’s especially bad for children (and pets!) or anyone with health problems. There are all kinds of chemicals in that smoke. It’s not only trees that are burning. The heat already makes it harder to breath. This makes it worse.

If any of you are experiencing it, feel free to tell about it in the comments. 💚

The Flash (1959) Issue #174

Asking on the basis of this, what do you think of the differences in Barry's and Wally's approach to morals ?

I tend to think that Wally might appear a little fluid/ looser in terms of his moral code but recent re readings of the Flash had me thinking that Barry might be the one to deviate a lot more, aka the rouges mind wipe etc etc?

( I do think Wally is whole lot more reformative, but I also think he's willing to do a lot more fucked up things)

I mean I think they're sort of... inverses of each other. Mirrors and foils, as they often are.

Barry believes in incarceration and punishment more broadly, he has overall less faith in the concept of reform and a more black and white concept of justice. He can sometimes come across pretty chilling in his judgements of people, eg the whole situation with rewriting Roscoe Dillon's personality, where he admitted that he saw him more as an experiment than a person - and still kind of fails to recognize his personhood even when he acknowledges that he made a mistake. At the same time he has a really enormous capacity to forgive personal hurt - for the biggest example he ultimately forgives Eobard for murdering his loved ones, ruining his childhood and generally tormenting him for essentially his whole life. Given time and some effort he can learn to forgive literally anything.

James' entire arc in Blue Devil being trusted with various things and slowly socialized back into society (I do not actually even think he was the guy who suggested stealing Dan's car I am VERY suspicious of Jack Edison) and especially being the guy who teaches Eddie how to be a superhero... and then also extending the same grace to Heat Wave and Weather Wizard who ALSO reform.

Honestly it is such a shame that Barry is just not aware of the late 80s-early 90s Rogues Reform period I am genuinely curious how he'd respond to the fact that none of them had done a crime in months.
