something i've noticed is there's so much overlap between nerd spaces (specifically comic and anime/manga) and kpop fans' treatment of black people
because they both love aspects of black culture/identity (the underdog trope is really prominent in both nerd spaces and kpop, x-men are one of the most popular superhero teams, kpop is heavily influenced by hip hop and black styling, etc) but once black people try to engage with them, they get pushed out through exclusion and being spoken over
like it's just so crazy seeing people who love mutants complain about "wokeness and dei," and kpop fans praising cortis as innovative while degrading the black music&artists they were inspired by
How do you feel about Soleil/Lunar the Sugar Glider from IDW Comics?

Thanks for the poll! Polls for the Sonic fandom on just about anything. Share polls you like to get more data. Asks and submissions always open.
Note: Anon it wouldnāt let me directly answer from asks, sorry for that!
I know most people hate it because it made things more confusing, but I hate the new LOCG continuity update because it got me experimenting like Iām Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and my poor phone battery is Beaker.
āHm, well what would happen if I did read every single issue of Action Comics? Would that finally push Batman out of the top spot? Hm, only if I donāt sort by continuity. Well, how do I get New Earth Superman on top? Oh, I know! Iāll read every issue of Superman 1987 and Man of Steel! Letās see what that does, read all! šā ā

Batgirl thoughts because I reorganized my bones alphabetically
First of all:Ā Cassandra Cain is not āa Batgirl.ā She isĀ THEĀ Batgirl. Put respect on her name.
Cass was raised by assassins. Not metaphorically. Literally. She wasnāt taught how to speak, read, or socialize ā she was taught toĀ read bodies. She understands movement, intent, violence, fear. She can tell what youāre about to do before your brain finishes deciding to do it.Ā Batgirl (2000) issues 1ā6Ā make this painfully clear, and issuesĀ 12ā25Ā deepen it until youāre sitting there like, āoh wow, this is a whole new species of trauma.ā
And then DC does something genuinely incredible.
InĀ issue #5, CassĀ choosesĀ to give up her body-reading ability ā the one thing sheās ever been told gives her value ā just so she can speak. Just so she can communicate like a human being instead of a weapon. And itĀ destroysĀ her for a while. She becomes clumsy. Hesitant. Afraid. Human.
The next few issues are about her rebuilding herself from scratch, figuring out who she is without the thing that made her āuseful,ā and itās one of the most emotionally raw arcs DC has ever written. She even trains with Shiva again, knowing the deal is eventually a fight to the death ā and when Cass wins, sheĀ refuses to kill her mother. That choice matters. That choice is the point.
Cassās story is about agency, communication, and choosing humanity over violence, and DC keeps forgetting thatās what made her special.
Now.Ā Stephanie Brown. The girl Gotham keeps trying to ignore and who simply refuses to stay ignored.
Steph gets written off as āTimās girlfriendā or āthe dumb blonde,ā which is wild considering sheās one of the most emotionally resilient characters in the Batfamily. She becomes Spoiler because her dad is a criminal and sheās sick of his nonsense. Thatās it. No destiny, no legacy ā just stubborn hope and a bad plan she commits to anyway.
Her pregnancy arc inĀ Robin (1993) issues 55ā61Ā is handled with actual care. She makes an impossibly adult decision. She gives birth. She chooses adoption. Thereās a scene where she refuses to see the baby because āit isnāt hers,ā and then she breaks down ā and Tim finds her, not even knowing she was pregnant ā and that moment becomes the start of aĀ newkind of relationship between them. Not romance.Ā Understanding.
And DC erased it.
Because apparently female characters arenāt allowed to be strong in ways men canāt be.
Steph earns the Robin mantle. She fights for it. SheĀ deservesĀ it. And even when sheās torn down, humiliated, or sidelined, she gets back up anyway. Stephanie Brown is persistence personified. She is hope with a domino mask.
Now listen to me very carefully:Ā Cass and Steph together are everything.
They are pure chaotic soulmate energy. Cass is quiet, observant, intense. Steph is loud, emotional, impulsive. When theyāre together, they balance each other in a way that feels intimate and deliberate. You see it inĀ Batgirl (2000) issues 20ā25, 34ā37, and especially 58ā60.
Cass opens up around Steph. Steph treats Cass like aĀ whole person, not a project or a weapon. The devotion isĀ textual. Iām not saying DC intended it to be romantic ā Iām just saying the yearning is so loud you can hear it even when the panels are silent.
They are not āthe girls of the Batfamily.ā They are theĀ emotional backbone.
Which brings me toĀ Barbara Gordon, because if I donāt talk about Oracle I will scream.
Barbara becoming Oracle afterĀ The Killing JokeĀ wasnāt just character development ā it changed comics. She became the strategist, the information hub, the personĀ everyoneĀ relied on. She was powerful, respected, essential. She showed that you could be disabled and still be one of the most important heroes in the world.
Oracle wasnāt a downgrade. Oracle was aĀ reinvention.
And DC took that away.
They erased one of the only wheelchair-using heroes in mainstream comics who wasnāt sidelined or pitied, so Barbara could be Batgirl again like nothing ever happened. Fans lost representation. Writers lost one of the most compelling perspectives in superhero storytelling. The Batfamily lost its anchor.
And for what? To make her āgeneric bat-themed vigilante number eightā?
We already had Cass. We already had Steph. There wereĀ so manyĀ better directions to go.
And donāt even get me started on Dick Grayson, Barbara, and Koriandār ā because DC keeps flattening all three of them into a love triangle that makes none of them look like themselves. Dick communicates better than half the Justice League. Kori deserves depth beyond āthe ex.ā Barbara deserved to keep the identity she built after trauma.
None of this had to be undone. DC just doesnāt know how to handle its female characters unless they fit a very specific mold.
Anyway. Cassandra Cain. Stephanie Brown. Barbara Gordon as Oracle. These characters are messy, strong, healing, hurting, hilarious, and heartbreaking. They are doing emotional labor the men literally cannot. And DC keeps sidelining them instead of letting them be the heart of the universe they helped build.
If anyone gives me an excuse, IĀ willĀ write a 15-page sequel to this rant.
Be afraid. š

I finally read Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #1
Fuck me sideways what was that hot garbage.
I went into Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #1 hoping for a nuanced, character-driven exploration of Jasonās early days. A chance to show what makes him distinct from Dick, what makes his story tragic and compelling.
Letās start with the art. Yes, itās āprettyā in that washed-out, painterly way, but it does Jason zero favors. Heās stiff, lifeless, and half the time looks more like a haunted mannequin than the vibrant kid heās supposed to be. Thereās no kinetic energy, no spark that says this is the street kid who stole the tires off the Batmobile.
The writing isnāt much better. Jason's dialogue feels either sanitized or wildly generic. Like you could swap his name with any other Robin and not notice. The emotional beats are surface-level at best, cribbing the usual āyouāre not Dickā tension with Bruce but never developing it. It all feels like it was written by someone who read Death in the Family once and said, āyeah, I get it.ā
Also, whereās the grit? Whereās the moral ambiguity, the frustration, the charisma? Jason Todd is so much more than āthe angry Robin.ā Heās clever, sarcastic, passionate. He tries too hard and feels too much. None of that comes through here. Weāre given a Jason who's already halfway on the path to tragedy, but without the heart that makes you care.
And letās talk about the utter character assassination of both Bruce and Alfred while weāre at it. This comic acts like Jason Todd showed up and ruined the vibes in the Batcave, when older comics made it clear: Jason brought joy into their lives. Yes, he was a handful. Yes, he was rough around the edges. But he lit up that house in ways Bruce and Alfred desperately needed.
In the classic run, Alfred dotes on Jason. He worries about him. He teases him. Basically his grandpa! But here? Alfred feels cold and emotionally distant, like heās barely tolerating this kidās presence AND clocks him as dangerous.
I'm not going to touch Bruce with a ten foot pole.
Anyway. For a comic supposedly about Jason Toddās early days, it does everything in its power to make you wonder why anyone would have ever wanted him there in the first place.
I'm incandescently angry. I just want like one competent writer for Jay. Just one.
God this is long, I just needed to yell into the void.
i still can't believe i actually killed the midpollo fandom. guys. you didn't have to like. quit. you could've just learned to be normal
"Jason isn't canonically (your choice of headcanon)"
Yeah, well. Canonically he's been beat up by his fucking DAD, when he wasn't fighting back. Canonically he was practically lobotomized, also by his fucking DAD. Canonically, the dude gets some of the worst writing this side of the anti-Batfam bullshit written for Bruce by the edgelord fuckwads actually paid at DC for their drivel.
The Venn diagram of bad writing and DC writing sometimes feels like it's almost a circle. With some nice standouts that don't make up for the bullshit the rest of them chuck at folks.
Anyway, fanon rights only. Canon can't even bother to keep itself straight. If you disagree, there's some perfectly canon comics right there for ya. I'm happy for you, man. Someone should be able to enjoy that shit. God knows I'm the "truly terrible romcom" enjoyer, so someone should be a "truly terrible comic writing" enjoyer, too.
