Think about it:

Booksmart to the extreme

Wants more than “this provincial life” (aka Gotham’s chaos)

Sees people for who they really are underneath the mask

Trades personal comfort to protect others (classic Tim move also such a omega move to but thats for another post.)

Literally befriends the grumpy monster with a heart (hi, Jason)

Doesn’t back down, even when it’s terrifying

He’s got that quiet resilience, the curiosity, the intellect, and the hidden steel core that screams Belle energy.

YES EXACTLY!!! I will never understand why people are attached to this idea that Harley's actually an innocent angel who was brainwashed into doing crimes. Like if that's the interpretation you find compelling then...fine, I guess, but why? To me Harley's so much more interesting when you let her have her own dark side that existed before she ever met Joker.

I suspect part of it is...trying to avoid victim blaming, I guess? Like they think if you think that Harley already had violent tendencies, and that she was specifically drawn to the Joker because of that, then you're saying she deserved to be abused--because of she'd been a better person, she would've been repulsed by the Joker, and wouldn't have started a relationship with him. It's like people think that if she's an active participant in his violence against others, she must necessarily be an active participant in his violence against herself.
