it’s so sad and frustrating seeing people react to maelex by saying it’s outdated or didn’t age well or is weird in hindsight because no! it’s not outdated it aged fine and it’s not weird in hindsight because it’s supposed to be gross and weird and abusive. that’s the plot. that’s the point! you’re supposed to feel that way! Sometimes in old comics when characters are abused it’s actually treated as abuse in the comic itself. not every representation of abuse is outdated or mishandled just because they don’t show up with blaring signs reading ‼️‼️‼️‼️ warning ‼️‼️‼️‼️ abuse ‼️‼️‼️‼️
