black comic readers will say "buying black lead comics or black characters comics from dc doesn't stop them from getting axed and it's been literally 1200 days since dc has had a black ongoing so we're calling for a boycott to put pressure on dc by not buying comics and instead directly supporting black creatives" and here come the dumbest white people on the earth going "but dc is releasing pride month comics, do you hate queer people? but dc has female creators releasing comics, do you hate women? this boycott is so disorganised. i can't believe you hate queer people"

[ID: Text that reads, "The fact remains that it has been more than 1200 days since a Black character has headlined a solo title in DC Comics' mainline continuity. We continue to believe this is an issue worth discussing and addressing. However, we also recognize that many fans and creators we care about felt the boycott unintentionally minimized books, characters, and creators whose work provides meaningful representation for women, LGBTQIA+ readers, people of color, and other marginalized communities. That was never out intention, and we apologize for that impact. We heard those concerns, and they played a major role in our decision to reevaluate the boycott." /End ID.]

people will call them discrimination comics as the punchline to a joke and then when a boycott comes around in an attempt to rectify said discrimination they’ll shut them down in 3 days for not being specific enough instead of using their own initiative and then go back to calling them discrimination comics and not reading for any black characters/characters of colour ever

when you're at a point where you're publishing comics with worse, less substantial representation of black characters than you were in the 90s or 2000s, i feel like, and now maybe this is crazy, but i feel like maybe you should at least acknowledge that you have an issue

jason and tim can be brothers but they can’t be close because that’s super boring. jason has tim saved under “SCAM LIKELY” and tim doesn’t have jason’s number saved at all. beyond the resentment and the history there they just wouldn’t fuck with each other, endless cycle of ragebaiting and ragebaited switching back and forth whenever they have to interact with one another for more than like 20 minutes at a time and honestly that’s being generous. tim’s friends would resent jason for him being violent and awful but at this point tim would just resent him for being ridiculously irritating. BEST CASE SCENARIO would have them in a tom and jerry dynamic but without the underlying feeling of camaraderie and interdependence that tom and jerry share because tim and jason could go the rest of their lives without seeing each other and truly honest to god would not give a shit. this got really insanely long for no reason idk what my problem is today no one cares

rlly fascinating phenomenon to me is when a character is extremely popular, and that popularity seems understandable enough because they've got something interesting going on, and then you look at the fandom and realize 99% of their fans don't actually care about engaging with any of the things that make them interesting and instead seem to be fans of an imaginary milquetoast version that exists solely for ship and/or angst content and is so far removed from the canon character they might as well be an unrelated OC at this point
