[ dc sideblog | main @mainbloc ] on that young lords revivalist puerto rican jason todd agenda. he told me himself so i know

[casscainmainly]

Sometimes I don't want that to be the world you live in. That's all.

For Day 1 of @dukethomas-week : Elaine & Duke!

Dark Days: The Forge // All-Star Batman #2 // Batman (2011) #37 // #50 // Batman & The Signal #3 // All-Star Batman #9 // Batman: Urban Legends #19 + "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes

Also fellow Duke connoisseurs (and others) please support DC Blackout and show DC that we want Black-led ongoings in the mainline continuity!!! & make sure to sign the petition!!

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"

[they-hermes]

the boycott is declared over by the official head of DcSoWhite and this was included in their statement. It lasted 3 days. I respect their decision but the fact remains that people were arguing so much about non black people being excluded from a Black centric boycott to the point where they needed to apologise for it infuriates me

[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.]

[crimebosscommunism]

the person who spearheaded the og movement might be stepping back as a result of all the harassment and collective white bullshit, but the fact of the matter is that boycotts don’t start/end until every single person participating in it decide to start/end it. we can absolutely still continue the boycott, as well as continue to pressure DC to do better. “but dc is releasing pride comics, don’t you care about queer people??” “but dc has female creators releasing comics! so you hate women??” it’s like you can’t fathom Black folks being queer and/or women. did you know people can literally be all three at once? have you considered that???? boycott this shit trash comic company until they get it together. what the absolute bare minimum fuck.

Getting to be a Jason fan is fantastic because writers that I liked elsewhere can still turn out absolutely dog shit.

#Jason is not the top acrobat (Dick) or computer master (Babs) or martial artist (Cass) but he IS the top Looney Tunes hijinks specialist. (op's tags)

Jason's point isn't about whether or not villains can be redeemed, it's about the people they continue to kill (potentially but not necessarily on their way to redemption).

I’m sick and tired of found families we need more found toxic workplace environments

[prodigworl]

ageing jason down (morally neutral), ageing jason up (morally evil)

[prodigworl]

the issue with ageing jason up because it dampens the cruelty of killing off a kid -- essentially, you're helping dc whitewash themselves by trying to make him seem closer to an adult, closer to someone who has full autonomy, closer to someone who would have been at the age he got his learner's permit vs the age where his voice starts breaking

thus. evil. 🫵🫵 don't do that 🫵🫵🫵

[prodigworl]

also.

jason’s age in relative to dick and tim is important too? funny how it’s always jason’s age people fuck around with (and somehow it’s always people ever ageing him up) when it’s important that jason and dick have a larger age gap? for crying out loud. dick entertained thoughts of adopting jason in pre-crisis. that jason and tim’s is actually smaller than you think (< 2 years).

he’s not as old as fandom (and dc) makes him out to be and exaggerating his age to villainise him/woobify your fave isn’t as slick as you think you’re being.

so yes. i have a problem with it.

[system-of-cells-interlinked]

I don't care if the whump was objectively well executed or aesthetically pleasing or whatever, it should have happened to my fav instead.

DISPELL the myth that Jason came out of the Lazarus pit Red Hood sized. He was very much still Robin sized immediately after the pit. Like understand that this is the vibe when Jason was trying to blow up the Batmobile:

[livingdeadbat]

His feet didnt even touch the floor... baby... he was so tiny when he was trying to blow up the batmobile 🥹

[nyahsworld14]

"Why is Jason fighting Tim as a grown man?"

"Why is Jason fighting Mia as a grown man?"

Bitch they are in the same age cohort they would have been in high school at the same time.
