#I’ll be updating this list as I read instead of updating my bio just to keep myself organized #yes Duke is the only one I am willing to read any of the N52 comics for because I’m not touching the rest of N52 with a 38294893 foot poll #so when I say everything with *insert character* know I mean everything excluding N52 #I’ll also be adding Marvel stuff to this list although you may not see me posting about it — I haven’t decided yet

“fandom etiquette” people when you tell them that the racism and misogyny that is intertwined in their fandom practices/communities/the media they enjoy should be critically examined and treated like a genuine issue that reinforces systemic biases and oppression rather than ignored to preserve their perception that they don’t have to take responsibility for their part in perpetuating racism + misogyny

I feel like the batkids would get into bird watching as a joke but would legitimately get into it as a hobby and freak out if they see a rare or uncommon bird on patrol.

given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that

sometimes you will see a joke circulate within a fandom and at first it's all fun and games but then the slow and terrible realization starts to seep in that this will become in fact a widely-accepted way to read a specific situation between characters that were subject of said joke and there is nothing you can do about it but to watch the horrors unfold in real time

do you know if we can still participate in dcblackout? is it like just officially over but unofficially ppl are still doing it? or does that not count :(((

personally i don't have any respect or sympathy for anyone who continues to give DC money after this. the organiser may have cancelled the boycott due to backlash from nonblack fans who were angry at not being centered for once, but this does not mean we should just shrug our shoulders & continue forking out money for mediocre releases from a company that refuses to make a commitment to Black creators and fans.

if you care about supporting Black creatives, seek out comics & graphic novels made by Black creators with publishers like Dark Horse, Image, Boom Studios, etc (please note that the creatives at Dark Horse are currently unionising & you can support their efforts here!) i know that some people still want to support DC releases made by Black creatives such as Jamal Campbell; i understand their reasoning, though i will not personally be supporting any DC projects. i would just urge people to keep their personal values in mind & consider the Black people in their community before they pull and/or buy any DC releases or renew their DCU Infinite subscriptions. and if people do continue to support DC, i don't want to see them acting like victims if Black people don't like or trust them.

Anyone alleging dcblackout was homophobic for planning the boycott during pride month is so ridiculous to me. Not even just ideologically, but also basic financial sense???

DC releases a bunch of extra comics and specials during pride months. These are specifically targeting the “progressive” section of their fan base. DCBlackOut is also hoping to rely on that exact subset of fans.

Pride specials, can mean a lot to people, but DC is still a company and they are still products. To hit DC where it hurts (their bottom line), and most effectively utilise participating demographic of DCBlackOut, setting the boycott during Pride Month is THE best choice.

(To clarify I am not saying that DCBlackOut was deliberately positioned to happen in June. What I am saying is that the timing was fortuitous, and watching all the so-called progressives crawl out the woodwork to bemoan this under the guise of “allyship” has been very disappointing.)

the fact that the creator of the dcblackout was essentially bullied out of the boycott just because other people are getting books is disgusting. people said “i don’t care that black characters/writers aren’t getting books because there are gay people getting books” and we’re supposed to act like that’s not insanely racist

timothy the teetotaler kills me. hes a DARE kid. dumping out his roommates alcohol and threatens to get him expelled. i know he acts like someones pulled a gun whenever they take out a joint and it will never not be funny. his idol is dick "lets all try cocaine!" grayson.

deadchannelradio

i know dick saw tim very gingerly pick up a dime bag o'weed one time like with his very fingertips trying not to touch The Substance Itself inside of the bag and was like Oh i cannot speak of my life

deadchannelradio

and tim'll get better but he's never gonna not be weird. its not helped that the one time he tried weed he had a panic attack and had to breathe into a paper bag for like 4 hours until he passed out. its hard to be weed normal when weed makes you abnormal.

deadchannelradio

i know the reveal to tim is totally accidental and like reflexive it's probably dick's thing where he id's drugs by tasting them they're on some kind of bust or recon mission and tim's like hey... do you think this is cocaine or heroin? and dicks like 'thats coke for sure lemme see' and just sticks his finger in there and puts it in his mouth and tims like. NIGHTWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then they look at each other in silent horror for like 10 seconds before dick's like. '...its cocaine.'

deadchannelradio

tims trying to get him to leslies hes like COCAINE CAN GIVE YOU A HEART ATTACK THE SECOND IT HITS YOUR BLOODSTREAM ARE YOU HAVING A HEART ATTACK DO WE NEED TO GO TO THE CLINIC and dick is trying to deescalate the situation before tim tells bruce and ruins dick's entire year and keeps making it worse. robin this amount of cocaine will not kill me ive done way more cocaine than that "YOU WHAT!" it's barely even a kick i promise "YOURE ADDICTED TO COCAINE??" NO i just- i dont- it's been- at parties- "WHAT KIND OF PARTIES ARE YOU GOING TO????" NORMAL ONES.
