i think the raven being jesus/being around for jesus theory is really funny even though the timeline doesnt add up at all, especially cause hes always hanging out with asuka who dresses like that you know... its like

raven: oh uh asuka i see youre wearing a lot of crosses and rosicrucian stuff

asuka: yeah my faith is very important to me

raven: oh cool, cool. that was me.

asuka:

raven: that was me. i did that.

asuka: dude what

raven: yeah i got crucified back in the day but i walked it off. a lot of people freaked out.

asuka: go like this (holds his arms out). damn he's right....

hey fun fact. karma's first appearance was in 1980. she was pretty clearly an older teenager with young siblings she was looking after. same with her appearances in early new mutants. jubilee was also introduced as an older-ish teenager in 1989. jubes karma is older than you. where am i

Man, you know, seeing the energy people are putting into pushing back against the boycott has been pretty illuminating. You can pull as a bunch of different threads, qualify things, split hairs about what does and doesn't count. But at the end of the day, the point is that the publisher does not have a vested interest in varied, multicultural representation.

And that sucks, as a long time comic reader.

My entire life I've enjoyed stories about people that in no way reflect me or my experience, because that's most of what there was to pull from. If I want to see myself, I have a couple options every now and again, and I better hope I like the writing and characters enough. There will always be comics about White men. Always. One getting cancelled or selling poorly will not change that reality, nor will the conclusion be "Well, nobody wants to buy books about White characters."

But the implication that it's on *me as the consumer* to buy every Black led-book ever to make sure they try again in 5-7 years maybe is insane. DC caters to a certain demographic because they want them to buy their books. Why would a demographic that is not consistently, meaningfully included, keep showing up?

Really, what bothers me the most is the reminder the fanbase they've cultivated isn't simply not one that resembles me, but actively doesn't want to see me present. You can only be reminded of that so many times before you decide it's time to move on. I'm stubborn for personal reasons, ideas I'm invested in and the like. But I think I've become pretty sour on this whole slice of the hobby.

"We didn't cook anything for you" is different than "we don't want you here" and both in the same sentence is hard to come back from.
