Jaderoy, Donnaroy and Dickroy the big three

A lot of cis people (particularly cis women) and even some trans people use benign "All men bad" rhetoric to slyly be transphobic towards trans men in particular but i dont think the world is ready for this discussion

raven's mom was probably mad as hell that they didn't have psychedelic music on azarath

the fab 5 being all in the same vaguely homogenous age group is sooo important to me. them loving each other SO much. them being just as helpless as each other when it comes to being able to do something to help one of them. none of them have authority over each other outside the field. their friends' lives are falling apart but so is theirs and it dictates their reaction to their friends' breakdowns. they yell at each other and say cruel things when they confront each other. it hurts even worse when one of them says the cruel thing because they were supposed to understand. they're all trying their best to support each other but there's only so much a fellow teenager with their own baggage can do. only so much a fellow teenager with their own problems and unresolved biases and anger and sadness and desperation can do for someone they love so much when sometimes they don't even want to be helped. they all really were just kids together. they've meticulously sutured each other's wounds in the field and randomly played red light-green light when they were bored one evening.

YOU GET ITTTTT YOU GET IT THEY WERE JIST KIDS. They were all kids and they were hurting in their own ways and a long time from now they’ll look back on these days as the simple ones but that doesn’t mean things didn’t hurt. It just means that at the end of the day, they always knew the others would be there for them, and always knew that they had friends. So they got hurt and they had a million problems but then they’d eat a pizza and laugh together.

They were all sidekicks. They all stood in the shadows of people they didn’t know if they could live up to, but they were in the shadows together. They understood what it was like, being them, in a way no one else can. These kids man

rank the titans from most to least victim ? for me ?

I will rank them based on. My intuition 🙂‍↕️ and which ones I have something to say about. Also disclaimer I am not a hardcore fan of all these guys these are just what I got from reading them

Raven. I debated on whether Koriand’r should get this spot but I think that you could at least plausibly do Koriand’r’s backstory without sexual abuse, even if it would be not good. Raven if you take out all the gothic incest themes in her character… what the fuck is left. Like every Raven plot that I’ve read revolves around her being a child of rape, being raped, or raping other people while mind controlled by her father or whatever the fuck that plot was. She bags the first spot effortlessly

Tara Markov. Her story, if you ignore the fuckass Marv Wolfman of it all, revolves around her exploitation at the hands of a man several decades her senior. Her entire character, to me, is a meditation on how we treat unpleasant victims and the psychology of people who think they’re beyond helping. She’s so dear to my heart and any attempt to remove Slade SAing her from the story is a crime.

Dick Grayson. He is a canonical SA victim, otherwise he would be in fourth. As I type this I’m dilly-dallying over whether I think he actually deserves the third place but I’m gonna give it to him because it’s not that serious. I’m gonna be honest, when I talk about him being a SA victim I’m almost always thinking about the rape subtext (and canonical emotional incest) between him and Bruce, but whoever you think the perpetrator was, it’s something that if you consider it it is. So woven into his character. Everything about him screams grooming victim, and his trauma shows up in so many little aspects of his character that it’s kind of impressive it was done accidentally. Also the Liu arc sucks so bad but is a deeply visceral depiction of the aftermath of abuse and everyone who can stomach the racism should read it.

This might be controversial but I’m going to make Koriand’r and Grant Emerson share fourth place. They’re both canonical rape victims who’s abuse is thematically important, and while Grant loses points for his CSA being retconned in I think Kori loses points because often when reading her it felt like her own writers forgot she was a sex slave or just like… did not think it was something that had an impact on her. Overall in my heart their abuse is of the same importance

Victor Stone. The loss of autonomyyyyyyy it’s fucking killing me. POV you are used as a science experiment and socially isolated from your peers and then your dad remakes your body in an explicitly traumatic way. I’m rephrasing my recent post about him, you’ve seen it, just know he is soooo abused to me. Very victim

Donna Troy. So this is a very tentative rating, because I don’t actually know how old she was when Terry met. If she was 18, then Terry is a creep obviously but I wouldn’t call what I saw nonconsensual. Sucky! Shouldn’t have happened! But. Overall 🤷. If she WAS under 18: Ough. The panel in her wedding issue where she says she feels like a little girl when marrying him haunts me, someone save her

Wally West. I don’t know him but the secret keeping with Barry is giving. Very not good. Also some of my mutuals think he was molested and I trust them.

Who am I missing uhhhh Garth! Garth has potential. There’s a lot of stuff with him and Arthur’s power imbalance.

Roy Harper. He’s only on this list because I enjoy making him suffer. There’s the thing with Ollie but the thing with Ollie is not something I seriously think happened.

Oh Mia Dearden was a Titan! Right obviously being sexually abused is a huge part of her backstory. She’s so low on this list because I literally only remembered her at 10. I don’t read gen 3

Garfield Logan is half the reason the girls on this list are on this list

being gen z i am Also not a big fan of the revival of sexual conservatism amongst my age bracket. but i also think its insane that some people believe this is

unique to gen z

universal to gen z

like i remember at my high school graduation one guy gave this big speech about how it was Our Job To Fix The World! it was up to us now to solve climate change and everything! which annoyed the hell out of me for a number of reasons, the major one being that we were a bunch of 18 year olds. this was a grown man. talking about so many extremely complex issues which fundamentally require solidarity amongst so many people, across generations, long-term, to "fix."

its an extension of how ageism dehumanizes children by projecting "innocence" onto them, depriving them of the right to be messy and imperfect and growing humans, turning them into objects that adults can project a desire for purity and salvation onto. it connects directly to the belief that social progress is inevitable, that younger generations will be more accepting and intelligent not because of intergenerational efforts to strive for a better world but because young people are supposed to make up for all the mistakes of their parents through that intrinsic "innocence."

and then, when that illusion inevitably shatters, when young people are people with flaws and anxieties and normal human issues, when it becomes clear that the youth will not save the previous generations from everything in the world they are scared and ashamed of, the ageism doesn't go away. it transmogrifies. the "innocence" of youth is reimagined as young people (particularly teenagers) being a corrupting force, no longer the embodiment of adult hopes but adult fears.

tl;dr yes, puritanism amongst young people is a problem, racism and misogyny and conservatism in general amongst young people is a problem. because young people are people in a puritanistic, racist, misogynistic, conservative society. stop waiting for young people to solve all the world's issues and get some fucking intergenerational solidarity in your life.

"this suicidal person is so stupid for believing nobody will miss them. i remember people i haven't talked to in years lol"

ok but are you present in their life enough for them to realize that?

[beef-estrogenoff-deactivated-de]

we can all say after the fact that we cared for our friend who committed or disappeared or whatever. we can even mean it when we say it. we can think about them. but did we ever act on it? did we ever even make them feel like we were there? "nobody would care if i disappeared" is not a literal phrase. of course they know that people would care. what the phrase conveys is a deep sense of alienation that can't be mended by implying stupidity on their part.

[learn-how-to-love]

At this point I view the use of the term “TWERF” as a dog whistle/indicator of anti-transmasculine beliefs because it relies on the false notion that there is the existence of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists that include trans men/mascs in their radical feminism while excluding trans women/fems. No, it is not “inclusion” to misgender us as poor wombanly wombyn they need to rescue from “gender ideology”, just because they say they’re totally pro our rights (just while actively taking away our ability to transition and present as ourselves). Is it “inclusion” when TERFs sort transfems into the “man” group, because they personally believe them to be men? No? Then why is it considered so when we are sorted into the “women” group? We are both fundamentally denied our actual identity in pursuit of the cisgender binary, or in other terms, “excluded” from their version of radical feminism. Coincidentally, this is also why radical feminism can never be redeemed as a movement when trans inclusionary, because as it turns out splitting the world’s population into half and projecting a unified view of gender dynamics into each arbitrary group in ignorance of the reality subgroups within each face is Bad, Actually, even if you shuffle around where you put (ostensively binary) trans people in the mix.

Teachers get to use the rhetoric of a dad who ‘was really really stressed from work when he hit his kid’ but because they’re not allowed to physically put hands on their students it’s totally okay. Everyone knows that children are never affected by authority figures screaming at them

my cat growls every time anyone she doesn’t know approaches our house. The nefarious fed ex man is here to pilfer our great fortress

[yaoigaysexaura]

you can't say "stop making everything about men" about a group of marginalised people who have been historically erased and never centered in any conversations that affect them. that is erasure. you are perpetuating the system that leads to these people being trafficked, raped, and killed without ever being remembered as more than a "tragic woman"

[transmasc-theory]

I think the situation where trans men are now banned from all public bathrooms in the UK is a perfect summation of transandrophobia.

It happened in broad daylight. It was telegraphed ahead of time; TERFs were very clear they wanted trans men removed from public life entirely. Yet during the entire lead-up, and even since then, people have erased transmascs completely from the conversation, saying they weren't in danger like transfemmes are, and in fact alleging that transmascs enjoyed a measure of protection from TERFs, who allegedly just see them as confused little girls they want to protect.

And while people were busy being useful idiots and spreading TERF propaganda for them, while people were busy actively denying the threat to transmascs, TERFs made it so transmascs can be excluded from any public bathroom in the UK.

That's transandrophobia in a nutshell. Trans men don't die in the spotlight, they die in the shadows, and are told they're privileged for their quiet, out-of-sight deaths.
