I think we, as a fandom, do not acknowledge how fucked up and borderline torturous it is that Jason is expected to live in the same city as the Joker.
In almost every Fic where he reconciles and “recovers” and refrains from killing and all of that bullshit that fundamentally changes him as a person. He’s told the Joker is in Arkham and that is the best he’ll ever get.
Arkham. Fucking Arkham. Arkham that the Joker walks in and out of like it’s his holiday house.
Jason is expected to live and function in Gotham with the knowledge that the Joker could come after him once again, if he wanted to.
Jason wanting to be free from his murderer is not selfish. It’s not asking too much.
Jason wants to be safe, and saying he should live in Gotham while the Joker is still alive is so far from that it isn’t funny.
Jason Todd is the victim. He’s just not the type of victim people like to talk about.
