dick is constantly made to be the prime example of how dc is shit when it comes to male rape survivors and continues to either make them the but of the joke or hypersexualise them

i've already talked about how hbo changed the name in a gag they made abt tarantula raping nightwing - making him out to be whiny and implying no one cared about what happened

and now theyre continuing to hypersexualise him apparently making it a "major plot point" in season 4

was a fan of this show for how they changed ivys character from the sexualised female rapist to a chill, clothed, eco-terrorist activist that isnt a rapist (honestly one of the only iterations i can stand watching her in as it isnt insanely triggering like most of the dcau versions)

but whats the point if they continue to maintain the narrative that male survivors are constantly a joke? that theyre weak, whiny, annoying? that no one cares? honestly shame on dc- again

but they expect us to believe match been this same nigga the whole time

making miss martian and superboy canon after like? 5 years? since the young justice show is crazy. plus how badly people hated them together after the first season like how bored are they in the writers room

mostly though i already hated how they adressed m'ganns mindfuckery with kon to like coerce/control him into staying in the relationship. very "i dont like it but im jealous you moved on lets get back together" i feel it was never properly addresses.

and with how often superboys been groomed in comics / has just had godawful relationships i dont expect the writers to properly portray the nuances of a relationship that needs to rebuild trust & boundaries at all

plus i dont even like miss martian like At All but i feel for her fans rn. dc's horrible track record with female characters im sure m'ganns just gonna get watered down into 'connor's girlfriend' and "__'s girl" is not a fate id wish on my worst enemys fave

dc already makes fun of male rape survivors so often - ex. damien telling bruce he bad taste in women then saying this

and now, although they updated it in the show thank god, the hbo harley series making a joke out of dicks trauma with tarantula [short explanation tweet here]

even mentioning blockbuster SPECIFICALLY, they knew exactly what they were alluding to

its so fucking disappointing to see dc promote heros as inspirations then takes a very real and serious trauma men and boys who look up to them have - a real lived experience- and make it a fucking joke just mocking us

and the fandom is no better either making jokes about the assaults, blaming the victim characters for it, making excuses for the abuser characters, or jumping people who dont like the abusers like it genuinely makes me sick

tt sc's stolen from my mutual idk if theyd want me to put their @ or not
