#stereotyping

[randomasfuk]

Okay, something that’s been pissing me off recently is the whole “Dick Grayson is a whore” thing. He absolutely is not. He has explicitly said so in the past (see the panels at the bottom of the post), and what pisses me off even more is people dismissing criticism of this as just “fanon mischaracterization.”

Him being portrayed as a whore is becoming canon now. I could be wrong on the timing, but it definitely seems more prevalent since he was canonized as Romani. And, conveniently, that just so happens to align with a massive Romani stereotype. Maybe it’s a coincidence, but it’s annoying as hell, whether it’s fanon or canon.

It’s the same way people reduce Damian to some rabid, violent creature that bites—another stereotype, this time about Arab people. It’s been pissing me off lately.

Tim and Bruce are the family whores, not Dick. In canon, he’s attractive and charismatic, but that doesn’t mean he’s a slut.

Can we please, for the love of whatever the hell you believe in, stop copy-pasting racial stereotypes onto characters? I don’t care if it’s unintentional. Stop it.

Reminder not to stereotype kintypes.

Just because one is a fox does not mean they're as happy and playful as one.

Just because one is a rabbit does not mean they're a cute, cuddly, soft bunny.

Just because one is a bird does not mean they're sad to be earth-bound.

Just because one is a wolf does not mean they have "two sides/personalities" while shifting.

Just because one is a cat does not mean they are faking alterhumanity, or in their "Warrior Cat phase"

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean that we do quads.

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean we have gear.

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean we are lean, strong, and Caucasian.

Just because one is a nonhuman does not mean we express our alterhumanity in eccentric ways.

Every nonhuman is valid as fuck. From the smallest mouse, to the largest whale, everything in between, you are valid.

Do you think stereotypes are inherently bad?

Yes, all stereotypes are bad

Most of the time, but not every stereotype is bad

Some are, some aren't

It depends on what you do with them/how you allow them to influence you

No, people are just exaggerating about how bad stereotypes are

No, media just wants you to believe stereotypes are bad

"Bu-But you can't talk against something you write about-"

Sorry I'm not your perfect rape victim stereotype. There's different varieties of ways of coping with an assault and everyone's feeling are different because we're all individuals and we all use different forms of therapy.

Some "self-care" methods are actually very toxic and dangerous like hypersexuality after assault which is something we rarely even speak up as a trauma response.

And before some "antishitter" talks I'm both a victim and former professional on the subject which is why I know more about different coping mechanisms and how it affects different people individually.

We're not cookie cutter for your assumptions of how victims should be.

Just like I've said that I'm not here to fit the Perfect Invalid Stereotype, I'm also not going to be The Perfect Victim Stereotype.

Strangely the ones that harass me, were stereotyping me based on very limited knowledge of the experience.

Also not all victims are sex repulsed. They can be repulsed at having it done to them without consent or like me.

I loath being touched by strangers without consent. I actually have physically violent reflexes when it happens which has gotten me trouble. So that's another stereotype down.

And I can write whatever I want including the horrors of sex. Because there's two sides of each coin. And there's indeed many horrors and emotions attached to this. It's not always emptiness and pleasure. It's sometimes pain in every sense from emotional to physical.

Sex can be beautiful and disgustingly ugly and that's what can make it horrifying. (To some it can even be seen as completely lackluster and uninteresting, especially regarding the physicality of it. Which is also another valid response)

This duality can affect anyone from the sex repulsed to the sex positive.

Now I sound like I'm gonna start quoting the Hellbound Heart (which is a favorite by the way)

It seems to me that some people REALLY want the deadly sins in the Hellaverse to be overly negative stereotypes of whatever sins they represent.

First they complained about Ozzie having standards and boundaries for consent because he's the embodiment of lust. Even though lust shouldn't have to be forced and consent is the bare minimum, as Ozzie said himself. You can be horny without being a fucking rapist.

Then they hated how Lucifer is a misunderstood goofy good guy not only because he embodies pride, but because he's Lucifer himself. Nevermind the fact that the Hellaverse's versions of Lucifer and Satan are two completely seperate characters, and that's been established way before Satan was even introduced in Mastermind.

Now they're bitching about Bee being disgusted with Mammon's table manners. (Yes, THAT'S the part she was disgusted by, not the fact that he was eating at all.) Even in her debut episode they were asking why she isn't obese. (It's because her torso is basically a lava lamp which gives her a high metabolism.) And gluttony itself isn't just about eating. It also involves over-indulgence, and Bee being a hard partying alcoholic who encourages people to get drunk (although not completely wasted either since she was concerned about Blitzø) and eat junk food, which is exactly what her introduction song Cotton Candy is all about.

With the exception of Mammon and Satan, all the deadly sins we've seen so far are supposed to represent the POSITIVE side of their sins. For as much as Viv antis accuse her of stereotyping people, they sure do love indulging in stereotypes themselves.
