I like DC characters; I just hate DC
Please also tag for Fabian Nicieza and Grant Morrison, as well as the issue numbers of the arcs in which they both butchered Jason's characterization, as well as for typical trigger warnings. I am very serious about this- I unfollow people who don't fucking tag.
I am likewise willing to tag for anything. I do my best to tag for anything that might generally be a problem for someone, but if I'm posting something you need to Savior, just drop me an ask and I'll do my best.

I’ll miss “Amy sells out,” but I think this one really more reflects my usual blogging. Thanks for letting me steal the phrasing, Saph.

I miss when Connor was brown…
I miss when Connor existed. But yeah, the whitewashing bullshit they pulled with him was just… ugh. So gross.
Yeah, I mean really, I really liked that Connor was this Brown, mix-raced, sexually-orientation-ambigious superarcher. I really wish they would bring him back, he was one of the more complex characters. *sigh* Oh DC.
*nods* He was really just so great. He was really just so unique. And adorable. Such a goddamn dork, and I love him so much for it.
Bah, maybe I am just being nostalgic, but I really miss the innovation and the dynamic thinking behind character creation in the 90s. I feel like Connor and Kyle were two of my favorite characters to come out of that, and I wish that I could see more of them in the spotlight. Plus, Storm had a mohawk. *shrugs*
Honestly, aside from terrible costume design, the ’90s and early 2000s were really pretty great. More diversity, more variety in books, more lighthearted stuff, more depth vs. cheap plotlines… I like some characters and books that only came about later, but as a whole, the 90s and early 2000s were really damn great.
Agreed! Do you remember CrossGen Comics?? Here was a whole company that did fictional comics that were not superhero genre at all! And they were pretty big before they ultimately went under/Marvel bought them.
I wish to see that and/or that more indy comics had flash like that. I also miss Milestone Comics, even though they were superhero.
Also, I start to feel old when I say things like “Back in my day, comics were comics and we had diversity and what not in them!” ‘Cause, y’know, I just turned 27 and I’m getting sensitive about it. (Not really.)
Haha. I am actually a bitty 19-year-old who only started getting into comics around the time 52 was ending. I’ve just discovered back issues, and found that old comics are usually way better than the new stuff. But no, I don’t really know anything about CrossGen.
Ooh! Lemme show you the ways of my nerdom then! CrossGen was great!
Although not racially diverse, they had these great titles that were all part of a shared universe! The universe was linked by the symbol and each planet or world had a different kind of subgenre of comics. There was a classic sword and sorcery, urbanish fantasy, a journey, ect, ect. They went out of business in 2004 and Disney bought them but they are filled with great ideas!
Go check them out if you can! They’re amazing!
Oh, interesting! Perhaps I shall, then! Thanks!

- Admit you’re wrong.
- Apologize
- Don’t do it again.
- Call out others.
instead of
- making up excuses
- saying that person hurt your feelings when they called you out
Don’t “apologize for offending” people. That’s rude and dismissive.
Don’t compare your experience to what you’re being called out for if you cannot experience that type of oppression. Choking on a grape seed is not the same as being assaulted.
Don’t try to shift blame to other people, especially the victim.
Don’t use a token “_____” friend as justification.
Don’t be an asshole. It’s that simple. Pull up your big kid britches and move on.
