what is very annoying about the vast majority of batfam fans is the very surface level approach they take towards calling out racism in dc canon and fandom. yes, you want damian to be brown in the comics but do you care about how his mother’s character was butchered due to post 9/11 anti-arab racism? yes, you want cass and duke to be featured more prominently in comics but would you be okay with them displacing your own faves in order to do so? do you even read the comics they ARE featured in, or are you content with just reblogging their one panel cameos from your fave’s solos, extolling how much you “love” them (so long as they are second fiddle, that is)? you want jason or dick (whichever you prefer) to co-parent lian, all the while sidelining jade - you are content relegating jade and talia and shado and shiva to a joking “assassin moms” punchline when you talk about their kids while not realising the implications of their race and how it plays into their portrayal by dc.

you can’t just reblog a vague post about colouring damian correctly and wanting representation and then uncritically reblog another post about how evil his mother is - you’re playing into the exact same racism you claim to denounce, while feeling like you’re being so very progressive while doing it. it’s not like i’m expressing a particularly novel sentiment either, and i’m aware i probably sound like a broken record right now but it’s just so irritating

at the last comic book club i did baffle everyone by saying i sort and read my weekly issues from worst to best so that i start out at the lowest satisfactory option and am motivated to continue by the good storytelling at the bottom of the pile. this was novel to literally everyone there. which surprised me bc i feel like? that’s the logical way to do it? how else am i supposed to motivate myself here. have you read mid comics before.

people do know that like, outside of gotham/batman, Helena has been a respected hero many times over? She was on the justice league twice before she ever joined the bop. She teamed up with Black Canary a few times. Sure, most of her appearances in the nineties are in gotham, so it will get overshadowed by Batman’s constant unreasonable disdain, but she’s got just as much right to heroism as anyone - she just mostly stays in gotham due to that relentless, protective, deeply personal connection to gotham that in some cases runs even deeper than Bruce’s own.
