I just found the thread, but I think my roommate is gonna head to bed soon, so I’ll probably be starting it tomorrow in-between/after some cleaning.

But ahhHHHHHH I’M SO EXCITED if this game can make me love any of the new characters as much as I love Sakura and Chihiro and Asahina… ; w ;

#racism #slurs 

I also have never actually read her run on Nightwing (or… any of Nightwing, tbh…) so I had to ask a pal and this is what she said:

She made his heritage “exotic.” Instead of being an actual thing, it was brought up to reinforce his otherness. Also she used the word ‘g*psy’ every chance she got and well… that’s a slur. It’d be like calling a black character the n-word.

She could have shown more of his backstory and made his Rom heritage something that he talks about/deals with. Heck, she could have had him dealing with some kind of racism for his features. And like in her book Inheritance, while she calls him the g-word like 2-3 times, she doesn’t actually talk about his heritage.

ways dg could have done better: flashbacks, dick mentioning his heritage, talking abt memories, staying on the artists’ asses.

So…. Yeah. :///

Oh, haha, that was pretty brief!!

Ren used to be six feet, but I changed it but he’s still p tall. Mixed race (white/filipino) but he only knows the white side of his family. Also smokes, but his artistic abilities are pretty non-existent. He’s smart, soaks up information like a sponge, and adores small children with every fiber of his being. / u \

Hates adults tho. Hates a lot of things, and he’s got a lot of anger in him.

Sexuality is a shrug and maybe an annoyed look.

Yes, but don’t forget that race is more than skin color! Some people of color can be “white passing”, and heck there’s a long history of mixed-race people being considered “non-white” no matter what the color of their skin, just because a parent or grandparent or great-grandparent, etc. wasn’t white. And not all white people are the same shade of “so white they skip tan and burn red,” yknow.

I think a few times me and my best-friend/roommate, who is white, have compared limbs we found that we were pretty darn close.

Whoops, sorry, I forgot to answer this yesterday.

“People of color” refers to any non-white person, and according to wiki was introduced to replace both “non-white” and “minority.” :) So yes, light-skinned Asians would definitely be considered POC.

#mentions/discussion of abuse, rape, transphobia and violence against trans* people #long post

Short answer: Yes, we’re all human, but we sure as hell are not all treated the same. Some of us aren’t even treated as humans.

Long answer:

I agree that pitting one gender against another doesn’t help, but that’s not what people promoting and fighting gender equality are trying to do. They’re trying to make the group with privilege (in this case, cisgender people, and especially cisgender males) recognize their privilege and how the inequalities between us is not only unfair, but leads to abuse, poverty, inadequate health care (if any), homelessness, rape, and so on.

I’m not really sure what you’re referring to when you talk about gender groups being pitted against each other, but what springs to mind is, y’know, trans* people talking about how much they hate cis people or making jokes (“i thought i saw a cisgender before but it was actually old cheese” or whatever) which isn’t anything at all like the rapes/beatings/murders/discriminatory legislation that trans* people often face at the hands of cis people.

Or even like all that ~men’s rights~ bullshit where some dudes complain about being expected to pay for dinners and having their masculinity tied to physical strength, etc. Like??? MRA vs Feminism isn’t really pitting one against the other, but literally just a group of privileged people enraged and upset at the idea of being called misogynists and any insinuation that they need to change their behavior.

I hope this makes sense. But yeah, I don’t really know what you mean by that statement.

In any case, what is important to remember is that the differences in each of our experiences can’t be trivialized. Yeah, sure, we’re all human, but do we encourage men to take rape aggression defense classes? Do cis people feel unsafe every time they use a public restroom because they don’t know if someone will hurt them? Yeah, men and boys can be raped too and yes, they’re less likely to report it, but are the societal gender roles and expectations that cause this ones that harm men more than they do women (as in the idea that men are strong while women are weak; the idea that being penetrated is weak and emasculating)?

Yeah, we’re all human, but why, then, are some of us treated like less than that? Why are some genders treated like oddities? Why is strength more associated with some over others? Why do cis women in the elite business world have to take on more masculine traits and habits to be taken seriously (shoulder pads were apparently created to give women a more “broad” and thus more masculine appearance; women are given tips to appear more dominant aka masculine to succeed in business, etc)?

I mean I could really go on and on.

Hope that answers your question.

Haha, thanks buddy. I try!

Jsyk, I finally decided to make a separate porn blog for irl porn, so you won’t really be seeing that here anymore. Basically fandom nsfw work and stuff will be here, and everything else will go over there.

looks like you’re gonna have to try, buddy

It gets burnt by acid in issue 17 of RHATO and the cover to issue 19 shows it completely missing. It looks way worse than it did in the actual issue though so there is still hope he might have a face. You can view the full cover at bleeding cool or hell just google it.

??

I’m not really sure why you sent this, Anon. I said yesterday that I think RHatO is shit and don’t read it, so.

But yeah I saw the cover back when it was first making the rounds on tumblr. I thought he might have had his face actually cut off by the Joker when I read Batman 17, but nope.

I guess it’ll be interesting to see if his face is permanently damaged, but the Jason in RHatO isn’t the Jason I care about, so.

No problem! The original code was missing a LOT of stuff, but I don’t remember exactly what, so I’m just going to give you the entire footer code that I have and you can go ahead and take what you need.
