The destruction of Gaza, by USA weapons.

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

#this is what I was talking about when I said the stories y’all ‘want’ are already written #u LOVE Duke but can only explore the no metas rules through ur white faves fanon boyfriends? #u LOVE cass but only explore an assasin breaking their training through talon dick aus? #u LOVE Damian but can only explore the league through the relationship u made up or exacerbated between Ra’s and Tim or Jason? #like u lie to urselves when u justify why u just can’t get into these characters bc every hc and au u have is already there but they’re not #white enough for u to care #the Duke foster care post is a perfect example lmao #and also the tags on that post about how y’all make up leftist ideals or racists for ur white faves to punch whilst ignoring who’d actually #exemplify it most bc ur not willing to challenge ur own racism enough to decenter urself in the story #also that reblog saying I thought the lían thing was a cute WFA whatever the fuck #WFA is literally a culmination of all of this #Like WFA Is the physical embodiment of the fandoms racism and misogyny and if u can’t tell by how they write these characters ur part of the #problem I fear #it started when they first wrote Duke going ‘wow’ at a flip 😭

#I’m rooting for everyone black #so if it’s smth like GW I’ll dip in and out but shit like the hill I’m locked the fuck in #it’s more complex but that’s like the root #also I’m still catching up to everyone else soooo #also making a new pact not to read any comics with whitewashed characters released post like 2020 it’s ridiculous atp #yes this includes Batman and Robin I’m not reading that shit #it’s tim Drake with Damian’s name #it’s giving tim from The animated series literally just being Jason #also a mutual recommended hellboy might start there entirely #like I’m so serious anything that continues to draw Damian that pale with that hair? i don’t give a shit and I will be ignoring his #characterization in it bc I did read some of it #and another mutual put it perfectly #they’re making him palatable by giving him more proximity to whiteness #see his relationship with Bruce and Nika #like the concept of Damian having a girlfriend or better relationship with Bruce is not inherently bad #but the way they’re executed is sooo boring and unimaginative and it’s just like #trying to make u like a Damian that doesn’t exist bc it’s failing to actually grapple with things like WHY Bruce and Damian’s relationship I #is so fucked or how arrogance wouldn’t be the root issue Damian would have with a romantic partner #also I can’t hate on nika as a character bc she’s not one to me #like it’s just boring sad goth girl 5 #like sorry it feels like they wanted damirae realized it would be weird and created nika #no hate to her there’s like nothing to hate #Tara markov did it better #maybe I just yearn for the older comics #well there’s ur answer #anyways her powers are cool that’s kinda it #wow tangent my answer is one or two at a time depending on who decides to give a fuck about black people this month

Why am I listening to mediocre slam poetry about not fitting in with white people and student debt at one of these Ghazzah student encampment rallies.

Begging you to remember who you're fighting for here.

I was bored a while back and made the MLB characters using the Black OC maker on Picrew

Marinette: Proud to be Blasian, still tense when she gets weird looks/Dyed her hair because she wanted to be Coraline for Halloween, now she just likes the color

Adrien: Black mom, white dad, identity crisis/Gabriel’s still a dick and wants Adrien to be a “Good Black.”/Usually always on the receiving end of light skin jokes

Alya: The same, just with bigger hair/The Queen of Hoop Earrings/One TikTok account for general stuff, the other just to post videos of her and her friends dancing and stepping

Nino: Undoing Gabriel’s influence on his bro and helping him embrace his blackness/You did NOT hear him listening to Robin Thicke/Starts every Shabooya Roll Call

Chloé: Bad and bougie/Identity crisis on a count of she was adopted as a baby to make her white parents look good/Will only let Marc and Juleka style her hair

Sabrina: Only knows English because she listens to Megan Thee Stallion religiously/Scarily good at break dancing

Juleka: So goth, she was born black/Favorite movies in order: Get Out, Candyman, The Blackening, Us, Karen, and Ma/A pro at doing hair

Rose: Will punt you if you make a “Not Black enough” comment/Not fond of how hospitals treat black patients. She’s had first-hand experience, and it wasn’t great/Excited for the Tiana series

Luka: Doesn’t say much, but when he does, it’s insightful as hell/He can’t see, but it adds to the mystery, so he keeps his hair like that/Imagine Johan from Black-ish

Nathaniel: Black Panther, Storm, Spider Man, Cyborg, Vixen, Bumble Bee, and Static Shock comics lining his shelves/The definition of Blerd/Surprisingly good at stepping

Alix: “Scar twins!” “But your scar is-“ “Shut up! Scar twins!”/Classroom solidarity by shielding her from others when her hijab slips off/She and Nath tag the city by putting stickers with images of historical women of color everywhere

Marc: He’s the one braiding his classmates’ hair/Hates how black people are written in most shows and movies/Scarily good at rapping. Do NOT try to challenge him to a rap battle, you will be humiliated

Kim: Always swimming, so he constantly has his hair braided or in twists/“Yes, I’m black and I can swim.”/Worships Beyoné in his spare time

Max: The same, but with vitiligo and a fancy tie/Not selling the patents for any of his inventions. He’s not risking any companies purposely leaving out that he’s the brilliant mind behind any of them

Lila: She will never lie about Oprah. That’s where she crosses the line/Competing for Alya's title as Queen of Hoop Earrings

Ivan: You know those videos where the white baby leans over to see what the black guy is watching on his phone and then holds his hand? He’s the black guy/Worried about looking too "threatening"

Myléne: Constantly promoting black-owned businesses on her socials/Most likely to lead a protest/HATES Rachel Dolezal… Actually, they all hate her

#OUGH #CANON TO MEEEE #IF IM TALKING ABOUT MIRACULOUS ASSUME ITS ABOUT THIS #OH #yknow that thing where ppl said they had dreams about getting pregnant or being married or whatever #and when they woke up there was fried bc it wasn’t real #this is how I feel about this #grief that it isn’t canon #WDYMMMMMM THIS ISNT MIRACULOUS #GOOD SHIT
