#think about the stories they could tell with Tara Markov if they weren't busy focusing on Slade Wilson

dc has so much wasted potential it kills me

#sorry for the negativity it's just like. i just talked about kory #but also look at the storys they choose to tell with Joey Wilson #and Barbara Gordon #and Victor Stone #and how they just squander all of that for the sake of making everything into this manufactured version of normalcy in order to maximize #profits because the bible of capitalism says that generic-ness equals marketability #it's just so frustrating that they're never willing to take risks or explore anything more than such a narrow view of the world #think about the stories they could tell with Tara Markov if they weren't busy focusing on Slade Wilson #or the stories they could tell about Grace and Anissa #everything just feels so shallow at dc right now #they're so willing to discard characters of color while writing the same batman comic 17 times over at once #tom taylor throws in one poorly written line referencing Dick's Romani heritage and thinks he's a hero??? like really?? this is the bar??? #why can't you get a romani creator to write him??? #why can't you give Duke anything ongoing when there are how many batbooks running???? #you really can't find any disabled woman willing to write Barbara Gordon as orcale? you really think fans prefer babsgirl to her? #idk if it's a problem with dc or the fandom or both and maybe i'm just out of touch because i only talk to specific people about comics #but if one of your writers is constantly critiqued and called out about abelism maybe you should actually do something instead of just #ignoring the issues... #idk i've been reading old comics with Mal Duncan and it just makes me ask: dc where is he? #and then i look at so many characters of color who just get discarded completely #like the fox family bea mal and karen and onyx and orpheus #the batfam post about black characters getting discarded so quickly makes me question if this happens in other fams as well at dc i just #have little experience with anyone outside the batfam and titans #like hello where's anita from young justice??? she just dropped off the face of the earth when teen titans 2003 changed the lineup #it's especially frustrating when the og creator cares about them and gives them personality and depth (or at least makes them interesting #or likeable or compelling because let's be real a lot of the og creators are also racist) and then immediately after they leave the #vision for the character is completely lost #negativity #vent post #dc you made me attached to these characters just to suffer i swear
