Also Never Forget Who The Writer That Made Ra's Kill His Wife Was Writing And Trying To Justify Or Whatever - Tumblr Posts

I find it laughable that people eat up the FANON thing of Ra's being a sexist jerk (put it next to conservative Lex Luthor please) and the few terrible NEW retcons done to his character. People not only eat it, but preach it, yet if you dare to pull this same "canon" card with his daughter you will get crucified.

If the poc female character has nasty retcons then that's not canon! How convenient.

But if the poc male character has nasty retcons then it's canon? Huh, definitely has nothing to do with the constant need of society to label poc men as dangerous and abusers ☠️

Anyway! Never forget that the original story of Ra's (that people who swear to love his daughter should read again, apparently) has him mourning his wife to the point he can't endure the idea of loving someone else, the only reason he approached Bruce was because his daughter loved him and he never dated to underestimate women in the field ✨

(yes I love my fic Ra's a bit evil but GOD these takes...)

you'd think Ra's and Poison Ivy would hang out more given their broadly similar interest in killing tons and tons of people to "let the planet heal" or whatever. obviously there are editorial reasons for not constantly throwing two big-name villains together but from an in-universe perspective I'd like to imagine they tried to chill exactly one time and discovered they cannot fucking stand each other for reasons completely unrelated to the eco terrorism. they had like the platonic version of a one night stand and now the vibes are so rancid they can't make eye contact.
