Baby Brother Damian Wayne - Tumblr Posts

you know what pisses me off sometimes?? This obsession that some writers (some comics and in the fandom) have with “putting damian in his place” like???? first it’s the whole he’s a feral arab child who needs to be tamed by this white family (which is already weirdddd as fuck man) and then it’s like he needs to be constantly punished for his previous actions as if he was not a traumatised kid???? Sure the narrative can totally address those behaviours and how he’s changed and grown or needs to change and grow but why is it that he’s so often denied the grace of yknow having his story being treated fairly and with the same respect as other white characters?? That coupled with the whole villainising way recent comics (to be honest like the comics have been doing that for over a decade) treat the al ghuls and any storyline involving them just ugh reeks of racism and don’t even get me started on the orientalism problem in the comics (pre and post 9/11) cause I don’t have the mental stability to go through all of that

anyway….

sorry for the rant I was just feeling a kinda upset by all of this I really love the fandom and the batcomics but when I notice stuff like this it just tampers my enjoyment yknow :/
