So this preview for next week's Batgirl has been floating around (3 non-spoilery pages), and um adorable art aside, I don't think it is as great as people are acting like it is!





It's page two that is pissing me off right now.

This version of the story, narrated by Steph, ignores the fact that Steph was ever Robin. It's bad enough when other characters do that, but Steph herself?! When Steph does show up (in her own story!) it's as a girl with a ridiculous (unrequited, those are broken hearts crush on Robin. I mean, sure, I get that that's how the world saw her, but you'll never convince me that's how she ever saw herself.

...And it also ignores Cass completely. Y'know, Cass Cain? Remember her? Steph's best friend?!

'I almost never say this because it is a really awful thing to tell someone, but good god I hope you don't have kids.'
And what does the above comment have to do with your dislike for Horrocks?

It doesn't, it has to do with my dislike of YOU.

You are coming off as not just a jerk to me (the way you are saying things) but a terrible person in general (the things you are saying).

It is NOT okay for a parent to call their child stupid, ESPECIALLY when that child has severe learning disabilities. I've dealt with your deliberate obtuseness, derailing/redirection, and colossal point-missing for longer than I probably should, but I can't continue "civil debate" with someone who disagrees with the above concept.

Excuse me? I'm not the one going around posting things like "Goddammit Horrocks". And Babs said the word 'stupid' once during his run.

I'm sorry your morals are literally so corrupt that you think a fan expressing distaste with a comic book is worse than A PARENT CALLING THEIR DISABLED CHILD STUPID, but please get the fuck off my blog. I am not going to respond to you any more, any further disgusting anon comments will be deleted.

Now you can go and tell your troll friends you won the argument, if you like, asshole.

You may have missed the memo, but it's my fucking blog and that means I get to decide what goes on it.

If you had signed a name and linked to your own blog, maybe we could be having this discussion in your space where you were in charge of the discourse

But you didn't, we're not. My blog, I am queen here. Shut the fuck up and get the fuck out. I am beyond sick of talking to you. I have anon comments on so that people who can't make a DW account can still join the conversation, not so people can shit all over the page.

[gwenfrankenstien]

There. Done.
