It’s shallow and performative, overemphasizing problems that are only vaguely gestured to and often inaccurate in the first place.
“kory deserves better than dick” “babs deserves better than dick” see these are valid opinions but i also don’t believe 95% of the people who say them because they’ll always ship him with the other while bad faithing/emphasizing the conflict in the pairing they don’t like

There comes a point where we need to be able to distinguish the bad behavior of a few individuals from the group. Even if there *are* actual fans of a character spouting toxic rhetoric, it’s a small minority, and shouldn’t be used to punish or paint all of their fans as bad.
I'm guessing this is oomf 😭😭 I'm kinda confused on what ur going based off to call them Starfire fans? Tiktok fandoms are terrible in general tho and I agree they're very gross about Babs on there

A bonus to calling out individuals is also that we can see consequences occur to them specifically, since there is now a righteous target to correct, and leads by example for others who may be behaving similarly. Over-broadened infighting corrects nothing and teaches nothing.

I think of all fans to blame for misogyny in Dickbabs vs Dickkory, Nightwing fans are *the* fairest choice, but I’d also tentatively say that most of those aren’t real fans either bc true fans know how flawed his approach to relationships is and the likelihood he’ll die alone lol

Put together, his romantic relationships are perhaps his WORST kind. His platonic connections have historically been much healthier, and anyone presenting a picture of Dick with Babs or Kory as something idealistic probably don’t much about him *or* his flaws.

(TL;DR: is one truly a Nightwing fan if they aren’t rooting for the other partner in every exchange??? 🤔🤔🤔)

Confession: I love all the vampire king Dick art going around, but I didn’t like him in DC Vampires. Why use him if you’re not going to preserve his personality or play with his experience with Dala (dismissing that one barely-nod at the beginning)? He’s just a generic villain.

Like I get people think he’s hot, and that’s great, but he’s not Dick turned into a villain. There’s no semblance of his original character that could be really cool to see perverted to become villainous. He’s just bad person number one million.

Nonsensical discourse starts to make a lot more sense when you realize most of it is not made by comic fans, but pedophilia fans who happen to use comic properties to excuse their behavior. Ofc they don’t understand the lore or characters. They don’t care about the comics.

I’ve read all of these. The first panel was taken from when Bruce was mind controlled and Dick commanded Bruce to hit him *because* he knew it would help snap Bruce out of it, since Bruce wouldn’t want to hit him. The last panel isn’t even Dick. It’s a robot from Hugo Strange.

In as much as you do want to find instances of Bruce being “abusive”, those were retconned in the late 90s and early 00s. Wolfman’s run of Nightwing and Robin: Year One come to mind, but those are instances of emotional frigidity rather than physical abuse.

And even then, for every one of those there was a Grimm arc from Legends of the Dark Knight. Falsely representing panels like this is particularly ridiculous, but even were they what you were implying, shock moments don’t mean anything in the context of a soap opera medium.
