I’ve been avoiding getting into discussions over Red Hood and the Outlaws, and to be honest, I tend to avoid discussing specific issues or runs of comics  in general as to be quite honest, it often leads to far more bitching and stress than it’s really worth. I love comics and love certain characters fiercely. I have my opinion and that is not always going to mesh with other peoples.

Does that make me wrong? No. Does it make them wrong? Not in the slightest. I just can’t be bothered with a lot of the bitching and crap that goes on in comic fandoms in general. If I like a character or a particular run of a book, I like them. I should not have to justify why I like them, just like other people should not have to justify themselves for not liking them. Horses for courses and all that.

That said, I can’t help but weigh in on one particular issue- the meeting between Tim Drake and Jason Todd in Red Hood and the Outlaws #8. I’ve seen a heck of a lot of hate for these pages over the last day or so and a lot of people saying that it is entirely out of character for the pair of them. Personally, I don’t think it is. If anything, I find it to be exactly in line with their characters.

Just a warning, this is a long, somewhat incoherent ramble at times. It started out on the topic of RHatO, but sort of descended into me rambling on Jason and Tim and their relationship in general. Feel free to ignore all of this.

And I hasten to add that this is ENTIRELY MY OPINION and I am more than willing to admit that I may well read into things too much, but *shrug* 

TL;DR - I really liked this exchange and don’t think that it is out of character. While I’ve had issue with Lobdell, his writing and the series in general at several points in it’s run thus far, this isn’t one of them. I thought it was all really well done.

Cropwell Bishop stilton is the most sublime cheese on earth.  And I don’t even like Stilton.  Long Clawson sucks balls though.

My friend once had to explain to a French person the very important distinction between saying that someone ” is the shit” and saying that they are “a shit.”

The same guy also wondered why something “going tits up” should be a bad thing.  A valid point, now that I think of it.

BREAKING: Virginia Personhood Bill Officially Dead

fuckyeahfeminists:

I’m not American, but I really think that now is the time to start organizing a national protest against the erosion of women’s rights. It wasn’t until after this bill caught national media attention and a silent protest was held that the governor offered an amendment to the bill and actually realised that it is unconstitutional.  

On February 23, 2012, a Conservative anti-abortion activist said no one would even notice if Roe v. Wade was overturned. From ThinkProgress.org:

“I think there is a universal understanding among the legal community that Roe v. Wade was a very flawed legal decision,” she said. “It’s a horrible decision from a constitutional law standpoint, and even liberal law professors will tell you that.

“I believe that the issue of abortion should be left to the people to decide. The Constitution doesn’t mention the word abortion. So I think that’s what it’s really all about. And if Roe v. Wade were overturned tomorrow, nobody would even notice, because the states are legislating their own laws about abortion, completely independent.”

 Even though I don’t live in the U.S., I have friends and family who do, and this is really disconcerting to me to see other women and their rights being treated in this way. If a national protest ever does happen — which I sincerely hope it does — I will gladly gather up my girlfriends and march in solidarity in Toronto.  

I feel so incredibly privileged to live in a country where I can get an abortion essentially on demand, and for free.

I can’t even imagine the anxiety of being a sexually active woman living somewhere where that isn’t the case.

Judging by your answers, it seems like this comic could fall under the category of “terribad” or, something I would read strictly for the lols.

For example

…seriously, this panel couldn’t be less subtle if it tried.

When it comes to Jason Todd and penis metaphors?  I don’t want it to be subtle.

I have a strong feeling

that my psychiatrist is going to slap me with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder.

Part of me is railing against the injustice.  The other part thinks meh, it’s a fair cop.

feministdisney:

“This reminds me of all those magazines that give you 200 tips for losing weight and ‘looking great’ and then tell you that their secret tip is, ‘confidence is what will really attract people to you.’   It’s like society wants to shame you for not living up to their ideal, and also shame you if you don’t try to live up to it,” replied the mirror.

This reminds me of all those old Roman satirists (I’m looking at you, Martial, you weirdo prick) who spent half their time condemning women for vanity and being too concerned with their looks, and the other half ripping on women for being ugly.

That’s weird, I always imagined Jason as the best sub ever.
