Topic	#WokeALERT: Robin is the latest Comic Character to Come 'Out'...
Zeus 08/11/21 3:08:28 PM #25:	keyblader1985 posted... Which one? This so hard. There have been at least 5 Robins in the mainstream continuity, not counting the sub-continuities. Veedrock- posted... Name a character more bland than Tim Drake. Oh, Tim Drake? Fuck DC, I like that one and hate it when people just randomly mess with his character. ParanoidObsessive posted... There's always been at least some implication that Tim was bi already. There was a storyline years ago where they kind of hinted that his feelings for Superboy might be a lot stronger than just "friendship". If they're going to do sexuality retconning, I'd much rather they make people bi than gay, though. Because it's easier to justify "Well, he just happens to like some guys as well as women" than it is to justify "No, he just likes dudes, only dudes, exclusively dudes" when you've shown a character solely being interested in women for like 40+ years (and doubly so because in comics, we can HEAR people's thoughts). Yeah, but that would suggest that any of this ever involves good writing. SJWism is generally piss-poor everything because the messaging is seen as more important than the actual content to these the assholes behind these decisions (and ditto when it's done as a marketing ploy). mooreandrew58 posted... There is 4 in the main universe that I know of. Dick Jason Tim and Damien. Tim is probably the least popular. Woulda been jason as the fanbase literally voted to have him killed off but he came back as red hood who is somewhat popular. Jason Todd is the most widely-hated Robin. Even Stephanie Brown doesn't get that kind of heat for her time as Robin, and she caused a fucking war. You could say "Oh, well, he's Red Hood now and people kinda like that!" but they had to reinvent his character to make him palatable. He had by far the worst Robin run, and was so heavily disliked that the poll ran in the first place. Dick Grayson was fucking bland for much of his original run, whereas Tim was entertaining. Honestly, the Robin I hate most is probably Damian. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:956989940] in #WokeALERT...
