Racism is based on a system of oppression. Like, you know, slavery, imperialism, etc. It’s possibly to discriminate against whites. It’s also possible to demean white people for their race. But it’s impossible to be racist against a white person because, at present, there is no system of oppression of white people.

Hi, what would you recommend for someone who wants to read up on Donna Troy? Especially her friendship with Dick?
Money.
Oh you meant, like, actual titles? The “Who is Donna Troy?” storyline was really good. But in general, The New Teen Titans is a good place to look for Dick and Donna interaction. I love Dick and Donna — they are the greatest friends in the history of friends.
First of all I have to say you're awesome. You are able to be a big comic fanatic without making it creepy. Not a lot of people can pull that off. And you're the first person I've heard of (besides me) who actually really likes Lagoon Boy. Snaps to you. But it might drive me insane if Cass isn't in any new comics. They can't just leave her out and replace her character by making Steph batgirl AGAIN. I like Steph, but It won't fill the void. This message has no point, I'm just venting the feels.
I was under the impression that I was making it very creepy to be a big comic fanatic. I like Lagoon Boy because Lagoon Boy is fantastic. And Cass Cain because Cass Cain is ultra fantastic. She invented fantastic.
“The day after Columbine, I was interviewed for the Tom Brokaw news program. The reporter had been assigned a theory and was seeking sound bites to support it. “Wouldn’t you say,” she asked, “that killings like this are influenced by violent movies?” No, I said, I wouldn’t say that. “But what about Basketball Diaries?” she asked. “Doesn’t that have a scene of a boy walking into a school with a machine gun?” The obscure 1995 Leonardo Di Caprio movie did indeed have a brief fantasy scene of that nature, I said, but the movie failed at the box office (it grossed only $2.5 million), and it’s unlikely the Columbine killers saw it. The reporter looked disappointed, so I offered her my theory. “Events like this,” I said, “if they are influenced by anything, are influenced by news programs like your own. When an unbalanced kid walks into a school and starts shooting, it becomes a major media event. Cable news drops ordinary programming and goes around the clock with it. The story is assigned a logo and a theme song; these two kids were packaged as the Trench Coat Mafia. The message is clear to other disturbed kids around the country: If I shoot up my school, I can be famous. The TV will talk about nothing else but me. Experts will try to figure out what I was thinking. The kids and teachers at school will see they shouldn’t have messed with me. I’ll go out in a blaze of glory.”
In short, I said, events like Columbine are influenced far less by violent movies than by CNN, the NBC Nightly News and all the other news media, who glorify the killers in the guise of “explaining” them. I commended the policy at the Sun-Times, where our editor said the paper would no longer feature school killings on Page 1. The reporter thanked me and turned off the camera. Of course the interview was never used. They found plenty of talking heads to condemn violent movies, and everybody was happy.” —Roger Ebert (via vaginawoolf)

You know Save the Pearls is really fucking racist when blackface isn't even the worst thing about it.
Let’s review: In a post-apocalypse society where a hole in the ozone has killed off most white people, the human race is driven underground. There, colored people are the “ruling” group, if you will. Victoria Foyt actually ranks the fucking races, with African-Americans first, then Latino/as, then Asian, then white people, and finally albinos. Apparently they get nicknames too, and black people are called coals, while white people are called pearls. Let that sink in for a moment. In this world, because apparently poor sad defenseless white people are being oppressed by the big bad colored people, the protagonist has to wear blackface. The whole premise of the book operates on the assumption that when POC become the majority, they will oppress white people. As a half Asian woman, I would like to extend my sincerest fuck you. We deal with enough “mighty whitey” and “colored people are bad” bullshit in the media, but Foyt has taken it to a new level. She’s abandoned any sense of subtlety about the inherent racist messages in the book, and is unapologetic about how the novel portrays POC. The ultimate message the book sends isn’t an anti-racist one, like what the author claims, but the idea that colored people are embittered and cruel, and white people are victims of their revere racism.
Fuck you.
So in light of the fact that I apparently bear an uncanny resemblance in demeanor to Hello Kitty, I have decided that I am Kitty. Kitty is me. From now on I command you to call me Kitty for I will not respond to anything else because I am Kitty.

Sometimes I think life would be easier if I was gay but then like I would basically be dating another me and NOPE NOPE NOPE MEN ARE GOOD I AM OKAY WITH MEN.
do you even know the guy who sent you that stuff?
No. I have no idea who that person is…
I don’t want one of those cutesy relationships where they snuggle and the girl wears his hoodies and they run about in the park and play games in a used bookstore and shit like that honestly I just want to be able to eat your french fries without you getting mad at me.
I’m really bad with names.
And faces.
And people.

Cass Cain Fan Campaign
The idea is that on, let’s say, August 31st, fans goes to comixology and buy Batgirl #1.
The goal is to get her on the bestseller list for the day (or longer) and prove to DC that she’s not “toxic” and there are still fans who want to read about the character.
So, anyone interested?
Count me in!
Cass fans unite!
$2 for a stab at getting Cass in the DCnU? Fuck yeah I’m doing this.
Angry lunch break story time
Today for lunch I decided to walk to the Asian supermarket because that place is the bomb. On my way there, a man in a pickup truck whistled at me. I don’t know how many times I need to reiterate this: do not catcall me or I will destroy you. Because I was especially sourpuss today. I ran up to his car (he was stopped at a red light), kicked the side of it, stuck up both of my middle fingers, and yelled “Fuck you, asshole. Women are not your property!”
And then I fucking bolted because I kicked his car.
ONE OF MY COWORKERS BROUGHT HER TEENAGE DAUGHTER TO WORK TODAY AND SHE’S WEARING A FEDORA OH MY GOOOOOOOD.
Damian is such a little shit I love him.
What do you think of barbara gordon in the new 52? Also stephanie brown or cassandra cain as batgirl?
Babs is still Babs. I love Barbara Gordon, no matter what role she’s taking up. I would have preferred her to be Oracle in the reboot, but from a business standpoint, I can see why DC wanted her back in the cowl.
I. Love. Cass. I would read anything if Cass was in it because CASS. I’d love to see Cass take up the Batgirl mantle in the New 52, but that’s mostly because I’d love to see Cass in general. Ideally, DC would produce a title with a Cass and Tim team-up because that would be so much fun. As Batgirl or Black Bat or ANYTHING REALLY AS LONG AS IT WAS CASS.
As for Stephanie, she is a sweetie pie. And because she’s such a feisty, optimistic creature, I think she provides a really interesting element to any role she’s put in. I most enjoyed her as the Spoiler, because I personally felt that the Batgirl role wasn’t really for her. I’d love to see her as Robin again, though. Or as Nightwing just throwing that back out there.
So when are we going to get a John Blake/Nightwing movie?
NEVER. Just kidding. I don’t know. I’m not Dan Didio I’m a half Asian teenage girl with a victim complex.
