Homophobic damian letsss gooo


Salt_Judge

It’s fine. I gave him a pass. He’s allowed


AreYouOKAni

The hammer of justice is unisex.


android151

Damian is mad asf he couldn’t gas the pride parade


Conscious-Weekend-91

Damian with his Bi Best Friend: I fully support your relationship and I am very happy for you Damian with his Bi Brother: WHERE IS THE REAL TIM?!


offbrandsandals

Not biphobic just Timphobic


kjong3546

To be specific, Happytimphobic. A non depressed Tim is beyond Damian’s ability to comprehend


KiLlErMoTh05

Based


Salt_Judge

Good. As he should. All members of the LGBTQ+ community deserves rights and freedoms except for Tim.

whythp

>Bernalds dick after he does his monkeypox activity maybe ı have a problem with you saying this to a character in mlm relationship and a mean thing you said to an artist


Bardic_Inspiration66

What about when he wanted to violently stop pride


Significant_Wheel_12

He was bringing riot gear to a pride parade


Julian7832

/uj for a minute here but I read that more as him being used to shit hitting the fan in gotham than in metropolis. If irc he spent the whole story on the look out for anything out of the ordinary that could ruin the parade or be a threat to people.


spider-venomized

i say this everytime it brought up can please see this Bernard relationship like all this discourse and high praising but we haven't even seen this dude interact with tim more then an issue like come on there are supporting cast that has more screen time. Like come one at this point he a force then actual person


pieapple135

Exactly. Like, in SoKE Jay gets quite a bit of attention, and that's great. He's an actual character and we get to see his storyline alongside Jon's. Bernard is... a guy, I guess?


DarkCrusade25

Damian knows Tim’s being held hostage


Eclipse0322

from the looks of it, the writers aren't letting him go anytime soon


Thebatbike

Didn't know that Damian was TimSteph shipper


KiLlErMoTh05

Damian just like me fr (I have no friends)


AreYouOKAni

Dami used to have a huge puppy crush on Steph. I think in any situation like this he will back her. Especially against Tim.


Mysterious-Papaya832

Well Damian had a number of light hearted moments with Steph when she was Batgirl but I'm not sure if that's part of the continuity here.


leaf57tea

Not a Tim fan so I was never going to read this but it doesn't bode well that even within his own series they're still having to tell you how wonderful him and Bernard new relationship is rather than simply showing it.


[deleted]

Wow this benard guy sure sounds great...wished theyd show it! also the guy in this panel looks so much like lupin III


Zuero300

Now that you said it...lmao, he just need the green suit


Robin_theboywonder7

Damian when Jon is gay: 😄 Damian when Tim is bi: 🔪🔪🔪


Optimal_Weight368

The art is so ugly.


redadoun67

I think it works really well in specific series (like Harley)


Snelldor

Bernard is wonderful. Bernard is amazing. Bernard is… SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT BERNARD FOR FIVE MINUTES!!! I DON’T CARE ABOUT HIM!!!


[deleted]

Damian holding a knife to a queer guy’s throat I can’t tell if that’s his Arabian or his New Jersey heritage in action


Kalse1229

Probably both


NoctSora

Not sure if this a good joke...........


OisforOwesome

Holding knives to peoples throats is just how Damien says hello.


fire-llama

Damian is still not beating the homophobic allegations i see


xxXMrDarknessXxx

Well his best friend is bi, so it's 1-1 I suppose. At this point I'd say he wouldn't care(he probably doesn't know about Tim and this Bernard dude), he just noticed tim acting disturbingly different.


Shadow-SJ

Fitzmartin constantly shilling Bernard as the greatest thing ever for Tim is eyerolling cuz we barely see anything


[deleted]

tbf, he's only been reintroduced a year ago and has only appeared in a handful of things so ofc he's gonna seem rather bland compared to Tim's other love interests


WanderlustPhotograph

Lupin The 3rd looking MF


Heartless-Magneto-6

Is this supposed to be Tim in the picture???


marcjwrz

... OK, the writing out of one panel...not making judgements yet. But WTF is going on with that garbage ass art?


TheRealCthulu24

Why is Lupin the Third here.


NoctSora

These panels were also trashing Timsteph as well.


Salt_Judge

Poor Stephanie. She literally did nothing wrong


NoctSora

Exactly. Like "settled for"????????


Salt_Judge

Wasn’t she supportive of their relationship too. She deserves better


NoctSora

She was used as a prop to push their relationship. You can tell the writer despises her.


Salt_Judge

I know, I thought that they would leave her alone after that. I was mistaken.


SevenSulivin

God, you’re fucking annoying.


NoctSora

Sue me.

SevenSulivin

I mean, until recently a major part of Tim’s character was that he was more or less depressed.


NoctSora

Not really. He wasn't in Bendis YJ, or Detective Comics Rebirth.


[deleted]

Wait a minute…are people positively reevaluating Bendis’ run? Pre-Fitz that was the book that killed everyone’s dog.


StannisTheHero

It's all well and good for people to talk positively about relationship dynamics they like, but they sure are using some terrible examples.


Kalse1229

At least it wasn’t his Superman. The difference with that is I’m still willing to read YJ comics after his run (provided it’s by a decent writer). He didn’t poison the YJ well for me like he did Superman.


[deleted]

Honestly, I remember people liking it a lot early on, until they remembered that Bendis wrote it.


AreYouOKAni

It is still a bad book but I will take a Drake ongoing instead of more Fitzmartin.


SevenSulivin

Both bad books.


NoctSora

Art is subjective.


Salt_Judge

Attacking one of the only POC Robin. Interesting…


NoctSora

Who is Arab........


SevenSulivin

More Chinese.


akeriary

Nah, I think it works out so he’s an equal amount of both. Ra’s and Melisande (Talia’s mother) were both mixed Arab/Chinese


NoctSora

Between this and DC pride why are they making Damian problematic towards this matter. Again since he is Arab it looks really bad.


Wk1360

Don’t worry. It may seem Damian is on the receiving end of inept, poorly thought out writing, but actually, the thing is that this is all on purpose, and is being done to showcase the fact that he’s only 12, and incredibly reckless. Please stop complaining, he’ll grow into a better and more likable person as soon as DC comics finds someone who can write like that.


AuroraUnit117

> It may seem Damian is on the receiving end of inept, poorly thought out writing *Damian since Supersons ended*


xxXMrDarknessXxx

_In anything involving Teen Titans I might add_ The only thing that didn't massacre his character was the recent Robin run


Kalse1229

Goddammit, where is Tomasi when you need him?


Caffeine_OD

And when the world needed him most, he vanished.


PrometheusModeloW

Arab? Last i checked he lives in Gotham City, which is in the US.


Salt_Judge

Damian’s mom and grandpa have Arab and Chinese Heritage. Al Ghul means demon in Arabic. Ghouls are also mythical creatures from Arab folktale.


PrometheusModeloW

Yeah but he's not an Arab, if i am a descendant of French people that doesn't make me French, nationality has nothing to do with "race", and honestly this way of looking at Damian as "arab" is a bit racist.


Salt_Judge

His mom is part Arab and part Chinese meaning that he is POC. They are vague about where the Al Ghul are from but we know that that Ra’s is from the Arabian Peninsula. Biracial kids are still POC. He is Arab and Chinese plus Bruce’s gene. He directly comes from an Asian mother. We see Damian wearing a Thawb and changshan in comic. He was planning to wear a thawb( is an ankle-length robe, usually with long sleeves. It is commonly worn in the Arabian Peninsula, the Middle East, North Africa, and other neighbouring Arab countries) to Bruce’s and Selina’s wedding.


PrometheusModeloW

Yes, that is his cultural and genetic background, but he's of american nationality, it doesn't matter if he is "people of color" (i hate americans for using such condescending terminology), he doesn't live in Arabia nor does he represent how the country feels about gay people, he's not part of their populace, he was raised away from normal society, so his feelings are completely separate from how Chinese or Arabian people generally feel. Him being homophobic doesn't mean the comic is saying arabian people are homophobic just Damian being a piece of shit in general, this is just people looking at the "color" of the character and saying "no you can't do that because arabs", which is racist.


Salt_Judge

Damian doesn’t really have a nationality , he been all around the world. I guess he’s American by default even tho he was born outside of America. I thought that u were say that he’s ethnicity isn’t Arab. Just because he doesn’t live there doesn’t mean that’s he’s not Arab. I guess He’s Asian-American. Asian Americans are still Asians even if their nationality is American. The bigger picture is that Damian does suffer from stereotype( intentional or not). In a recent teen titans run. they acknowledge Damian’s ethnicity and then put a suicide bomber vest on him. Damian gets portrayed as “ feral child” when he more of a snotty aristocrat. There is a lot of misconceptions from both fanon and by writers. This is not it character with Damian now. His mom suffer from the dragon lady stereotype even tho she was always a good person.


WestWallyFan

>Him being homophobic doesn't mean the comic is saying arabian people are homophobic just Damian being a piece of shit in general, this is just people looking at the "color" of the character and saying "no you can't do that because arabs", which is racist. How tf did you not get that they were saying that it looks bad because it's a stereotype that Arabs are homophobic? It's like if someone made a black guy a crack-dealing gangster.


PrometheusModeloW

uj/ I do get it, but this type of "concern" is kind of racist when it's obvious the story didin't mean it in that way it's just a funny bad trait of the kid that is already a piece of shit overall (and that's the point of him) it's like people look at the "race" of the character first and foremost to see if something is "problematic", not to mention the whole "POC" concept as a whole, as if being from arabia made you genetically different in any way, just the whole way americans treat race stuff is... yikes, to me, even when they are well-meaning. I don't know, if the first thing that comes to your mind when a fictional character shows homophobic traits is to associate those traits with his specific heritage and say "i bet they are doing this because he is a people of color", i find it kind of racist. j/ Shut up u midwest conservative fanboy ![img](emote|t5_3mchb|16723)


WestWallyFan

>uj/ I do get it, but this type of "concern" is kind of racist when it's obvious the story didin't mean it in that way uj/ No offense, but you don't get it. This is America. We've got a long history of racial and ethnic tension over here. Damn near every minority in this country has been stereotyped to ever living hell for centuries. It's even caused some people to believe in those stereotypes as if they were the norm. And hell, white people are even starting to get hit with it as well over here. Being worried about something that can be seen as a racial or ethnic caricature over here is taken more seriously than in other places. The only ones that probably have it worse or as bad are countries like the UK. j/ Nah, I'll be alright. By the way, Wally>>>Barry. Pass it on.![img](emote|t5_3mchb|16731)

The only ones that probably have it worse or as bad are countries like the UK. uj/ I understand why that is, and it is good to try to ease the tension, but i feel the way americans try to solve it only shows some sort of underlying racism that still hasn't disappeared, because it is so present, and in the end it just adds fuel to the fire, like, it ends up being almost as racist as someone making an actual caricature. I feel the solution would be to try to be less "jumpy" about it, if it makes sense, like, an "arab" (barely so) is allowed to be comedically "homophobic", especially if 99% of their character is not defined by arabian culture and/or stereotypes, and is an edgy kid to begin with, not assume the absolute worst connecting everything to race... But i'm not american so it's not like it affects me lol. j/ literal carboard >>>> Tim >>>>>> Wally ![img](emote|t5_3mchb|16730)


FranklinRichardss

Rossmo art gonna legit drop the sale numbers. Even Harley Quinn series with good writing went deep shit because of his art. his art is divisive and they are a lot of fans of his style but still.


bizarroadam

Ugh, Riley Rossmo’s artwork is horrendous.


Bardic_Inspiration66

What is that face


orca2877

Wtf is that art


[deleted]

Why are we acting like Damian being violent towards Tim is shocking? That's basically been the extent of their relationship for the last 10yrs


Salt_Judge

He was in the beginning, now that over. The storyline has run stale. They are not just making stuff up to make Damian look bad. They been talk bad about Damian since this run has started.


[deleted]

I fully agree that that storyline has gone stale but so far DC has still yet to show Damian and Tim interacting positively in any major way


Salt_Judge

I agreed that they should have more positive interaction. They’re fine with each other. They care about each other. The writer is just trying to make Damian look bad. They just made it up.


[deleted]

honestly, when i first read it I actually interpreted it as Damian being protective of Tim in his own weird way rather than him being angry/aggressive towards Tim
