I keep hearing people say to ignore Devin Grayson’s Nightwing but I also see people reference it. I feel like I’m getting mixed signals. Should I avoid it or read it? Are there specific issue I should avoid or read? is the avoiding advice only for people who are new to the comics? Or should I really just avoid the whole thing?
short answer — u do not have to read devin graysons nightwing run. i wouldn’t recommend it to new readers, and there isn’t anything significantly important that happens so like. it’s an easy pass. i do encourage people to at least read what she wrote about, though, because devin accidentally kickstarted the next twenty or so years of bad writing in nightwing books.
the long answer — devin grayson was a writer for nightwing volume 2 from like….. issue #70ish to #115ish. she did a lot of weird things during her run — her takes on dick’s relationships with bruce and slade and helena come to mind — but the most popular talking points wrt her writing are issue 93 and maaaaybe the renegade arc but that is literally the tip of shit mountain.
it’s funny u say that people are telling u not to read it cause based on my experience in fandom it is very, very clear that very few people have read any of the run at all, or even #93 and it’s preceding issues. which is fine, because it’s bad. but it’s important to understand why it’s bad, and how it’s affected dicks characterisation in both canon and fanon.
nightwing #93 is the issue people say to avoid because it features dick’s assault at the hands of a former ally that devin refused to acknowledge was rape until like… 2014. it’s bad. the build up to this point — haleys is set on fire, dicks apartment is destroyed killing everyone inside, dick watches this ally kill a man on his behalf while he is helpless to stop her — is rarely discussed in the context of the scene. it’s a lot, but because people haven’t read it they misunderstand the dynamics that devin had created.
the worst parts about nightwing in the present — his lack of conviction and competence, his sexualisation and dehumanisation, the fundamental lack of empathy for his retconned bg as a poc — all started with devin. literal ground zero. i cannot emphasise how her i incapability to understand that she’d written an assault arc with her self insert as the instigator has played into dick’s status as a character in the 2020s. many people accidentally engage with the same tired, racist tropes that devin herself contributed to, because people simply do not know (or care to know) what she’d written. think about much fanon content revolves around dick being an accessory to his own assault, or being literally unable to advocate for himself, or relying on jason fucking todd to kill his rapist. it’s like im rereading nightwing vol 2 all over again, and that’s not a good thing.
however what people also tend to forget about is the racism. devin grayson introduced dick having rromani heritage into canon, sure, but she did it because she thought it was sexy. we see this with her writing for roy’s navajo heritage too — a lack of research and care, though dick’s was clearly egregiously fetishistic. she retconned the character that assaulted dick into a latina character, and retconned her into being an aggressively sexual and violent person that was at significant odds with her og characterisation. that seems to be a trend with nightwing writers — wolfman did the exact same thing like fifteen years earlier with about the same degree of nuance and empathy.
ig my answer is that nightwing vol 2 is very much a pick and choose run, make ur own adventure type experience. bizarrely, u can get better nightwing characterisation in the titans 1999 run, or batman plus arsenal, which were both also written by devin (heartbreaking, the worst person u kno just made a good point). id be wary of people telling u to avoid it entirely, because i think ignoring its existence just exacerbates the problems devin created. just be discerning, ig. but also read nightwing vol 2 #118-#124 (just after devin leaves) because it is gd hilarious

What would say are some of most interesting or thought provoking instances of violence in the Bible?
the rape, killing, and posthumous dismemberment of the unnamed woman in judges 19 (judg 19); elisha, in mourning, has foreign children mauled to death (2 kngs 2); jael impaling sisera, tent-peg into skull (judges 4); saul killing himself by lining his sword up to his chest and falling unto it (1 sam 31); a woman, called by scholars "the mother of the seven sons," watches each one die, one by one, and is then killed herself (though everyone knows that mothers die the moment a child is killed anyway) (2 macc 7); all that happens to jezebel's body (2 kings 9); hagar, thrown into the wilderness to die a second time by her enslavors, watches her son emaciate (gen 21); moses, in the wilderness, forcing the levites to murder their families (exod 32); all that happens to dinah's body (gen 34); god slaughters infants (exod 11); jephtheh killing his daughter because god told him to (judges 11); abraham killing his son because god told him to (yes, the aqadah did happen, in some sense) (gen 22); infants eaten by their mothers (2 kngs 6). god's body captured in war (1 sam 4)

multiple reputable news sources are retracting their statements on supposed rapes and beheadings happening bc of lack of evidence along with literal civilians coming forward and saying it didn’t happen, keep in mind the palestinians have no allies rn, no control in the media, and almost no support from major countries so this isn’t them “sneaking” in propaganda, ur being lied to about people in a literal concentration camp who now have their access to water electricity and food shut off, don’t fall for it

the truth is, i do not think that it is useful nor helpful to treat rape and sexual abuse of any kind as singularly evil things that will damage and destroy victims forever and leaves them unworthy of life, and whose perpetrators are also singularly evil people who were born evil and need to be erased from society in order to get rid of rape existing at all. i do not think it is helpful to anybody including victims to tell them that rape and sexual abuse has damaged them permanently and that they have less worth as a human being for having been through that specific kind of abuse/assault. i do not think it is useful to treat sexual violence as completely different from other forms of violence, something that must remain taboo and that has no link to any other form of abuse and violence that might be perpetrated. it is especially not helpful when the very existence of transgender women is treated as sexual violence and a violation to protect cisgender women and children from. it is not helpful when victims of sexual violence are treated as damaged goods, when the sexual violence they've been through is either/both so taboo it cannot be spoken out loud, or something that marks them out as a potential perpetrator of said violence bc they have been forever broken by it.

This doesn’t sound healing. Sounds like she’s almost mute and borderline catatonic at times following her ordeal.

a while back, when I was pretty newly on T, I had someone threaten to rape me to get me pregnant in order to force me off testosterone. explicitly. no room for interpretation.
I'm sure that a lot of queer people are at risk of corrective rape. but i think that threat, in its specificity, is an interesting one, in terms of discourse, at least.
because that is, fundamentally, the transmasc specific transphobia that everyone is trying to tell me doesn't exist or isn't that bad or shouldn't have a word.
transfems definitely can and do get correctively raped, but, as far as I'm aware, it's only transmascs who would be forced off their hormones by medical professionals because of it.
corrective rape doesn't work. it never makes someone stop being trans. but. corrective rape can and does force trans men to detransition, whether we want to or not. because of the very rules of our institutions.
and you cannot, you simply cannot convince me that that's 'bog-standard transphobia'. you cannot tell me that that's 'something every trans person experiences' because it's just, fundamentally... not. it's a different thing. and it should have a specific word.

All the way back in November 2023, articles were dropping about the sheer, devastating magnitude of Sudanese genocide. RSF forces and its allied Arab militias embarked on a relentless campaign of slaughtering and raping Sudanese people, on the basis of nothing but their African ethnicity. This caused many Sudanese people to flee the rampaged El Geneina, a city in West Darfur (where the Masalit hailed from, but which they were expelled from in the most dehumanizing of ways). As if that wasn't enough, the RSF then resumed its genocidal acts in Ardamata, targeting and massacring the tens of thousands of people already displaced there. Where's the mainstream media's coverage of this? Or is spotlighting the ongoing genocide of darker-skinned people like the Masalit too humanizing of them?

I thought I was done but I’m not.
Hundreds of people, sex workers and members of the ace community as well as everyone supporting them, have already stepped up and said “sometimes people have sex with people they’re not attracted to and this doesn’t mean that their sexual orientation is different from what they’re claiming it is or that anyone involved is a rapist.”
But one trans guy states the hypothetical in which a lesbian and a gay man decide to fuck each other despite not being attracted to each other and suddenly everyone is losing their minds calling him a lesbophobe and a corrective rapist. Because a hypothetical lesbian made a decision they personally wouldn’t make.
No one is telling you to go fuck a man! No one is telling you you have to fuck men! You can simply choose to not do that if that’s something you don’t want to do! No one cares! But you don’t get to police the decisions of others just because they share an identity with you and you don’t get to accuse trans people of being rapists when they have not literally committed rape! A text post on tumblr dot com about a hypothetical scenario is not rape!
You people are just transphobic and suckling a little too much milk out of radfem teat.

so many people feel the need to deny 7/10 to justify their support for palestine & it's weird. you can acknowledge that 7/10 happened (bc it did) while also advocating for palestinian autonomy & an end to the occupation.
hamas' actions are horrific. the actions of israeli authorities, the settlers & those who support them are horrific. all of these truths coexist.
7/10 deniers seem to have this awful idea in their heads that palestinians must be ~sinless & pure~ to earn the right to live or something??? but you don't have to lie about anything to condemn israel's inexcusable & devastating bombardment of gaza, along with the mistreatment of palestinians in israeli society.
you don't need to "prove" that palestinians deserve basic human rights by denying the sexual assault, torture & murder of israeli civilians. 7/10 has been so thoroughly documented that denying it makes you sound like a fucking qanon supporter. atrocity denial will never be a progressive act.
palestinians deserve to live. that is a full, non-negotiable statement. & hamas' attack doesn't weaken that statement. by implying otherwise, by denying what happened on 7/10, you make it perfectly clear that your support for innocent civilians is conditional. & i shouldn't need to explain why that mindset is terrible.
