you hate the Jason parents retcon? Me too; I've never seen anyone else like the circus parents more

I kinda feel bad now bc I meant the Jason's parents retcon of them going from victims of their circumstance to poor people bad sorry anon I'm sure there are people who prefer circus parents #2 I'm just not one of them (if you do sound off so anon knows they're not alone)

#ask #anon #im gonna continue my little steph Jason parents rant from yesterday tho bc i got a lot to say #like the way that steph and jason basically had mirror images of their parents #is a really easy way to see how the perception of poor people #changed between their two eras of batman comics #like jasons parents being poor and bc of that being forced to do shitty things #to stephs mum and dad being poor and just shitty people #but the reason i dont complain about stephs background like i do with jasons now that they've retconed his parents #is bc Jason was also retconed to always be this overly angry kid #while steph literally choose to fight her fathers villainy #and everything steph does herself fights back again poor stereotypes #like how she was a teen pregnancy #so while steph fights against sterotypes jason has been retconed to play into them #and i hate it #its why i think if you want to explore the bad poor parents you do it with steph #and we should try to steer jasons back into jason was a good kid with good parents who were doomed to fail by the system
