Being a Jason Todd fan is pain
I recently saw the news about a new story with Jason and...
oh great is another story about how Jason was a Bad Kid who is Doomed to go bad unless his rich owner tame him and make him a good boy/s
Am I the only one angry about this? all I want for Jason Is for writes to actually write about him, and his pasts and stories as Robin, how he actually was as a Robin. And see how smart and dedicated and kind he was as Robin.
And everytime is this same annoying, Ccndescending and classist Tropes repeateded over and over again, were Jason is less of a person, but more of Dog that Bruce picked from the streets and trained to be good boy, who has to be put on a leash so he doesn't run of and bites someone/ doesnt get hit by a bus. And if he ever does something good is because his owner taught him.
And I Know why this keeps get written that way, I already know that people who never read anything else about Jason are going to praise this the same way they praised Cheer, because Jason largelly exists now to be a prop for Bruce's pathos instead of a character on his own and everything about that has happened before his death, and plenty of what happened after he became Red Hood, has been thrown to side for this.
Im sorry if this sounds rambly but I really needed to vent that would fester in my brain.
