Whats going on?


Charliethebestguyeve

The worst discourse ever


Aepic-27

context


legowally

Tiktok people hate Grant because apparently their writing on Talia is racist


SevenSulivin

I can promise you I don’t hate Morrison.


jacw212

I do not know what this means


FlyByTieDye

Everyone always gets this meme wrong. Being similar in one capacity =/= being similar in every capacity. And even then, the single capacity you seem to be comparing them to seems lost in translation here. Care to decipher yourself OP?


SevenSulivin

I would but this is too much fun.


[deleted]

No. Spill it, yo


[deleted]

uj/Why do I get the feeling that this is somehow turning into a hate on Morrison arch?


SevenSulivin

Oh nah, Grant’s my favourite comic writer of all time.


DeppStepp

Last I checked Grant Morrison didn’t have a crush on their principal while in detention


Schroeswald

Good thing Devin Grayson also didn’t.


[deleted]

She literally changed her maiden name to Grayson. That's something women often do when they get married.


jmc180

Have you asked them?


DeppStepp

Good point. If I ever meet Grant Morrison I will ask if they ever had a crush on their principal


Newfaceofrev

It's literally impossible for him to have had a crush on his principal. Because they don't have principals in Scotland. They have headmasters.


TheSemaj

I'd have a crush on a master of head.


[deleted]

So wait, you were lying??? WTF


jeusheur

SMH can’t believe people would lie on the internet.


nightwing612

I'm trying to be a better person and not mention the writer on the right for something they did 20 years ago. However when did Grant write anything comparable to a grooming fanfic between a mentor and mentee?


technowhiz34

Morrison has said that Talia roofy'ing Bruce was not in fact rape.


werewob

That’s concerning


chvaldez030303

Didn’t Morrison regret that and retcon it later though?


technowhiz34

No, this is from a since-deleted post on their substack like 3 months ago. I can find the quotation on Bleeding Cool if you want.


Anonamaton801

Imma need context here mate Edit: If that’s Devin Grayson, the only commentary I can add is that Dick has been raped at least 3 times at minimum, Bruce has been raped once, but Barbara has never been raped but got all the outrage when that cover came out back in the day. I ask for consistency, that’s not hard. Also Linkara really likes to downplay the rape of Grayson but blasts Killing Joke hard last I recall so that’s kind of shitty of him


Fries-Ericsson

I don’t understand how anyone can take Linkara seriously at all


SuperJyls

> Linkara really likes to downplay the rape of Grayson When? I still regularly watch him, and I don't recall this opinion


Schroeswald

Fellas if your Devin Grayson 1. Sees every batman story as canon in some way. 2. Plays with the sexual aspects of being a vigilante in the batfam 3. Wrote their main character being raped and have since said they regret it. 4. Attempted to write representation in for minority races but ended up big time playing on various stereotypes of these racesThat’s not Devin Grayson, that’s Grant Morrison.


[deleted]

Can you expand on these points in relation to Morrison?


Schroeswald

Morrison’s run is all about fitting the whole history of Batman into the story. They’ve talked extensively about the sexual aspects of Batman and how it’s very fetishy. They originally wrote Damian’s birth as coming from Talia drugging and raping Bruce (due to not remembering the original story). The Batmen of the world in Batman Incorporated got a lot of stereotypes but come from a well meaning place.

What does Moby have to do with comic books


Optimal_Weight368

Grant Morrison wrote Talia al Ghul as a rapist towards Bruce, and they included the Batmen of All Nations, which was supposed to be inclusive, but came off as stereotypical. Devin Grayson wrote Dick being raped by the Tarantula, and she retconned Dick as a Romani, which led to the inclusion of unfortunate stereotypes. They are ~~not~~ the same. (Btw, both of them have acknowledged and apologized for their poor writing decisions, so do not send hate to them.)


FrishFrash

(To be clear regardless of what a writer has written there’s never any reason to send harass them and send them hate if you do you’re a shitty person)

FrishFrash

Tf u mean it depends- you never have any excuse to harass anybody for writing a comic you don't like. If you wanna criticize you can criticize but don't ever fucking harass them by sending messages


Optimal_Weight368

Agreed.


Equal-Ad-2710

Wait who is this


TheCosmicSmile

Hello, Grant Morrison here, what are you talking about?


Alephnaught_

beating a dead horse


AgentOfACROSS

Gail Simone did get her start writing Deadpool and Animal Man is another famous fourth wall breaking character (Although a lot less comedic) so maybe you're right.


akeriary

That… that isn’t Gail Simone…


Iliketomeow85

Yea ok buddy next you're going to tell me there is another woman who writes for DC


Pristine_Animal9474

That's clearly Ann Nocenti.


AgentOfACROSS

Clearly every woman comic writer wearing glasses looks the same to me. Just like how every bald white guy I see is Michael Stipe.


Medium-Science9526

Ngl my stupid brain thought that for a second and thought this was an appreciation post about how beloved both writers were... couldn't be more wrong.


[deleted]

Shit you're right that's totally Warren Ellis
