Oh I get it.

They're all cousins. /Trolololol

Remember Sailor Moon Dub anyone?

[–] ProtonEvoker 64 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yup, making them related without removing any of the subtext. So they went from being lesbians to being incestuous lesbians.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

And they were roommates

Insane to not include TOH.

REPRESENTATION MATTERS

(All but one character is a lesbian couple)

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 months ago

so many of these characters were so formative for me figuring things out as a kid, it was comforting to see someone else that I felt reflected in, being able to say like "oh hey that's how I feel"

Off topic, but not capitalizing on Korrasami is one of the stupidest things Viacom has ever done, lol. Which is saying something.

How could they possibly think "No one will like this, quietly sweep it under the rug..."

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Its always a positive feeling seen.

Cassandra (Assassin's Creed Odyssey)

Chloe Price and Max Caulfield (Life is Strange)

Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn (Batman/DC)

Princess Bubblegum and Marcelline (Adventure Time)

Korra and Asami Sato (Legend of Korra)

Adora and Catra (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)

Sailor Uranus and Neptune (Sailor Moon)

The blue and red in the middle are Ruby and Sapphire from Steven Universe

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Okay, but who's the one with the trans flag?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That's a minor character from RWBY, in the later seasons when the show gets bad.

[–] JoeTheSane 7 points 4 months ago

No Luz and Amity?

I thought Harley is typically with the joker? Was that updated at some point?

[–] Glytch 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Harley and Ivy have had an on-again off-again thing going since the late 90's or mid 00's. It's been at least decade since Harley ditched Joker in the mainline comics and moved on to greener pastures.

[–] GratefullyGodless 8 points 4 months ago

They actually first implied it during the Batman: The Animated Series, as a "Sappho and her friend" style relationship, only coming out and saying it later in the comics.

[–] FluorideMind 4 points 4 months ago

Ivy what you did there.

[–] ZILtoid1991 11 points 4 months ago

Harley is bisexual, a demographic which often gets erased the moment they're not actively flirting with multiple people of different genders at the same exact time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The new(er) Harley Quinn animated series. it's very good. It's got big kite energy.

[–] Buddahriffic 3 points 4 months ago

I put off watching that for a long time because I didn't really like the Harley Quinn character and her obsession with Joker and that whole abusive relationship they had, compounded by all the people who treated Harley and Joker like it was a relationship goal.

But I was very pleasantly surprised when I did eventually give it a shot. Yeah, it does include some Harley and J stuff, but they kinda had to because of how ingrained that relationship was into Harley's pop culture identity. But it is done well. The series is one of my favorite in the Batman mythos.

It's also kinda interesting how Ivy seems to be holding up better morally than Batman himself does. She's an environmental warrior while he's a status quo warrior, and that billionaire side of him holds up less and less well as it becomes more and more apparent that even billionaire philanthropists are really just taking credit for giving away wealth they shouldn't have had in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Harley hasn't really been a thing with the Joker since forever. The comics have had her and Ivy as a thing for years.

[–] Telodzrum 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

She was obsessed with him for most of Suicide Squad. And she will be again in the next Joker film.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, the terrible Jared Leto vehicle and the Incel Manifesto are probably not the best depictions of her as a character.

[–] Telodzrum 1 points 4 months ago

Those goalposts heavy?
