>It seems that the objective of Harley Quinn is to please hormonal teenage comic book geeks by making her outfits skimpier and to sell a bunch of Hot Topic T-shirts. She is a consistent cosplay choice at most comic conventions. It honestly upsets me every time I hear someone say they want to be like Harley because she is badass. It upsets me even worse when they say they want a relationship just like Joker and Harley. It shows they don't know what they are talking about and that they completely missed the point of her. Domestic violence is a dumb thing that exists, but the hard reality is that it does exist. Harley Quinn was made with the best of intentions and those intentions have now been squandered by the culture we now live in.
Today I learned that only harmonal teenagers comic geeks like Harley. Which is why she's constantly displayed by grown women at conventions!
Juan Mitchell
Damn it that is so close to the right proportions for the banner contest.

over sexualizing doesn't exist. A key component of sexuality is visualizing your partner. They're just using the most basic part of human brain to sell shit.
People that have arguments against this are usually ugly or have some in-grained bias to start with that has nothing to do with what they're talking about.
Stop making bait threads.

The thing is, though, lots of females would like to be in an abusive relationship with a charming asshole. Lots.
I can't even blame them, because my ex was pretty abusive with me. She only emotionally, but physically as well, and despite knowing i shouldn't i still miss her. Sometimes i catch myself caressing the scars she left in my body while thinking fondly of her. It's fucked up, but we've have fucked up brains.
Jacob Carter
Over sexualizing is just shorthand for flamboyantly sexual representing. Don't get your ass tied in a knot, user.
Easton Sanders
>my boyfriend beats me but I dress up in leather and hot topic so I'm actually a strong womens! >plenty of dudes are more than glad to take advantage of this Harley fangirls are beyond fucked. At least ignorance is bliss.
Levi Harris
Usually the people in abusive relationship, that is, the victim, think of themselves as the emotional pillar of the relationship. They pity their abusive partners, thinking that it is their duty to take the beating and hold on and be strong to keep them together. They see themselves as a survivor and the better partner.
Jace Sanchez
>oversexualizing doesn't exist yes it does
oversexualizing isn't just a thing that women hate, men can hate shitty character whose sex appeal is so played up that it's actually not sexy at all
Robert Barnes
That partially describes Harley. She stays with Joker because she believes she can make him a better person, but at the same time admires his genius. Unfortunately she'll never keep his interest because Joker's more passionate about batcock than clowncock.

Another Disney payed article, just before the Suicide Squad movie come to the theaters. Disney/Marvel, your propaganda becomes disgusting at this point and pathetically predictable

That the writer doesn't know what he's talking about. Paul Dini was a 30+ year old vacuous actress-chasing virgin when he created her.
Eli Myers
>x is too sexual duly noted and ignored
Colton Baker
That's easy as butter to say when you most likely live in a place where the shit won't even come close to the fan.
Everybody on both sides have become ultra sensitive about everything.
Lincoln Richardson
I agree with you,but most outlets take the crazy part of Left Wing more seriously now,once they figure out that clowns like Anita are just as insane as people like Glen Beck it may stop.But yes that guy you're responding to is insane.

Hudson Kelly

what kinda faggot are you?
Isaac Butler
>whiny bullshit
But the reasons just quoted here is the exact same shit Sup Forums bitches about happening to her. Only thing off is forgetting to mention its the women that help drive the whorley personality.
Isaac Baker
She was more appealing when she actually looked like a harlequin. The Hot Topicization is an attempt at getting normalfags into the character.
It might also be because they wanted her to look less like Deadpool who has black and red as his color scheme while they built up her as a company counterpart to him. Instead of Ambush Bug who could've used some of the levity and depth that Deadpool has.
More likely it's just a hamfisted attempt at movie pandering, similar to justice League origin or the New 52's creation.
Colton Sanders
Your loss mate.
Josiah Myers
She really wasn't
Cameron Turner
enjoy your granny porn, brazzers
Lucas Robinson
she's completely correct, dc's constant pushing of harley and joker as a couple is stupid, and the fact that we're now seeing stories where harley is a strong independant woman, and stories where the joker actually loves her, is just another sign of a good story being warped for commercialization
Sebastian Powell

to be fair, Harley's original outfit is still the best, and every Arkham shit costume is garbage

Sup Forums has been bitching about Harley being sexualized?

Liam Morris
>Not having Harley & Ivy as relationship goals
That would just be trading one abusive, manipulative relationship for another.
James Hernandez
I always thought that Harley used her sexuality as a weapon? Or maybe that's just how I've justified her hyper-sexulisation in my head. I do miss TAS Harley costume ;_;
Jack Sullivan
I'm starting to pick up the trades. Is it still any good after Karl Kesel leaves writing duties?
Henry Bell
Wasn't that just a plant monster Ivy made for Harley so she wouldn't be lonely?
James Allen
Its still good, maybe a wee bit less,but i still enjoyed it,it gets a little darker and more violent.
Andrew Jackson
Yep. It gets a crime noir style to it, no more metas or anything like Kesel though, it gets more grounded
Asher Cook
Only Dini write them like that, and even he doesn't write them like that all the time, example pic related
Julian Howard
I always thought she was undersexualized.
Grayson Hill
Cuck article by SJWs. Not even reading it.

Jesus, that top quote looks like something out of a middle school girl's diary.
Benjamin James
Thanks user. That was cute, if a bit lacking in detail and with progression issues. I wanted a tsundere not-apology from Ivy for poisoning her.
>I need you to breath
Gosh, subtext: the comic.
Ayden Gray
Can I get the comic? All I'm getting are blogs and some clickbait sites.
Christopher Lee
Is a backup story from Batman Adventures v2
Parker Rodriguez
Oldest excuse, lol
Shes supposed to be insane like the joker. Like, of course shes sexy and fit, but people are supposed to be like "If only she didnt look like a homicidal clown, then maybe..."
Not supposed to ACTUALLY get your wish, her no longer looking like she has anything to do with the Joker.
Hey, why not just give her a cheerleader outfit and some pom poms? THERES an original character. Dont want her to be TOO FREAKY....
Cooper Sanchez
I'm mixed on Harley in general. Sure, she has become one of Batman's most recognizable rogues, and as a man she does good things for my peen.
That and her subtext turned text with Ivy. But I don't understand her break-out and rise to prominence to the point she has several ongoings, a large role in Injustice, AND now is practically the star of her own movie (which just so happens to be only the third DCEU release thus far.)
It's slightly baffling. I still find her little more than slightly entertaining in the same way my clownish friend is. In small doses, she can be fun, but as she lingers she just gets annoying.
Joshua Garcia
Ty user, would you guys recommend Batman Adventures as a whole?
Noah Lee
>Harley Quinn was made with the best of intentions and those intentions have now been squandered by the culture we now live in. What intentions are we talking about here? Was Harley intended to be some kind of warning to girls to not become a mentally unstable turboslut who chases after a toxic and abusive relationship?
Ethan Lopez
Only Volume 1 (which is based in early BTAS). Volume 2 is shit
Jayden Russell
>I will never be able to kidnap Harley Quinn and then rape her in front of the Joker while he laughs it off damn
Jace Gutierrez
If she is, it didn't work...

Wait. Is that a picture of Supergirl?
Levi Wilson
Yep
Nicholas Sanchez
Oh yeah, I remember that rocket-themed villain.
Grayson Sanders
You guys rant more about SJWs than my 38 year old father in law who still goes out drinking and thinks fighting black guys and watching guys fuck his wife for coke is cool.
Carter Kelly
>Forgetting the first female orgasm shown in a kids cartoon
Nope. It's what they actually published and it was intended to be taken 100% seriously It was back when DC went all in on the SJW bandwagon I'm pretty sure they got 90% of it out of their system now so we should be Gucci from here on out
Jason King
Along with other characters that show lots of cleavage/skin. It's almost like men like boobs and women like attention and the relationship is mutually beneficial. But no, some people just can't accept that.
Ethan Bennett
w-what
Asher Morris
Don't lie to user like that, you will give him a heart attack and a aneurysm
Aaron Johnson
>It seems that the objective of Harley Quinn is to please hormonal teenage comic book geeks
The only thing that bothers me here is that once again comic fans are getting the blame when it's clearly fans of the Arkham games and deranged women ho want this Harley
Jason Watson
>She is a consistent cosplay choice at most comic conventions This is the one point that matters. They're making Harley easier to cosplay for attention-starved sluts who don't read comics but effectively function as booth babes that PAY YOU to help boost event sales through sex appeal.
Nicholas Green
the odyssey online will literally publish your 16 year old sister with too much time a laptop and a starbucks visit.
on the topic though, I agree that harley has been oversexualized. Lots of Bat's rogues get misinterpreted, look at the the joker for god's sake.
Eli Rodriguez
Holy fuck, how is current Harley Quinn men's fault? All of her new comics are made to appeal to women, this idiot doesn't know what she's talking about.
Angel Mitchell
OP pic is hot as fuck.
Daniel Adams
God that was such a good read.
Nicholas Nguyen
I was going to say, her outfit in the comics right now is basically like a football outfit or something, isn't it?
and try to find any male comic fan who likes Harley post-BTAS
