Literally why is she a hooker now instead of a clown?

Literally why is she a hooker now instead of a clown?

the Arkham games mostly

More relatable to modern audiences

/thread

she's a clown that looks like a hooker, not a hooker that looks like a clown. when was the last time you saw a hooker who had clown makeup, nigga?

Are you saying clowns can't be hookers?

Think with Suicide Squad's bad business we'll get her back to her old costume? Maybe get a decent writer on her?

Why would they change anything about her comics? Sure it's terrible, but it's one of their best selling comics right now, so clearly no one cares.

>slut shaming

Feminism
>Feminists now argue that a woman revealing her private parts in a risque way and dressing like a prostitute is now considered female empowerment.

...
What?.jpg

only if that woman spouses the correct political rethoric and keeps the narrative safe

Harley hasnt been Harley for some time now. Did it start in nu52?

I haven't really been into Harley outside of timmverse.

>imaginary characters drawn by men
>slut shaming

>fictional characters have feelings
>target demographic being men who grew up fapping to Harley

do people not know how to read between the lines, or do they judge EVERYTHING from face value? like seriously, whatever the gov'ts been putting in the water supply is super effective lately.

Most people know her from the Arkham games not that ancient batman cartoon.

Pretty much all of GG and probably most of Sup Forums don't get this but it's very different when it's women doing it than when randy old dudes are drawing women like that.

Shes always been one, she just got a better costume

Arkham she's still more a clown than someone that looks like they smell like a hospital dumpster.

Right? That was one of Aaron Diaz's earliest attempts at purportedly feminist work just pissing feminists off. 5 years later and he hasn't learned anything.

People like cheap hookers.

She's obviously a clown hooker.

>the wolfman, just there

That one was pretty good.

That's sexist yo!

because its profitable

how many times am I gonna see this thread on Sup Forums?

Doesn't Aaron Diaz have a nice collection of mostly naked female protagonists?

But they CHOOSE to be naked. Its different!

Honka honka

Remember. Women should be allowed to choose what they want to wear, but men shouldn't be allowed to draw what they want to draw.

Originally she was simply designed to be a slightly sexualized pun-themed hench-goon in a children's cartoon, when they expanded her backstory to make her a brainwashing victim in "mad love" with "Mr.J." but then somebody decided that the Joker's love slave shouldn't be that wholesome...
So they reimagined her brainwashing as less Joker exploiting her undiagnosed insanity and more as Joker pimping her out.
This might make more real-world sense, but they're fucking comics, there was no need to sexualize her victimization. The idjits at DC should have known that.

>idjits
it's "edjit" you fucking yankee

Because its empowering for girls.

When was the last time you saw Harley wear clown make up?

I'd read this.

When I paid one to.

Why the hell are we still pretending her original outfit wasn't SKIN TIGHT and that she was all about getting joker to "rev up his harley" and appearing naked covered in cream? Her design has changed but she was always a slutty clown

She's a hot topic goth girl, or sometimes a roller derby queen.

No it isn't

I mean, it is insofar as one is about real women making a choice about the display of their own bodies, while another is about men pandering to other men with drawings of fake women wearing stuff the men find sexy.

Neither is inherently wrong, but one is driven by female self-image and one by male sexual gratification. That should be pretty obvious on the face of it. I agree that saying all sexualization of women is bad is a farcical proposition, but let's be intellectually honest about this.

That's the problem, now she's just slutty.

Wolfman seems pretty happy.

>mfw clowns are my fetish

That's like complaining about all the OBVIOUS pandering to the female fans , what with al the abs and the shirtless scenes ALL male characters get, yet you never see some faggot telling a female writer to turn down the fanservice

>hooker in clown makeup

I just want the clown girl back in the tights and just doing simple but enjoyable plots like in Mad Love and Harley & Ivy.

>implying there aren't people on Sup Forums who complain about this

What the fuck is this design suppose to be?

>he's never hired a hot clown for a "children's party" that doesn't exist and paid them to fuck instead

A Harlequin

why the random green?

Vaguely "olde timey" sexy cosplay loosely themed around a jester.

But it's shit, regardless.

Now I know why people hated animated Killing Joke

Still a better costume than most that she's worn lately. Shame her Joker is even more abusive than the norm, what with his exaggerated sex drive and rapey tendencies.

Right, she was slutty, AND a clown. There were two parts to her design.
Imagine if you took Hawkman, a buff shirtless guy with a mace who's part hawk. Then you take away the hawk part so he's just a buff shirtless guy with a mace, but he's still supposed to be Hawkman.
Now imagine this change suddenly made him one of DC's most popular characters. Do you see why this would be annoying?

It's 100 times more Harlequin themed than what we've been getting lately, at least.

The DC writers are all 14.

Is Harley redesign headed by a woman?

Hookers are cooler than harlequins

So Margot Robbie was drawn by a man, too?

...

makes her easier to fap to

There hookers who DON'T wheat clown makeup?

To be fair, Carol flies around by the power of her magic glowing vagina.

Sluts should be shamed.

Hookers are sexier. Sluts for hire.

>>>/tumblr/

>Aaron Diaz
I thought that looked familiar.

Is this really in the movie?

I imagine there are, since you can't wheat things

I'd rather her look like her own thing instead of just a female Joker.

No, they edited out the bra. You should know that, that scene is the focus of every trailer.

Of course not, this is a children's movie. 13 year olds aren't allowed to see breasts, it would damage their fragile minds.

I'll wheat whatever I want, whenever I want

Hawks wings are part of a power set, did Harley's old costume give her clown powers?

Clown porn has gone mainstream

This is the dumbest thing I'll probably read all month. Incredible.

Now you know my feelings on new Harley.

Hawkman' wings are almost completely cosmetic. They help steer a bit, but the flying is all done by his belt.

again this thread?

>character whose whole gimmick is that's she's a dumb bimbo evil whore
>fucked her way trough school
>'wanna try my pie mr j'
>wanted to fuck bruce wayne

why are normies surprised harley is a megaslut?

I'm just glad she doesn't have red and black hair anymore.

No. I honestly can't fathom your level of retardation, user. I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Duo toned hair is the best though.

>duo toned hair
>duo toned eyes
Oh look, my fetish.

>Shame her Joker is even more abusive than the norm

What's the 'norm' with Joker?

>What's the 'norm' with Joker?
Muh Batman TAS. Don't you see, user? If anything diverges from the almighty Word of TAS, it is considered sacrilege. TAS IS LOVE, MASK OF THE PHANTASM IS LIFE.

FUCK YEAH, PREACH! FUCK YOU DC FOR RAPING MY CHILDHOOD!

It's good. Not as good as her alt.

>chatting with a normie friend about the Suicide Squad trailer
>she says that she's excited to see the movie, but shes not happy how Harley looks because 'Harley Quinn was never a slut!'

You should be sorry if you can't even handle a simple analogy.

But the woman only feels empowered because men find it sexy.

A classy slut perhaps, the movie one just looks like a drug dealer's bitch or something. But I guess it also works since Joker just looks like some goofy drug dealer anyways.

Who care, Harley is a shitty waifu fag character anyway.

Noone would give a shit about her if she wasn't hot.

>Stockholm Syndrome - The Character becomes an overnight sensation the moment she gets a skimpy redesign

>An actual strong female character will never reach mainstream appeal simply because one aspect of her design is deemed "problematic"

What a time to be alive. I will never understand modern pop culture.

>I will never understand modern pop culture.
No one reads comics.

My waifu sells better than yours.

yep, the slutty harley trend began with Arkham City and DC changed her design with the new52 to match.

Pirate Hooker...clown?

>yep, the slutty harley trend began with Arkham City and DC changed her design with the new52 to match.

No
