year of our lord 2025 and thomas astruc is still beefing with children over a fictional character 😭😭😭 “you don’t understand chloé cannot be redeemed because she is privileged and also EVIL” bro you literally redeemed her father who is the white corrupted politician who enabled her behavior since the days she was born. i don’t know if you think your fanbase suffers from long-term memory loss but we actually remember the many times YOU wrote him as corrupted and willingly submitting to chloé’s ebery whim. “yes but that’s because she’s EVIL” and who taught her that? who enabled her? who failed to do their job? do tell us, we’re all ears!

Deny

Audrey's verbal abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect of Chloe for most of her life has either been ignored or recontextualized as a mother punishing an out of control child. André enabling Chloe at every turn and giving her the Rich Person Parenting Style (read: I can do whatever and get whatever I want) has been scrubbed from the show and it's existance denied by the writers.

Attack

Chloe's bullying of Marinette/the whole school is used as evidence that she's irredeemably evil, even though other characters (André) aren't held to the same standard.

Reverse Victim & Offender

Season 4 onwards, Chloe's relationship with her father André is rewritten & recontextualized with her as an abusive 14 year old daughter and him as the put upon abuse victim of both his daughter and wife.

In the scrapped version of Revolution, André disowning Chloe and granting himself sole custody of Zoé is casted as an abuse victim (old man André) breaking free of his abuser (14 year old child Chloe, who was raised by André to be an Evil Rich Person, who was shielded of any negative consequence of her actions by André, etc.).

What are Cassandra Cain thoughts on the Perez family and was she part of the batfam during the neglect?

She’s my precious baby, but I know she is loyal to Bruce. But also the Perez' wouldn't last if she was there, she knows everything.

So I'm wondering if like Duke she arrives later and decides to embrace them? Like, how can you look at Rosa loving her kids and not be like "I want that 😢." Specially with the insanity that are Cass' bio parents.

It would be funny because Cass isn't as sweet as she is usually portrayed, she can and will beat a bitch, (that bitch usually being Jason. I don't remember correctly but I think the only batboys she doesn't throw hands with are Tim and Duke) she is the same fighting level as Bruce too 😭

Also, she strikes me more as a mommy's girl than daddy's girl but I can't confirm, cause well, her mama is absent 😶

Oh boy, that's a good question.

First of all, I start this by admitting that I don't know about Cassandra as much as the other characters, so I apologise for any slight innacuracies. That said, it's hard to keep up with DC's canon these days. But I confirm, she's only chill with Tim, I think. She has thrown hands with all the batboys at some point, specially Jason ashsdf. Only Tim and Duke are safe as far I've seen.

Now, to answer the question:

Everyone in the family knows that Rosa forced Bruce into the marriage because she knows their identities and threatens to expose them otherwise. So, yeah, they're all kinda pissed at her and resentful. Cassandra is no exception. She first views her stepmother as this evil golden digger who used vile ways to get Bruce and her kids low-key as opportunists just like her, but the thing with Cassandra is, as we know, that she can see things most people can't.

Before Duke arrives, she already clocked the Perez family weren't all what they seemed. Like you said, Rosa has her flaws and she's not really a good person, but she loves her kids more than anything. Literally most of the shit she does is for them. Cassandra finds it hard to think of her as this pure evil villain when she sees her brushing her oldest daughter's hair before school even though she protests she's old enough, or when she ruffles Marco's hair with the softest eyes, or when she's teaching her youngest daughter how to bake sweets she likes as a bonding activity. She might be cold and untrustworthy with the Bruce, but when it comes to her children, she seems like an entirely different person. Her eyes turn the softest she's ever seen, and her hands are always so gentle and tender with them. Just the way she handles leaves no doubts that it's true love.

And Cassandra can't help but think that a woman capable of such love can't be all bad. And deep down, a part of her wishes she could have that. Regardless, she doesn't go out of her way to bond with her because, like you said, her loyalty is with Bruce first.

It's different with Bruce's daughter and the twins, since she doesn't really resent them at any moment. She out of all people can't blame others for their parents' crimes, but she's definitely part of the neglect. She doesn't do it on purpose, she just...doesn't know how to approach them. They have nothing in common. She can't relate to them the way she does with the others. For someone who already struggles with social interaction and mostly relies on hanging out with people equally fucked up as her (aka the batfam), well, you can guess.

Besides, reminder that the Perez family have resided on the other side of the manor since their arrival and have spent all the years until the current timeline leading separate lives from the Batfamily. The only times they're all in the room together are on the rare occassions they all have family dinners, because the Perez family go as far to make different schedules to never eat in the same table with them unless there's no choice. Cassandra only sees them when they cross paths around the house, which it's not often, and they barely talk. That doesn't give her enough material to read them properly and figure out their secrets. Plus, as bad as it sounds, she's not interested to. They're the normal ones of the family, who aren't involved in the bloody bussiness of crime fighting, who don't have to go through the same hell. They can simply enjoy the luxury and safety of being civilians.

They're not...tainted, like her.

In her head, she even convinces herself it's for protection. She doesn't want to ruin the perfect picture of normal family they have (again, she doesn't interact enough with them to notice the cracks), so she thinks its reasonable to keep them away. She can't bond with them anyway. Nor reach a mutual understanding. They're too different. Opposite worlds and all of that.

Instead, she's content on catching glimpses from afar, of what they have, what she could've had in another life, and move on.

That's it, until the Signal and Red Hood find her in that state after falling off the window. On the verge of death, and no one knows what happened or how, or why she was even there. Cassandra looks at her as she lays in the hospital bed, unconscious and recovering, and feels the crushing weight of her guilt. Her failure. Because she definitely blames herself, just like Jason. Ironic. She thinks she failed as a sister. That in her determination to keep her safe, she did the oppposite.

Eventually, when the Perez family are forced to interact more with the Batfam due to some circumstances that happen later, Cassandra gets to see them in another light. Now she interacts with them more often. There's no hiding, no running away, no avoiding. And being Cassandra, she's the first to clock the loopholes in their facade. She knows they're hiding something, have been for a long time, but can't figure out exactly what because they're elusive as fuck.

But she also sees more of Rosa's motherly affection, the twins being endearing (when they're not pranking the batfam) and N! Daughter being more than just this spoiled rich girl with no problems in her life. And the more she sees....the more she wants to be part of it.

Heyyyy am I crazy to say that this guy reminds me of sniper…

Sniperspy love child if you will?

He literally shoots a sniper rifle, always smoking, his fit reminds me of spy too.

Miraculous Ladybug is one of those shows where the premise has so much potential in terms of themes, character development, and world-building, that it is actually astonishingly impressive how terrible the final product is.

speaking of struggles around neurotypicals, the way peridot was treated in steven universe also very much resonated with me sometimes.

particularly that episode where amethyst keeps encouraging peridot to talk shit about the other gems, but then got offended when peridot said something insensitive about her.

i've seen so many people like this who take great pleasure from gossipping about others or even insulting people to their face, but can't handle criticism or jokes directed towards themselves. they'll call you sensitive if you get hurt by their insults, but they're totally in the right to feel offended when you do the same to them.

and i'm not saying peridot wasn't in the wrong here. she was definitely saying some insanely insensitive things about the gems and part of it is because she was bigoted, but i also think part of it is just that she's trying to be funny and doesn't realize that she's coming off as rude. and it doesn't help when amethyst was laughing at her "jokes" and acting as if they weren't insensitive until it was directed towards her.

it's really hard to determine the boundaries of a joke with neurotypicals. people usually don't understand when i'm joking even though i try to make it so clear. and i try my best not to say anything rude and often times end up overexplaining my intentions, but it seems like they can get away with saying whatever they want, as long as they maintain the "right" tone and make the "right" facial expressions.

anyway, that whole episode reminds me of the many interactions i've had with neurotypicals. of course i'm not saying that all neurotypicals are like this, but the ones i've interacted with are very self-centered and hypocritical when it comes to things like this.

I've noticed this pattern with antis in fandom where, in their attempt to distance themselves from anything and everything "problematic" in their fandoms, they refuse to acknowledge when they DO enjoy something problematic. Therefore, they don't recognize the problematic elements of the ship, character, media, etc. They'll also heavily downplay or deny any problematic. aspects of their favorite fandom thing.

I just saw an example of this and it is blowing my mind right now and I need to share this with y'all.

It involves the comments on this video.

Some context for Princess and the Frog: the blonde girl is Charlotte, also called Lottie. She's the main character Tiana's best friend. Charlotte's goal was always to marry a prince, and she almost marries (who she believes to be) Prince Naveen, but once she sees that Naveen and Tiana are in love, she tries to help them turn back human so they can be together.

At the end of the movie, Tiana and Naveen get married, and this scene plays after. Charlotte dances with Naveen's kid brother, and says "I've waited this long" in response to him saying that he's 6 and a half years old.

Now Charlotte's line here, if you look at the context clues of her story line, implies that she's saying "I've waited this long for a prince to marry, so I can wait longer for Naveen's younger brother to grow up." It's just a joke. Albeit, a joke that many will find to be very uncomfortable and inappropriate, but a joke nonetheless. I highly doubt Charlotte is actually going to "wait for" this child to grow up to marry him. She's making a joke at her expense, about her desperation of her dream to marry a prince.

BUT FOR SOME REASON.... many of the comments are like "she means that she's been waiting to DANCE with a prince."

I'm completely and utterly serious y'all. Here are some of the comments along those lines, with thousands of thumbs up each.

If you've seen this movie, you'll realize that these comments make absolutely no sense for more than one reason.

1) Charlotte danced with Prince Naveen (or at least with the villain disguised as him) earlier in the movie. She danced with a prince already. Why would that still be her dream if she already accomplished that?

2) Lottie speaks multiple times (during her childhood and in present day as a young adult) about her dream of "marrying a prince." Not dancing with a prince. Not meeting one. No, she wants to MARRY A PRINCE AND BE A PRINCESS.

This video has some clips of her saying this, at the time stamps 0:20, 2:52, 4:08, and 5:21.

Charlotte does give up her dream of marrying Naveen specifically for Tiana, because she see that he makes Tiana happy. But with how she jumps in like a wide receiver to catch the bouquet at Naveen and Tiana's wedding, it's clear she still has her dream of marrying *A* prince, just not Naveen.

But back to the comments on that video.

The comments seem to be downplaying the actual implication of her line. It's almost like they're desperately trying to ignore what she actually meant and make it more wholesome because they don't want to admit that their favorite movie has an uncomfy and inappropriate joke.

It's disturbing that this is yet another example where people in fandom (who are fantis or have been influenced by that fanti mindset) are downplaying a scene (or a ship, trope, etc) that is ACTUALLY problematic because they personally like the movie or the character and they don't want to admit that it has some issues. Instead of just admitting "yeah that scene/line was kinda fucked up and gross," they are jumping through HOOPS to make it seem more innocent than it was. And this is completely blowing my mind and is honestly concerning.

If you want to personally interpret it in a different way, in a way to make it more palatable to you, be my guest. That's what fandom and fanon is all about and I do that a lot too. But to see so many people outright deny the actual implications of this line is... bizarre af. It's one thing to be like "hmm yeah I don't like that, so I'm going to personally interpret this ship/trope/scene differently so it's more comfortable to me." It's another thing entirely to be in complete denial and ignore the actual context of the character and their story.

Also, so many of the other comments on the video aren't even commenting on the actual scene or on what Charlotte said. They're just generic comments on how much they love Charlotte as a character or how they miss this 2D animation. It's like they're trying reallyyyyyy hard to ignore the joke that's being made.

On the grander scheme, this is concerning because these people are refusing to acknowledge something that's inappropriate at best and predatory at worse (an adult "waiting" for a child to grow up) because they don't want to be caught enjoying/supporting something "bad."

All their talk about normalizing and normalization, but they're the ones kinda normalizing bad things by downplaying them or being in denial of it when it's in THEIR favorite media. And that is very concerning and a big issue.

Me: minding my business

Miraculous Ladybug: Ivan is the son of a non-miraculous based supervillain (opening the door for other major characters to be retconned the same way, implying he may or may not have superpowers himself because of his exaggerated strength) abd has been hiding this fact about himself the whole time out of shame; Gabriel wrote a letter (while he was dying from Cataclysm and going insane) asking Adrien to become a supervillain so he could wish him and his mom back to life; Nathalie is an agent of a secret Evil Rich Person Conspiracy that is secretly behind 80% of the shows plot points (Gabriel was also a member of the rich person conspiracy and stole the miraculous on their orders, he may or may not have went rogue at some point while pretending to still be on their side, Tomoe is also a member of the rich person conspiracy and she is lying to them about why Ladybug covered up Hawkmoth's identity), and Nathalie has an evil dad in the rich person conspiracy who is implied to be acting on his own interest to gain the miraculous for his own cause or whatever
