I really don't get what's so appealing to writers and fans who make Bruce an abusive father. Why is it so fun? Why do people enjoy doing one of the biggest superhero of all times that dirty? How does that make any sense?

People always complain about how Batman is a power fantasy, but the fact that his actions aren't justifiable if applied real life doesn't mean that you have to fuck the character's fictional morals.

Every hero is a power fantasy, but they are enjoyable because they are good people (or people who try to be good). Bruce Wayne is a human being and he is capable of bad parenting and committing mistakes, but making him willingly hit his kids is just stupid.

Batman is and has always been about hope, about rising above your trauma, protecting who you love, using your pain to make the world a little better. Bruce doesn't go around "beating the mentally ill' just because, he does because they are dangerous people, criminals, terrorists who are constantly harming citizens with their actions.

With all that said; Bruce hitting his children/sidekicks/allies (or just purposefully harming them in any way shape or form) is incoherent with his character and all that he represents.

Batman brought Robin, especially Dick Grayson, in to help him. He didn't want a child soldier, he was comforting this kid and taking him to the police station when he asked to be trained so he could get the guy who killed his parents. He asked to become like Batman and Bruce, realizing that they were very similar, saw that he was also filled with anger and needed to be guided. That's why Dick became a better person than Bruce ever was, not because he was inherently good or something, but because even if their relationship was not perfect and troublesome at times they understood each other's pain like no one else would.

With all of Bruce and Dick's history saying that this father-son bond was filled with physical abuse just sounds wild to me. Same thing goes for Cass, Jason, Steph, Tim, Duke, Damian and any other child that Bruce parented or taken care of.

Jason and Dick are usually the victims of writers and fans who are full one Abusive-Bruce-Shit™️, and honestly, I don't think that's because they have remarkably difficult relationships, but because this fandom loves to make their favorite pretty "white" boys suffer.

No one cares if it makes sense for Bruce to be abusive towards his first sons, they just care that Dick and Jason are angsty. My prove of that? When do you ever see content of Bruce being abusive towards Cass? Damian? Steph? Duke? Never. Because those characters are either women or people of color largely ignored by both canon and fanon.

I'll admit that Damian and Tim do get angsty abusive dad content at times, because regardless of their actual relationship with Bruce Tim is a sad white boy and Damian is the largely white washed blood son, but they are still not the most common alternatives whenever family angst is the focus (despite the large fanon torture porn industry that Tim Drake goes through it is usually focused on other aspects of his life).

I don't really know how to end this, at this point I'm just ranting about annoying batfam fans, but, yeah, don't fuck over legacy characters by making them abusive dads bcuz u like saying ur fav has it worst👍

Little edit: In this post I talked abt Dick as a white guy, would like to apologize for that, I do know that he is romani but ended up forgetting to add that. Either way my point still stands as, just like Damian, his race is pretty much ignored by writers and parts of the fandom

[vertigoambrosia]

so i basically bought a chromecast just because the vimeo rocku app refuses to keep wxw videos in sync

wxw kinda lied about their site having native chromecast but fine

literally downloaded chrome again just to stream this

ok i think i just have to accept i don’t get bobby as a face

so we’ve got bobby, vinny, two shitty bois, and wholesome hamburger boy

it is a pun because he is very beefy

this is a pretty labored setup for this match

andy how can you talk about people needing to mature when you’re on the side of jay fk

is the mic constantly blowing or is the chromecast sound quality garbage?

nice flexing veit

avalanche please fuck jurn up

guys you have to help me talk to all these nice german boys i am very shy

esp ilja cause i won’t have a chance in new york

also pete bouncer is intimidatingly hot i can’t deal witht that by myself

i wish this were no dq instead of just no countout but i guess with carat coming up having a match with weapons might be a little much

sometimes big guy vs big guy matches don’t really hold my attention that well

just gets a lil slow - let’s punch each other on the outside

slowly

take a walk around the ring

also brawls that go around suck in person cause unless they’re right where you are, you have no idea what’s going on

lmaooooo did they just close the door on us

really?

...they;’re not even gonna cut to a recorded parking lot brawl?

ok

haha kelly is like ‘i kinda don;t think i should apologize at all but i’ll try anyway’

also: wearing a minoru suzuki shirt!

oh DAMN ‘you beat melanie gray? who HASN’T done that?’

oh julian...the hair

walter already annoyed he has to fight a child

this show is so weird; the matches feel so random

except for jurn/avalanche, but then that didn’t have an ending!

i’m guessing they fight in first round of carat but like...why book it here?

they’ve been hyping up ilja/tim on twitter so that shoul dbe fun...but also i guess they probablhy won’y be in the same sides of the bracket in carat?

oh that lil pele kick on the ropes was cute

oh my god these submissions walker is gonna break this child

walter trying to rip the shitty blond off of julian

i’m not gonna lie, i’m just being sort of sour right now with ringkampf obviously being phased out and ilja going to wwe and getting pulled of the new york show. also i feel like we’re really beginning to see the effects of cancelling shotgun on the storytelling, and tbh the writing./booking in general has been kind of off. i’m tired of things i really love and invest myself in  changing for...not exactle the better.

also i have a headache

anyway car boy put in a good effort before getting killed

yeah david ilu but that was kind of a dick move

hahaha david lecturing someone else about taking things personally

FINALLY, my rise bois

AWW look how proud lucky is of himself

them fumbling with the mic is so funny

who dis

oh it’s that leon guy

i feel like they’re assuming we are way more familar with him than we actually are

like, he wrestled a few matches like, a year ago or something; i’m not gonna recognize him

it’s weird too because wxw used to always have lower thirds for everyone

hey chromecast can you stop freezing for a sec

timo theiss is fun to heckle but his ~jetsetter~ character doesn’t really come across

though to be fair he just kinda shows up every once in a while

i don’t really have anything to say about this match

um

ok?

this sure is a choice

hahaha rainer ringer throwing his hands up in exasperation as they go backstage again

i mean i guess if they were gonna do a distraction spot, that’s a new one

wow just got a real good look at norman harris’ balls there

odd finish but good for u norman

timo promo package?????

awwwww tim

tim breaking my heart

holy SHIT that was one hell of a video package

this is a title match?

i bet this would have been better developed if we still had shotgun

(i’d like to say i’m done being sour for the rest of this post but unfortunatley i can’t shak eit right now)

jeremy graves putting his all into giving this match a story tho

oh! that was quite a flippy from leon

one of those ones where you barely understand what happened there

is marius from bielfeld? a surprising amount of people are behind him

why don;t they book leon von gasteren more often

hey fyi casting from your computer drains your battery ridiculously fast

awwww man if leon had won the title off of barely a pin that would have been crazy

honestly it’d be interesting to see marius lose it here; would be a surprise

oh chromecast thanks for freezing during the pin that was nice

oops being sour again

that was a silly but great plot segment

this match is very questionable but them barging in during the intermission is kinda funny

it would have been funnier if they had barged into the merch area though

or the locker room

everyone else is just fucking around and all of a sudden

LMAOOOOOOOO JURN

i mean i don’t really get why they didn’t just do that the first time they went out but whatever

ok see i wish we had known he was buddies with julian too

whatever marius

tim :3

omg wait what if tim starts selling his own merch like everyone else

this match is real good but my head hurts and i’m cranky

oh snap timo catching the enzigiuri

boys just taking a moment to sit

oh snap that was a nice counter to the butterfly

my psychiatrist upped my medication so i hope i can feel less sour and enjoy stuff more by the time i leave for carat

breaking news david starr is a really good promo

the bubtitles are weirdly lagging a lil

walter pretending like ringkampf is still a thing

ngl i do not feel like watching this main event but there might be plot afterwards

i wish they’d stop cutting to the wxw now logo before the entrances; it’s really annoying

hahaha jay just bouncing off veit

jeremy we fucking watched the opening promo you don’t need to recap it for us

i want jay fk to dig up one of bobby’s old pictures from when he was robert schilds and had that horrible haircut

vinny i can see your underwear and read the brand

ugh this everybody suplex spot is so stupid

veit miller is...not the diving type

also i shouldn’t have to say how i feel about the everybody dive spot

european clutch!

i am very ready for andy to not be champion and whine about it

LOL SOMEONE BROUGHT A SCHURLE JERSEY

or whatever soccer shirts are called

jurn realy

lmaoo cornered in the kitchen

....

just assume i said something sour here

oh we fucking finally getting the first round matches

rey fenix vs rey horus seems like a bit of a waste? like i assume they’ve fought in mexico so

oh snap ilja vs sekimoto is cool tho

CNN Host Cuomo Mocked After Claiming ‘Fredo’ Was the Equivalent of ‘the N-Word’ During Run in With Heckler

CNN host Chris Cuomo was mocked online after he claimed the name “Fredo” was the equivalent of “the N-Word” during a confrontation with a heckler.

The filmed run-in was posted to Twitter on Monday and went viral quickly, depicting Cuomo yelling angrily at a man after he had called him “Fredo” — a reference to Fredo Corleone, the weak brother of the Corleone crime family in “The Godfather.”

Cuomo claimed that using the name “Fredo” as an insult was “disparaging” to Italians and that the name was the equivalent of “the N-word” to African-Americans.

“Punk ass b*tches from the right call me ‘Fredo.’ My name is Chris Cuomo, I’m an anchor on CNN,” said the CNN host before threatening to throw the man “down these stairs like a f***ing punk” and that Cuomo would “f***ing wreck his s**t.”

Watch the video here:

A man in NY yesterday approached CNN's Chris Cuomo and called him "Fredo"

Cuomo: "You're going to have a problem"

Man: "What are you going to do about it?"

Cuomo: "I'll fuckin ruin your shit. I'll fucking throw you down these stairs"

CNN executive Matt Dornic came to the defense of Cuomo, saying that the network “completely support[s] him” after the president’s eldest son — Donald Trump, Jr. — said that he “assum[ed]” that CNN was “not be available for comment.”

Chris Cuomo defended himself when he was verbally attacked with the use of an ethnic slur in an orchestrated setup. We completely support him.

— Matt Dornic (@mdornic) August 13, 2019

Dornic then took it a step further, attacking Trump, Jr. and his brother Eric Trump as “dumb brothers” in response to another tweet by the president’s eldest son.

Speaking of dumb brothers…. cc: @EricTrump

— Matt Dornic (@mdornic) August 13, 2019

Reactions to the video from other users were mixed.

Some users mocked Cuomo:

About an hour after the video’s posting, a user on Twitter pointed out that a guest on Cuomo’s show — commentator Ana Navarro — had described the president’s son as “Fredo” in the past while on-air.

Welp, this is awkward. Here's a clip of @ananavarro calling @DonaldJTrumpJr "fredo" on…Chris Cuomo's show. https://t.co/gUMoyWvvEQ

— James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) August 13, 2019

President Donald Trump gave his thoughts as well, saying “the truth hurts” and that he “thought Chris was Fredo also” in a tweet on Tuesday morning.

I thought Chris was Fredo also. The truth hurts. Totally lost it! Low ratings @CNN https://t.co/yBpGjt4N1T

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 13, 2019

Others did not hold back their thoughts, with one user calling Cuomo’s equivocation of “the N-word” and “Fredo” as “pure racism.”

Did @ChrisCuomo  just say that “Fredo” is to Italians what the N word is to black people? Th N word is a dehumanizing word used against blacks who endured years of oppression. Fredo is a term from The Godfather, referring to the dumb brother. Equivocating the two is pure racism.

— Katrina Pierson (@KatrinaPierson) August 13, 2019

Does CNN’s head of PR still think “Fredo” is an ethnic slur after watching this? Because if it’s the N word for Italians like @ChrisCuomo says, I don’t understand why Chris seems so at ease with someone saying it here. An excuse just as fake as his news. #FredoCuomo https://t.co/8G8yuY80CK pic.twitter.com/1gwVyDVCob

— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) August 13, 2019

Fun fact about #FredoCuomo: Mario Cuomo used to refer to @ChrisCuomo as “the dumb one.” That’s why he doesn’t like being called Fredo.

— Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) August 13, 2019

So @ChrisCuomo says calling him "Fredo" is like the "N-word for us"

Weird, I don't recall him having an issue with Ana Navarro calling @DonaldJTrumpJr "Fredo" ON HIS SHOW ON CNN.

I also don't recall CNN having an issue with Rick Wilson calling Rep. Nunez "Fredo" on CNN.

Hmm… pic.twitter.com/cTdm9TdWMU

— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) August 13, 2019

As Oprah always reminds us, the n-word is the last thing black men heard before they were strung up from a tree or when black women were raped. Nothing is comparable to the n-word.

— Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) August 13, 2019

Remember when @ChrisCuomo said that Nick Sandmann was wrong for how he acted when Nathan Phillips was beating a drum in his face?

No bueno, Fredo! https://t.co/RDLGImuX0H pic.twitter.com/wI89SOyfUb

— Austen Fletcher (@fleccas) August 13, 2019

Hey, @NAACP, do you agree with @ChrisCuomo and @CNN that saying “Fredo” is the equivalent of the “N” word? #askingforafriend https://t.co/ojLF54X4uY

— Katrina Pierson (@KatrinaPierson) August 13, 2019

“Fredo” is not the “n-word for Italians.” It’s a movie reference invoked specifically to make fun of Chris Cuomo.

— Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) August 13, 2019

U want to know how culturally ignorant I am? I thought for several minutes that someone called @ChrisCuomo “Frodo,” and it just really pissed him off.

I’ll admit I had no idea “Fredo” was a thing.

— Jason Howerton (@jason_howerton) August 13, 2019

I think the guy was being a jerk to @chriscuomo, and I certainly understand Cuomo getting pissed, but there's just no way calling someone Fredo Corleone is like the n-word. There just isn't. That's plain nuts.

— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) August 13, 2019

So everyone must refer to @ChrisCuomo as Fredo from now on I see…

— Cassandra Fairbanks (@CassandraRules) August 13, 2019

So @ChrisCuomo says that “Fredo”— a character on The Godfather— is the same as the n-word? Equating the two is the very definition of white privilege and diminishes the generations of hate African Americans have had to endure. https://t.co/vbwIAran9S

— Steven Cheung (@CaliforniaPanda) August 13, 2019

Please, @NYGovCuomo, please tweet out: “@ChrisCuomo, you’re my brother, and I love you…”

— Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) August 13, 2019

Some defended Cuomo:

Fox News host Sean Hannity praised Cuomo, saying that he believes that the CNN host “has zero to apologize for” and was the one who “deserves the apology.”

I say good for @ChrisCuomo

He’s out with his 9 year old daughter, and his wife, and this guy is being a jackass in front of his family.

Imho Chris Cuomo has zero to apologize for. He deserves the apology. https://t.co/VnyMNgz14U

— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) August 13, 2019

Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) proclaimed that Cuomo “had every right to defend himself” while disputing the claim that “Fredo” was equivalent to “the ‘n-word.'”

1. The guy is an ass who rudely got in the face of a public figure on vacation with his family.

2. @ChrisCuomo had every right to defend himself.

3. “Fredo” is not the “n-word.”

4. Now can we move on to stuff that matters like Trump’s stupid trade war killing American farmers?

— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) August 13, 2019

Others came to Cuomo’s defense, as well.

I am not a fan of Chris Cuomo in the slightest but the guy insulted him and then sketchily recorded it. I don’t think that’s cool.

— Lisa Boothe (@LisaMarieBoothe) August 13, 2019

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Don’t approach a man in public and start chirping at him, film it, then whine when you get put in your place. @ChrisCuomo did nothing wrong here. Leave people alone and mind your own business. pic.twitter.com/yHTWXIwNoY

— Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) August 13, 2019

Good for @ChrisCuomo – standing up for himself (and his family) when harassed in an orchestrated setup

— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) August 13, 2019

Although I disagree that calling #ChrisCuomo "Fredo" = calling a black person the n-word, I get his point and support his response to this rightwing loser who ambushed him. Some people think having a cell phone & You Tube channel makes them journalists. 11 yr olds have both, so..

— Tim Wise (@timjacobwise) August 13, 2019

Too many of us have seen this happen when we are out with out famIiies. If this continues someone is going to get hurt. Have some respect. @ChrisCuomo has every right to defend himself and his family. https://t.co/UD6g3hy9Mo

— Corey R. Lewandowski (@CLewandowski_) August 13, 2019

Additionally, former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci tweeted out his support for Cuomo, agreeing that “Fredo” was a “slur” and that the confrontation was “quite racist.”
