[DC Comics] Nobody: Hey Roach, what's your beef with comics Gar Logan (AKA Beast Boy/Changeling)?
Me: -slamming down a massive pile of comics with sticky notes strewn throughout- OH, LET ME COUNT THE WAYS!

I'm not gonna say my love of Danny Chase was influenced by how much he gave Gar shit, but it definitely didn't hurt.

This post brought to you by, someone reminding me of the fact that Gar tried to kill Joey when they first met.

(Which, like, I get why, but also, fuck Gar.)
Roach

All that said, I would give my left arm for any animated Gar to show up and show Danny how much better of a person he is in literally every other universe.

(Yes even the 'TTGo' universe! He might be an annoying little Imp but he still manages to just barely be better)
My first introduction to Gar was him sexually harassing a maid and later constantly perving on Donna and Kori.
Also him humiliating Terra during training for no real reason other than he thought it'd be funny.

but
Platinum, sexual harassment of one's female friends is natural and understandable!
Roach

YEP! That wasn't my intro to him (that was John's Titans) but it sure was a shock to go back and read the Terra arc only to see THAT

and definitely wouldn't get your ass beat by an alien from a warrior culture and a literal Amazon

God I wish Kori had kicked his ass
kaylin

(this is also why Terry Long somehow survived flirting with Kory in front of Donna)

I also hate how in the later comics when he's somewhere in his early to mid 20's, they suddenly decide to shove him into a relationship with Raven just because that pairing got popular...having forgotten they de-aged Raven into a teen.
Roach

Good job DC
Roach

owls_in_moss: oh shit! I forgot he did that! God Terry was shitty
I think that the logic was that a lot of people got a lot of leeway with being gross around Kori because she was from a sexually liberated culture or something
It's still garbo behavior
Roach
2023-06-30T01:36:23.000Z
Platinum: It sure is! They tried to pull the same thing with Bart supposedly trying to peep on her and Raven after he'd been killed off. Thanks I hate it

"Kory doesn't mind skimpy clothes because she'd be happy to go nude!"
listen, if I were a nudist, I'd be even less likely to wear a thong because why put myself through the discomfort?
Roach
2023-06-30T01:38:39.000Z
That's a great point!
kaylin
2023-06-30T01:41:36.000Z
wrangle a string bikini onto these boobs? why fuckin bother?
kaylin
2023-06-30T01:42:48.000Z
(also, RIP Raven's entire characterization, it was scooped out and replaced with emo-goth)

oh my god, yeah. I really miss 80's Raven. Not that I don't like some Goth Raven on occasion but I wish she's stayed out of the main continuity. We have cannon AU's for a reason
Roach
2023-06-30T01:47:21.000Z
I get why it happened, but I hate it
kaylin
2023-06-30T01:47:55.000Z
because magic = witch = goth!
because she's a dark magic girl with a demon papa and the TV show.
Roach

Def had a lot to do with the TV show. The show was also why we got Gar/Raven despite it making no sense in comic's cannon.
Roach

Fans of the show eventually started writing comics and made that shit happen despite it being a major YIKES
