>Why do they let a racist homophobic character like him become popular?

I fail to see the problem? He's a horrible person, who's treated as one. In the comics, he's literally the Rogue that the other Rogues think is a dickhead, to the point that they actively like his son better.

This is a boring and played out routine, OP.

The concept of a villain protagonist eludes her.
Suicide Squad should have had varying amounts of sympathy for each character. Deadshot and Diablo at the top, with Boomer and Croc being irredeemable pieces of shit and I love them for being that.

There's a reason why Eric Cartman from South Park was/is one of the more popular characters. It's because he's a racist, sexist, homophobic, manipulative, sociopath. That's what makes him entertaining, on one hand you're disgusted by him but on the other you're wondering what he's going to do next.
Kind of the same reason why Disney villains are always the most fondly remembered, cause they're charismatic as hell.

There was this one story where Swamp Thing helps Croc escape Arkham and brings him to his swamp in the south. Batman chases him all the way down there, fights Croc, but Swamp Thing steps in and convinces Batman to leave Croc to Swamp Things domain.

As a parting words Swamp Thing says he will inform Batman if Croc were ever to leave his swampy abode.

Then they can portray him as a person doing villain things.

Not intimidating the audience by blatantly showing off his racism and misogyny. That fucker needs to go die in a fire along with the actor who thought it was fun to play a rapist on screen as a hero and the writer who actually included it in the film.

>>85888912

He is, right up until you piss him off. Which is hard, granted, but if you manage it?
There's the time the Gotham City police arrested her (she was escaping Louisana after being arrested for beastality... for being with HIM), and he went over there, demanded his wife back, and basically fucked Gotham City up entirely when they didn't do it. Even kicked Batman's ass.

Eventually Batman got them to release Abby by convincing the mayor to drop the charges ("Oh, you're going to arrest every human in a sexual relationship with something that's nonhuman, even if it's completly sentient? Lemme call my buddy SUPERMAN and see what he thinks about that"), but in general, he's a pretty chill guy.

When I was about 14-15 or so my parents weren't on great terms, basically they had a fight and eventually my dad went to work. About five fucking minutes later I hear glass breaking, when I get to the kitchen my mom is standing there slowly taking plates from the cupboard, pauses for a few seconds, and then throws them at the fucking ground, when I ask her what the fuck she's doing she says "oh, these plates have chips in them" before throwing more. She wasn't even screaming or crying or anything, just fucking standing there throwing plates on the ground.

I don't think women are actually capable of processing emotions like anger or sadness, they just go into some sort of weird 404 state whenever they're somewhat emotional.

Actually, judging by the statistics, the male equivalent to this particular flavor of fucking crazy is to stick a gun in their mouths and kill themselves.

>>85903739
Dumbass, I was saying that comparing a woman breaking plates to a man lurking around for a fight isn't comparable at all. When women BOD they often sit emotionles,s breakdown, maybe self harm, break some shit. More commonly men kill themselves.

Men going around looking to beat people up is more comparable to gendered violence committed by women as a venting process, since they can often get away with it unharmed especially if in public.

You're the disingenuous one, and shit bruh you can't even fucking read. What good are you?
