What's so special about Harley Quinn that she's become

She was on a cartoon people are nostalgic for.

>>86279102
this.

>>86279102
plus
-women like to be told that being a slut is ok (protip: it's not)
-guys like the fap material

Men like her because of tits and ass, women like her because she's so quirky, dangerous and doesn't give a fuck ~just like me.

I wish Mercy became popular.

Fun
Sassy
Precocious
Deadly

Make bunch of adjectives
Harley quinn hits all of them on some level.

>>86279073
She is a female wish fulfilment just like Batman is a male version of it.

I wish she had at least consistently appeared in comic books like Harley Quinn, but she gets nothing.

Lmfao not she hasn't, you're clearly a fucking dumbass if you think she is

She's a feminist icon.

that is a long, tangled rabbit hole about gender roles and the treatment of female characters and a bit of chaotics that I don't feel like delving into right now.

the short version is she's the closest to an actual wish fulfillment fantasy compared to most of her peers, who are just waifus.
one version of harley appeals to the vampire//werewolf romance crowd, where Joker is the 'beast' who sweeps them off their feet for a life of adventure, who is exciting and dangerous
the other version of harley appeals to the angry queer crowd, who escapes from her abuser and gets a hot girlfriend with whom she thelma & louise's her way through life in a blaze of glory while occasionally showing that despite her complete disregard for safety and well-being she'll be nice to people she likes.

Who's bigger? Friggin Wonder Woman, the meme DC has been trying to force for most of a century?

she's intelligent, nihilistic, and has a wicked sense of humor

Why do people pretend to give a shit about crap like this?
It has nothing to do with comics. Nothing at all.

I wish this version would triumph over the others, but hey that's how life works

It's Deadpool but with tits
Normies love Deadpool and most of them love Tits even more
Also somehow she's become an idol for Feminists all over the place.

She's got an actual clinical case of oneitis. Not that more modern stories haven't tried to downplay that.

Not really. It's mostly Conner. And mostly her art. Without that there's no real appeal.

I think the "slut" part is more due to her attire, her presence and her "lel soooo quirky!!! xD #justlikeus" personality than any actual sex she might engage in.

As in, it's more about what her fangirls would want to do if they were in her place, over what she actually does.

>>86279392
>the culture and countercultures regarding gender have nothing to do with the creation and implementation of gendered characters
next you'll insist comics aren't political in any way

>>86279528
You do know that's Harley in disguise right?

>>86279495
what the fuck does that have to do with murdering his partner? wouldn't something a long the lines of "some would say she's atoned for her past deeds" more suitable?

>>86279617
Anger is anger.

>>86279634
the 'male dominated field' she's speaking of is supervillainy.

>>86279495
Meh. Sadly, I'm not surprised. The feminazis idolize Valerie Solanas and was praising her after she tried killing Andy Warhol.

>>86279617
Many times it's posted, most people don't know the context. Which is very much the point. They just think it's another "unsolicited opinions on Israel?!?" or those pages about there only being male superheroes.

It's just meant to rile people up and they always fucking fall for it.

>>86279696
I love Andy Warhol, but don't blame anyone for trying to kill him.

>>86279073
She had a great voice and was an easy character to feel sorry for
She was a cheerful and bubbly personality in a show that lacked those
She had a great costume
She teased a relationship with Ivy for kids to find hot for unknown reasons
And then she became a juggalo whore
So there ya go

Shut up, Tara.

I didn't feel sorry for her until that one she kissed batman. I liked her personality but still felt she was bitch for the shit she did.

Men like her for fap bait.

Women like her because she glorifies being a vapid whore and gives them an excuse to dress like hookers or fetish models and act like retards for attention at conventions.

This is a very attractive design for her and I hate that because I'm sure she's a disgrace to the original character from BTAS

>>86279073
She's edgy? She's sort of the female answer to Batman for girls. Generally Wonder Woman is more of a female Superman in the sense she's quite goody goody. Harley is flawed and has no powers so that might be why she's so popular with the masses now, maybe more so than WW, at least until her movie comes out next year.

Then we'll see a ton of Wonder Woman's Halloween 2017...

>>86281622
>Then we'll see a ton of Wonder Woman's Halloween 2017...
Pffft. Yeah, right...

At the very least, it's easy to dye your hair, put on short shorts and wield a bat than dressing like an Amazonian warrior princess.

She fills the void of Waypool for single panel tumblr posts.
