Tumblr would complain about them erasing his gypsy heritage or whatever

What?

>>89143444
He never was a gypsy until that psycho changed his origin and had him raped.

>>89143419
I dont think circus origin needs to be rewritten. Traveling performers are sort of timeless. Not saying theyre the draw they used to be, but The Flying Graysons arent going anywhere

>>89143444
Wait, what?

>>89143983
What happened to the circus?

>>89144192
Dick got retconned into being Romani because his parents were travellers

>>89144225
SJWs like PETA insisted they take the animals out. They took the elephants out. They caved to pressue and added a female ringmaster. Now they're closed.

>>89144225
Poor ticket sales, weren't able to take their big elephant attraction on the road anymore, and it costs a ton of money to operate.

>>89144254
Fucking progressives ruin everything.

>>89144254
That's not why. It's because Devin "I changed my last name to match the character I'm writing" Grayson was an SJW ahead of the game. Now she's raising her kid to be transgender.

>>89144361
Hopefully he'll be retconned back eventually. Not like SJWs go too postal over DC these days.

>>89143419
No. None of the classic origins should be changed.

>>89144328
It didn't really ruin anything, nothing really changed about him except occasionally he gets described as Romani, and tumblr doesn't feel bad about liking a 'white male' because they can say he's a PoC

>>89144286
>SJWs like PETA insisted they take the animals out.

It's not like circuses have a long history of animal cruelty, or anything.

>>89143983
Sad. I used to go to the circus every year for my birthday when I was a kid. Shame to see it go. Then again even as a kid I could tell the animals looked really sad.

>>89144403
It sort of was when Higgens was writing, but Seeley wanted to revisit it for some reason.

>>89145689

Seeley is a big progressive type.

>>89145796
Yep. He even said on his Twitter that Helena was supposed to be half black and not just a dark Italian. But thankfully we've seen her have both Italian parents in the new Birds of Prey.

>>89144254
Being Romanian would make more sense than bein Romani. Romanians are big circus people. Also, Romani people look like middle easterners, and Dick has always looked white.

>>89145796
well thankfully I haven't seen it show too much in the book right now

>>89143444
I fucking hate when they change the heritage of characters for no reason at all other than being progressive. And that goes for all circumstances. For instance, I'm Jewish, but the Batwoman thing drives me up a wall. Bruce Wayne was never part Jewish. Never. Also, making an open lesbian character "Jewish" is a complete slap in the face to the religion that wrote Leviticus 18:22.

Rant over.

PETA is really celebrating right now and they say they're going for Sea World next, which sucks and I'm sure sales will start to go down because they managed to pressure them into stopping the killer whale shows- their biggest draw.

>>89149721
I don't really disagree with that last thing, the incidents that have happened with those whales are pretty fucked up.

>>89149759
Blackfish was full of lies.

>>89149676
Lel true that. I cannot wait when years from now Tyler Perry directs his Batman reboot where Batman is a independent religious black woman trying to help the people in the community (the black one) main villains consist of Popo, drug dealers , pimps and child services .

>>89149814
dont be retarded anon

>>89144286
Well great, now American gypsies will have to subsist on petty thievery like European ones.

>>89143983
RIP

>>89144225
They hired a female ringmaster two days ago.

>>89149676
You telling me there are no open Jewish lesbians out there?

>>89144413
>Dick a PoC
>He's just shy of albino white

I totally know what you mean but I'm sorry, liberal gymnastics aren't my thing.

>>89149814
>>89149759
Whale, singular. And it is now dead. You can't kill if you are dead.

>>89149721
Dear God, a place that treats animals like shit is being taken down, what a tragedy.

>>89143641
>had him raped
Wait what?

>>89144413
He's drawn as olive skinned or "khaki white" depending on the artist.

>>89143419
If you're not going to change the origin, how do you justify it in a modern setting? How do they fix it?

>>89143419
He was a part of a circus troupe
It is incredibly dated but its only there in the first place to explain his flippy shit as robin.
If there was ever a character who needed an updated origin like Tim and Jason got its Dick

>>89155255
cirque du soleil type setting

>>89155504
>implying that isn't still rife with animal cruelty

Have you seen what they make the Chinamen do to their bodies?

what's so dated about circus troupe? They still operate all over the world. The Circo documentary is great if anyone is interested irl circuses

>>89151250
Or they can just assimilate and get real jobs like the majority of American gypsies.

>>89156472
OP doesn't genuinely believe that the circus or acrobat acts would become so uncommon that they're confusingly dated. He's just asking an inane question for the purposes of conversation to distract him from the fact he has no real life like the rest of 4chan. The point isn't to be a logical question just a short diversion to ignore the roaring emptiness that's devouring him slowly.

>>89153098
Seaworld doesn't treat its animals like shit asshat

>>89149721
PETA kills way more animals than the places they want shut down

We FREEDOM'd them into just being another group of ambiguously brown people.

>circuses have a history of animal cruelty
All circuses must stop this

>islam has a major problem with zealotry and violence

refugees welcome.

It's not that I disagree with them on everything, I just wish they would have some coherent structure of thought.

Leviticus 18:22 is about men fucking men
It says absolutely nothing about women lying with women, and most of Leviticus is just hygiene tips anyway.

>>89160765
The Talmud still prohibits it.
