have you ever shipped something so hard that you become irrationally happy and make a sound akin to steam escaping from a kettle everytime they so much as stand next to eachother

When have people said she hasn’t been interesting?
I just find it strange why people are making a hero out of someone who kills people regularly.
Because it’s ok if you’re overcoming abuse.
Lmao literally where are you seeing people say “murder is okay if you’re overcoming abuse”?
Also people are making a hero out of her because for some reason DC is making a hero out of her. It’s hard to not follow that kind of characterization when that’s all DC is giving people.
I think the reason fans tend to overlook the murders Harley has committed has nothing to do with her being an abuse survivor and everything to do with exactly how she kills people. Harley tends to bring an element of whimsical humor to her crimes, even when committing murder, and by participating in what she views as a fun little game rather than exhibiting obvious cruelty (from her perspective, anyway–of course killing innocent people is a very cruel act) it makes it more palatable for the reader. For example, in Gotham City Sirens Harley and Joker play what they refer to as “game night”, where they run through Arkham Asylum and kill security guards.
See how happy and perky she looks? That’s why so many fans love Harley: she perpetuates horrific crimes that would appall readers were any other character to commit them, but because she’s so fun-loving and charming she sort of gets away with it by being adorable. Whether or not that’s acceptable is up to each individual reader to decide–this is just meant to be an explanation, not an excuse.
