To the people that think Harley Quinn needs to be away from the Joker

[imaginary-rainb0ws]

I simply don’t understand the people that say that harley needs to get away from the joker to find her true self and to become strong and independent. It just shows how much they don’t understand her character. If you think about it, Harley found her true self when she met the joker. Her character isn’t exactly independent as in she want to be on her own, the joker is who she lives for. He is her life. She can be independent as in she can defend herself physically, and she can be abusive. And she is strong because she knows what she wants and goes after it. She wanted to work with extreme personalities, she went to work in Arkham. She wanted the Joker, she got him. But her story isn’t exactly full of flowers and rainbows. Her relationship with the Joker is unhealthy. But we are talking about two insane, crazy as fuck, villains. Do you really their relationship is going to be healthy? Her story is supposed to be tragic. Thats the part people seem to forget. Harley Quinn is such a beautifully wonderful and complex character with a fascinating story, and I understand people care about her and want everything to be ok for her, but for people to discard all that and try to make everything for her all nice and tied up in a bow is an insult to her character. Harley Quinn would not be Harley Quinn without the Joker.

some things i think some people on tumblr need to understand:

• most of the people who ship jokerxharley are aware that it is an abusive relationship but can also appreciate them in fiction and wouldn’t condone that shit in real life
• the majority of jxh shippers who try to rationalize jxh aren’t abusive or don’t care about the abuse are people who are not in the fandom and haven’t read the comics/who aren’t educated on these things
• ivy has been abusive to harley in the past and although she is getting better now and their relationship is more ideal than joker and harley’s relationship however it’s not entirely stable/healthy
• people who ship joker x harley are not scum of the earth glorifying abuse but people who can enjoy things in a fictional, safe and controlled environment that they wouldn’t condone or like in real life (kind of like people who read books like “lolita” and appreciate literature that portrays negative things)
