Listen up Americans.

Your US House of Representatives recently passed the properly dubbed the “Deny Americans the Right to Know” (DARK) Act, a measure that makes it illegal for you to require knowing if GMOs are in the the food you eat.  This bill was, of course, backed by the food industry and Monsanto, the crop company that paves the way for genetically modifying crops.

If you don’t understand yet why this should be a big deal to you, let me lay it out:

This bill was not about banning GMOs

This bill was not about reducing GMOs

This bill was not about requiring companies label GMOs

This bill was about preventing you as a voting member of the United States from deciding further down the road that you DO want to know what foods do and don’t have GMOs in them, for whatever reason.

Your right to know, your freedom to equal and reasonable knowledge, has once again been snuffed out because the corporations that make their money off of you have more power in our government than you ever will.  This isn’t the first time it’s happened, of course. Big Tobacco spent years successfully lobbying the government into telling people that smoking was safe, despite evidence to the contrary.  The Sugar Lobbyists had the government threaten to withhold the US’s contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO) if WHO didn’t change their “recommended daily sugar intake” to allow for more sugar.  Your health and safety is constantly being pushed to the back-burners because corporations want to be able to make more money off of you, and it’s time to stop ignoring it.

It doesn’t matter if you’re for or against GMOs, because the American people still deserve the right to make decisions about GMO labeling in the future.  If, in 3 years, a dozen peer-reviewed studies came out showing a correlation between GMOs and cancer, and you decide that you want to know which foods you’re buying have GMOs-- the DARK Act will have prevented that.  If eventually the splicing of peanut genes into bananas ends up causing allergic reactions in people allergic to peanuts, and you decide you want to know which bananas are allergen-free-- the DARK Act will have prevented that. 

This measure isn’t about the ongoing debate over the safety of GMOs. The DARK Act is about the food corporations, for whom it’s more profitable to produce GMOs, cutting your tongue out before you even feel the need to speak up.

Well speak up, America.

Do you have a burning question about Jason Todd that only someone who wrote him could answer?  Do you like Judd Winick?  Are you a Red Hood fan?

If so, this is for you.

I’ll be holding a short interview with Judd Winick: the man responsible for the resurrection of Jason Todd as the Red Hood, the screenwriter for the Under the Red Hood Movie, and notable DC writer on titles such as: Batman and Robin, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, and more; and he’ll be answering YOUR questions!

Send me an [ASK] starting with “JW:” and followed by your question, like so:

At the end of the month (4/30/15) I’ll pick out about 10 of the most common or most interesting questions sent in, and take them to Winick.

You may send asks on anon, but if you send them off anon and your question is picked, I will tag your URL in the interview posted to my blog!

Good luck DC fans, may the best questions win :)

And please reblog this so your fellow fans get the opportunity too!

Batfamily + Myers Briggs :: Jason Todd + ENFJ

I can’t keep quiet on this one.  It already feels like this series is more ‘make the character fit the type’ than ‘make the type fit the character’, but considering there’s so much misinformation on Jason Todd rampant on Tumblr, this one in particular bothers me.

ENFJ?  This is a Jason Todd I need to meet, because it’s certainly not the one that I know from comic canon. 

Jason Todd is an Introvert. I’m just going to focus on that, even though I’d confidently type Jason as an ISFJ, because its the most obviously incorrect virtue of this post. 

Barring, possibly, Red Hood and the Outlaws, where Jason’s characterization was drastically changed, it’s remarkably clear that he is not an extrovert.  Although he has teamed up with other people on rare occasions, Jason has always much preferred working alone, and being alone.

When Bruce found him, Jason was roughing it on the streets of Gotham.  He wasn’t running it with a gang, or other street kids his age, as we see most of Gotham’s wayward youth doing, he’s alone.  And we know it wasn’t a he didn’t have a choice thing, Jason lived in the deep cesspool of crime alley, toughing it on his own was absolutely a choice.

Batman #408

Once Jason joined up with Batman, he still didn’t show any desire to spend his time in social settings, much preferring to stay at that manor and train.

Batman Annual #12

And when Jason and Bruce had a falling out after he killed Felipe Garzonas, Jason ran out to be on his own for hours.  He didn’t call any friends (he never was one for making them), he didn’t seek losing himself and his worries in a social setting.  He wanted to be alone, where he wouldn’t be bothered.

Batman #426

The only thing that changed after he died was that Jason no longer had the support network the batfamily offered.  When we see Jason next (chronologically), in Red Hood: Lost Days, he travels around the world alone to hone his skills.  Disregarding the N52 changes (which I do), he doesn’t make any lasting friends or acquaintances during this time.  In fact, for practically Jason’s entire time as Red Hood, we never see him socializing.

Battle for the Cowl #3

The fact is, there’s no evidence that Jason Todd is an extrovert.  None.  Because he isn’t.  Jason likes to be alone, he prefers it, he always has.  This is reflected in his work and in his personal life.  There’s a reason virtually every source types Jason as an Introvert.

I don't want to flood other people's dash with all this, but that is a great analysis that I may reblog later!!!! and honestly the main reason I made that decision is because I wanted selina in that type, and I can only do one edit per type. I actually had a discussion about this with someone and this is where I settled in the end. you're not unfounded, and I see where you are coming from. I am just mostly focusing on what "official" profiles say that so I can quote them and it will make sense

No worries, you don’t have to reblog or anything haha. I just don’t understand why you can’t have more than one character as the same type. That’s how it would be in reality, so why not type them the way you actually think they are? It sounds like you’re typing the characters incorrectly on purpose, and it rubs me the wrong way to see unfounded assertions on the internet, because that’s exactly how misinformation gets around. This is already a severe problem for comic book characters in particular just because it’s expensive and time-consuming to be well-read on comics, which is completely understandable. But since comics are not very accessible for most people, it means a lot of casual fans use things like tumblr to understand these characters. If you’re purposely putting incorrect information out there just to have one character per type, then you’re misleading a lot of people. This wouldn’t be such a big deal if these posts weren’t in the main tags, but since they are in the main tags I feel like you’re opening yourself up to this type of criticism. 

I really don’t feel like the ESFP profile describes Dick at all, especially that line about not being good with committments. Dick and Kory dated for over a decade in real time, and Dick emphasized being faithful over and over. With Babs, Dick was the one who kept pushing for the relationship, and she was the one who initially kept resisting.

I feel that the ESTJ profile makes a lot of sense for Dick Grayson.

"ESTJs live in a world of facts and concrete needs. They live in the present, with their eye constantly scanning their personal environment to make sure that everything is running smoothly and systematically."

Yuuup. Pretty much Dick on every Titan title.

"They have such a clear vision of the way that things should be, that they naturally step into leadership roles."

(Teen Titans Vol 2 #12)

"The ESTJ is usually a model citizen, and pillar of the community."

Dick is considered the center and linchpin of DCU.

"ESTJ enjoys interacting with people, and likes to have fun. ESTJs can be very boisterous and fun at social events, especially activities which are focused on the family, community, or work."

Absolutely.

"If they neglect their Feeling side, they may have a problem with fulfilling other’s needs for intimacy, and may unknowingly hurt people’s feelings by applying logic and reason to situations which demand more emotional sensitivity."

Dick resorts to this type of thing all the time. He especially has a bad habit of lashing out when he’s upset.

(Birds of Prey #37)

(New Teen Titans Vol 2 #19)

"ESTJs value security and social order above all else, and feel obligated to do all that they can to enhance and promote these goals."

Yuuup.

"The ESTJ puts forth a lot of effort in almost everything that they do. They will do everything that they think should be done in their job, marriage, and community with a good amount of energy. He or she is conscientious, practical, realistic, and dependable."

So I mean, yes, I disagree with how you typed him, but it’s more that I think those posts run the risk of misleading people, especially since you’re admitting that you’re not approaching this in a serious way (at least that’s how I’m understanding it?). I just feel like things like this don’t belong in the tags if they’re intentionally incorrect;; as long as the OP provides back up or facts to support what they’re saying, I really can’t complain, but misinformation is one of those things that unnerves me

What’s the difference between white people and yogurt?

If you leave yogurt alone for 200 years it will develop it’s own cultures.

I think people forget that white people live in other places other than America.

Tumblr:

Me: The sky is blue.
Tumblr: First of all, trigger warning, you bitch. Blue was the color of the smurf doll I had that got ruined in the wash. Secondly, my brother's girlfriend's cousin's step-sister said the sky was indigo, and she would know, because she studies colors in college. COLLEGE. Also, way to oppress other fucking colors and completely erase light blue, dark blue, and blue-ish green! Educate yourself, you ignorant piece of shit trash! You think you know everything but you have no clue! Thanks to you I am triggered and about to kill myself! Hope you're happy you fuck!
