You're going to pick Stephanie Brown to be down on? Stephanie Brown who made herself a hero despite where she comes from? Who asked Cass to help train her even though it meant getting beaten up over and over and over because Cass was astronomical amounts of better? Who dared to keep doing something she wasn't especially good at when she started out, when girls are taught they must be perfect right away or shouldn't bother trying?

Yes, she's a terrible role model. I have no idea why girls find her inspiring. And before you say anything--my favorite DC character is in my icon, but the three I love the most are Cass, Steph, and Babs, because they all overcame such shitloads of adversity in their very own way.
