So I had this entire grumpy post, and now I do not.

This is why.

thefourthvine sees girls lining up to watch the three AM premiere of the movie Eclipse.

Oh, and girls? Please don't laugh along with people you think are laughing at you. Nothing you're doing is stupid or embarrassing. You care about something. You love something. It's important to you, and that makes it valuable. If people think that's funny? Please, please: just tell them to go fuck themselves.

I wish this could be handed out on embossed cards. And not just to teenage girls.

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.
