It makes so much sense that 90s comics would introduce a crazy/hot bisexual manic pixie that it’s easy to forget Harley Quinn’s original concept was “woman in an abusive relationship”

Something proudly backwards about how Harley Quinn evolved from “the ~cRaZy GiRl~? she’s being abused” to “the ~cRaZy GiRl~? she has BPD”

In the grimdark ‘90s Harley Quinn was developed as an exploration of the internal life of a woman in an abusive relationship

And in the “female representation” 2010s she’s been reimagined as a DD/lg roleplayer or a nonmonogamous bisexual pinup fantasy.

I think about that sometimes.
