It was incredibly obvious and yet people were still arguing about it. Absolutely ridiculous. I couldn’t go anywhere without someone mentioning it.

Harley/Joker is a very popular pairing so it's natural for fanatics to come and try to put you down. I am so with you on the Joker/Harley, Joker/OC wish fullfillment fantasy. Mind you, I also have my preferences but that doesn't mean I can't take off my beer goggles! :) I talked to come Joker/Harley fans who although they love the pairing, they were open, honest and candid and pretty much said what you already said, that Harley is actually a wish fullfillment of themeselves. It's beauty and the beast syndrome. Proof of this is when you criticize Harley. God forbid you call her a misogynist concept. I personally don't agree with that notion but I can see where they got that idea. I have had personal experience (the links I could show you!) with this and man, they will grill you for seeing Joker and Harley's relationship for what it is (an abusive one where he kicks her ass because HE CAN) than their own personal idealized fetish of romance (he hits her because it's his own insecure way of communicating with her). You are so right about Harley Quinn leaving him. Paul Dini himself has demonstarted that he would like her to spread her wings outside of Joker and Ivy's influence. The last two years and the upcoming Gotham City Sirens series is proof of this. Joker/Harley is nothing but a personal fetish that some people have. There is nothing there to understand. It's harmless on its own right but like you said, when it becomes an imposed 'standard', um, yeah, no, that's not gonna fly and even as a fan of Joker and Harley Quinn, I get tired of listening to that ****. Anywho, I just wanted to share my two cents. I do realize that this is an old blog but I just wanted to let you know: WORD! First off, I appreciate you for standing up to your beliefs.

I'm just expressing a view on how I like my Joker, and how the Joker should be with regards to his different representations throughout the years. They've always been relatively constant in the ways that I put forward and I just wanted to make a point. I expected some backlash from readers, but I never expected it to go as far as it has. I just failed (and still do) to understand what the attraction is. Although, it's not the attraction I have the problem with, it's the fact that so many of them want a loving, sweet Joker when it's not going to happen. If they're so attracted to him how he is, why not leave him as he is? Harley Quinn does, after all. Now, see, that’s where I disagree with you again.
