The article seems to think that a young woman shouldn't be portrayed as going after an older, powerful, confident male when, as far as anthropology is concerned, this is fairly common behavior. Case in point: all of Trump's wives, Monica Lewinsky or any of these: http://m.ranker.com/list/famous-women-who-married-older-men/celebrity-lists?var=13&utm_expid=16418821-229.FLH4oJT1R8meAGH-jDdxAQ.12

Does it change the story of Batgirl and Batman? Quite possibly. But what I find really interesting is no one talks about what happens to Barbara Gordon in The Killing Joke. Not only is she shot and crippled, but it's alluded to that she's raped by the the Joker. Will that be in this cartoon movie? Or did the WB just decide to gloss over that part?

The Killing Joke was a particularly dark time for Batman and cemented the Joker as one of the most sadistic villainous characters in comic books for all time.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
