I know I've writtten and posted a rant about this very subject, the trivialization of the term "Nazi" in English, and now I can't find it again. Did anyone by any chance preserve it in their memories? Anyway: this post reminds me just how much I'm irked by it again. So do several of the comments. On the other hand, you learn something new every

Even Frank Miller had a female Robin in The Dark Knight Returns, but yeah, probably not with El Nolan.

As for the rest of this entry, IAWTC.

Yes, but I did not want to invoke Miller, given his attitude about... more lor less everything?

[linaerys]

Well, that's why it's an EVEN Frank Miller situation. Because dude writes some nutty, sexist, racist shit. Although I recall liking his female Robin, because of how not sexualized she was.

Oh, I was fine with Carrie, too. And how sadly rare it was she had a sensible costume that wasn't different from a male Robin's costume. As opposed to, well, standard for most female characters.

I would cosplay that costume :).
