Omg, this some serious meta. lmao

Anyways, I can kind of see your point of view in all honesty. If your characterization of the Joker ever makes me uncomfortable at times, I'll let you know (I'm actually a victim of neglect/abuse, and I guess that kind've explains itself). It's true that without him there wouldn't be a Harley Quinn. Despite this, I still don't find their romatic relationship appealing. But, like you said, to each their own!

I actually kind of like Harley/Ivy. My main problem with it is that sometimes people like to say it's abusive but then turn around and still ship Harley/Joker. Do you understand what I'm saying here? I'm always willing to acknowledge any of my ships flaw(s), like Harley/Ivy (Harlivy), Harley/Deadshot (Quinnshot), and Batman/Catwoman (Batcat; which is my main ship at the moment). Even if it takes me awhile to accept the flaw(s): at the end of the day I'll eventually accept it/them.

I think Harley is just a people-person that can have a really big heart sometimes. Granted that it's been awhile since I've dived back into the DC Fandom again and looked at the material. I know my response is a bit if not a lot shorter than yours, but yeah. Thanks for reading this too. (:

P.S. I think that the Harley/Joker is good in terms of representation for those that have been in abusive relationships. But sometimes it goes way over-the-top, it feels like, to me. And it actually does encourage those relationships, even if the people don't realize the abusive aspects of it. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say "Aww! I wish a had a relationship like the Joker and Harley!" Which, honestly, is a bit disheartening.
