When Nightwing was R*PED...Twice!

#shorts #short #nightwing #batman

These are two of the darkest moments for Nightwing in DC continuity and they often go undiscussed. If you or a loved one are going through something similar, there are resources to help.

Honestly these comics should be a wake up call about how men can also be sexually assaulted by female predetors.

Ah yes he gets tricked into sleeping with someone he thought was starfire and then it's somehow his fault and gets blamed by everyone including star. Bloody brilliant.

I don't know why, but the words "Don't touch me, " feel *so* much more "real" than just something as simple as "No, don't, " or "Stop."

Why is it always the nicest characters that get violated the most. I'm starting to think the writers have a fetish for this kinda stuff

[WinterRabbit]

I was aware of Tarantula assaulting him, but I didn’t know this had happened before with Mirage. That’s fucked up. And they never really address it after Dick had a full on breakdown after Tarantula.🤬

Nightwing 🤝 Invincible
Graysons who got r**ed.

Nightwing, the male character who gets the heroine treatment. Over sexualized covers, characters degrading him to be a sex object, "buttwing", and SA top it off with writer fetish.

Male SA is so highly under reported, especially done by the opposite gender. Bat family in particular is very much used. Thalia with Bruce and Jason, Dick too many to count, Tim with Thalia half sister. Comes out as a "joke". Like lol men getting SA lol
The toxic male culture of bottling up your feelings, plus heteronormative narrative many men irl dont come forward. Being told "noice" if its a female predator. South Park covered this with Ike and his teacher, no one took it seriously. Just thinking this preschooler had game to be with a teacher, not the female teacher was a creep.
I, plus male friends of mine who've been assaulted. Have been slut shamed, called dogs/players, nothing done. I had a former boss assault me on a business trip, she made everyone think i was unhindged and crazy. And making me seem like the villain for "accusing" her. So when i came out, no one believed me until months later. When i left and it happened to 3 other men.

The Robins can't catch a
Break.. they like a bunch of Peter Parkers

Male sexual assault is severally overlooked. A lot of people think guys can't be sexually assaulted by women just because they are males. I've heard comments like, "He probably wanted it anyway." Do you know how messed up that is? Guys have a right to their bodies, too. They have the right to say no. Not to mention male on male sexual assault which is also wrong.

Comic writers like infusing their Unwanted fetishes into stories, like bro didn't deserve none of this

[nexusgiga]

Bat girl gets shot and everyone still talks about it saying joker raped her. We get two on screen rapes of nightwing and it’s “eh”

[mr.sand]

The worst part about the tarantula one was it took years for the author to admit it was SA.

[The_Bod_atomica]

W dc for showing it's not always women who are rape victim

[otroweonllamadoseba]

Writers have a problem with making Nightwing get sexually assault multiple times.

[ThomasBoyce]

Before I read the comments, I already know some degenerates are gonna have something stupid to say like "men can't be rhayped" or "he's lucky" or something smh

[LutherMahoney]

I was sexually assaulted twice by my mother's friend and I didn't tell my mother until year's later and she didn't believe me. She never forgave me for telling her that. She went to the grave with that denial and our relationship with her was never the same. Women do NOT believe a man can be raped.

[KingDami]

Dick will always be my favorite character in DC. He’s authentic, down to earth, relatable, and honest. Those sexual assaults on him were beyond disgusting. Leave my GOAT alone!

[starrsmith]

Mirage and Taranula making me contemplate breaking Bruce’s no kill rule…..

[stereokuuji]

Mirage pulled a "it was me, Barry" on Nightwing 😭

[brokenbiscuit]

My favorite part is that after all this happens to Dick, he's still the positive older brother of the family. Truly an inspiration to us all.
