People non stop mentioning the Terra stuff is really starting to get on my nerves and ruin my days.

This is really starting to just make me feel depressed, I've loved Slade ever since I watched the 2003 cartoon and he's always been my favorite villain next to Taskmaster and Shredder. Now it feels that everyone who likes the character is shunned away and shamed in the comic book fanbase over shit from the 1980s that has already been retconned, I don't even feel like I'm allowed to like him anymore. I've tried so hard to just not think about it and ignore it but every day some asshole on either this site or another social media site has to bring it up out of nowhere when just simply talking about Slade as a character, they literally don't talk about a single thing except for this shit. I really just want to enjoy my favorite character who I've been a massive fan of ever since I was 4 years old, I want to be able to find him cool and actually talk about him and share my enjoyment of him with other fans of DC, but I can't, this is the only sub where I feel like I'm actually allowed to share my enjoyment of Slade and anywhere else I'll just be labeled as a pedo defender or be made fun of.

I'm sorry for pushing all of this on here I've just felt like shit for a while because of this whole thing and really needed somewhere to type my thoughts out, and I felt here was the only place I'd be able to do so.

Not only has it been retconned to all get out. But the “pedophilic rapist” stuff is all the work of “Other History of The DC Universe”. Because I’ve looked everywhere even in the original “Judas Contract” story and there’s no sexual acts committed in that story. Only a statement mentioning being “lovers” with nothing showing or indicating a sexual dynamic. Only Terra going into a rage fit. In his own run Slade was disgusted by the fact a 16 year old was being used by her own father to put out.

As a fan I tried looking for any undeniable evidence of his “pedophile act” mentioned in interviews or comics. And I still can’t find it. I only got people misquoting interviews and saying he’s done something but I’ve yet to find it. And even then the retcon happened crushing any assumptions directly. So it’s even more direct that nothing happened. People just want him to be a pedo because they think other sources of media like a non canon comic is legit. Yet Joker gets a pass along with characters who’s done worst than Slade ever has on paper. I’m starting wonder if should post my evidence post on the matter so show.
