@aleams brought up recently how a lot of comics are Sad Dad comics. Like, I don’t think it’s bad to work out your issues in your work, but I think you need to be aware you’re doing that. (Cishet) Men... are not usually this aware https://twitter.com/letsgoayo/status/1329402036891361285
It makes sense. Art and creation is gonna play on A LOT of stuff in us. It’s a really manageble way to heal bc it’s inherently on our terms. But you gotta be aware. Otherwise you subject others to the stuff you won’t work on. This happens a lot in comics
But can you start your Dad imprint and work out your issues there? I kinda wanna read comics again that aren’t informed by how cishet white dudes see the world
How Dan Slott did Franklin Richards likely reveals A LOT about him as a person
In psychodynamic theory, you can basically make the argument that you’re run more by unconscious processes than conscious, but until you’re aware of that and what they are, they are going to RUN you
