Yeah, and in the mean time, a psychotic fuck ran the SWAT team on the police force who could basically deploy bombs to get rid of one man and actively destroyed Gotham's park, going by what I remember of Year One, and the Police Commissioner himself was a corrupt bastard on Falcone's payroll whilst children were being prostituted in the streets. It's a rose-tinted strawman argument if there ever was one.
And the idea that Batman lures these people in to Gotham is such nonsense; Going by Batman Begins, Falcone eventually ended up being on Ra's payroll. Going by another example - the awesome 'Trial' episode of BTAS, nearly every single one of Batman's foes has nothing involving Batman in their origin, and are not actively interested in involving Batman in their plots. These villains target the people of Gotham because they're sick fucks, not because Batman's there.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
