Because I am.
Each day there's more and more evidence that she'll in someway break things off with Joker in Suicide Squad; she's even got a solo film in the works, and while she could still be in a relationship with Joker in that one--as being in a relationship with a man doesn't suddenly render a character less interesting--it does seem unlikely for that to be the case, going by all the evidence that's been presented in the trailers and set photos. Now, I hated when they estranged the couple in the comics and, call me foolish, but ever since the movie was announced, I was holding out hope that the great and the good would opt for a more loyal representation of the character for her first live-action appearance; one that recognized the original concept and all the facets that went along with it instead of just adhering to the most modernized version possible.
Why?
Because I truthfully find the act of having Harley Quinn permanently isolated from her abuser to be completely irrational and gratuitously feminist for a character that's never about being an independent woman. Because I can't comprehend all of the female empowerment propaganda being foisted onto a character who's supposed to be a mass-murdering psychopath. How does one woman's actions stand for all of womankind? How does representing misogyny and domestic abuse suddenly equate with condoning such horrible things? How can it be perfectly fine for a character to grow so much that he or she eventually outgrows him- or herself? See, I'm fine with Quinn having her own adventures and making friends and building a supporting cast and all that, but she completely loses her allure (and her hamartia, if you think about it) when she's not Joker's Robin. And there's another question: Why is it totally okay for Robin to be both a sidekick to Batman and also a fully realized person in his own right? That almost seems, hmm, what's the word? Oh right. Sexist.
I'm not alone.... right? (Braces for impact)
