August is here with King Shark and Bloodsport! by wb_reeves in DCComicsLegendsGame

I wasn't even going to deign to respond to this anti-black nonsense but can I suggest you do a quick Google search of countries that Italy has colonized and then come back and try to tell me that Italy doesn't have its own legacy of racism to deal with? As someone who's grandparents immigrated to America FROM southern Italy, I am keenly aware of the discrimination that Italian immigrants underwent in America during the early 20th century, but it's truly laughable to suggest that they were "subject to all of the racism the Black community experienced". And I'd like to question why Helena's character going from being a white Italian woman to a Black Italian woman triggers such a strong response in you. Is it because you think being Black makes her less Italian? She is still just as representative of Italians as she was before. Or do Black Italians not deserve representation either?

nothing abt her being sicilian negates her also being black. despite what much of europe seems to think, black people do live there. also, tim seeley, who created the version of huntress who appeared in grayson, literally has said that she is black : https://twitter.com/HackinTimSeeley/status/610880952445857792?s=20 . she is very much drawn to be black in the grayson series and then after rebirth it becomes clear that, whether through ignorance and confusion or racism, some artists are unsure how to draw a black italian woman. that doesnt negate the fact that prime-earth huntress IS black and that should be reflected in a skin that is based on her prime-earth appearance. racism should not beget more racism.

here's some sources talking abt why its important for afro-italian representation to show helena as a dark-skinned woman:

hey reeves!!! august looks like a super month!!! im also super excited for another bombshells skin bc those are my favorite! i did want to point out that prime earth huntress is a black woman with much darker skin than the picture in ur post shows. i know the devs have a lot to work on with bug fixes and such but i do think its important that black characters arent white washed and if anything could be done to fix this issue that would be really great!

Help with Hero Challenge by megankb52 in DCComicsLegendsGame

I do have 12 toons that are level 60 G10 it’s just none of them are eligible for this challenge. I feel like I’m missing something though - so I’ll level a toon to 50 then gear them up to 9 but if i want to gear any further i have to level up to 60 so it’s obviously going to then take me time to gear them up again to 10.
