She's hot? Intriguing? Funny? Different? Weird? Shes far from plain or boring. She has a emotional backstory which can be relatable to some people. Her relationship with the joker is unfortunately something I could sadly relate to. Shes batshit crazy but she makes for an interesting character when you read into her. I think theres heaps of people who do cosplay her because of the whole popularity thing, cosplay trends, shes well known and shes attractive. I have met some women who actually idolize 'romance' in her relationship with the joker and fantasize over which is kinda disturbing.

Sluts dress like her because of the way men see the character and because shes got cute outfits in the video games and the recent movie. Men idolize her because shes a hot chick completely in love with one guy. She's after only him and will literally kill for the joker. Guys only really like her because shes hot monogamous and crazy but wouldn't do anything to harm or displease her man while she is also happy to take any abuse her love throws at her. Mistreat, abuse, and leave for long periods of time? Shes still in love with you? You can literally do no wrong? Perfect girl in a lot of guys opinions.

>> No.9650617

the saddest thing is, she's crazy over the Joker but she really isn't monogamous. They don't acknowledge it in the films and are too subtle in most games, but she totally has a thing with ivy

>> No.9650628

>>9650617
A thing with another girl isn't seen as a bad thing with most straight guys tho. Its just the generic "ooh three some when?" Idea. She's all over the joker and wont leave him no matter what. I see her character as a generic trope for men to like because they want to be lusted after by a girl that doesn't see anything wrong with them and they dont have to put any effort into a relationship for the girl to stick with them. No matter how badly they treat the girl shes always gonna be there for him.

What's not to like as a thot?

That said, the real answer is that the head of marketing for Warner Bros decided they could promote the shit out of her and get people to see the movie. They could make girls buy the merch and act as free advertising if they could push it into the forefront as The Halloweeen Costume This Year. Women will do basically anything advertisers tell them to.

Im describing what i see shitty NEET dudes and sluts like about the character not what regular girls think about her. Im actually also a harley fan but i can recognize that different people like her for different reasons. I can also see that regular female fans at least acknowledge the negative dependant relationship between her and the joker and dont romanticize it because they actually read the comic books play the games and have a well rounded idea of the character and don't just see bullshit like

It's almost literally the official Thot uniform. Was a comicon yesterday and was joking with my friend that there would probably be more dumbass Rick n morty cosplays than Thottie Harley coaplays. Nope. Way off.

The worst part was all the little girls, like children under 12 wearing the suicide squad Harley costume, fishnets and all. I saw this one family while I was talking to a Geralt and Yennefer, faggot hipster dad with a tattoo sleeve and his daughter who could not have been older than 8 or 9. The fishnets, shirt drooping off one shoulder. I hate people

- There's lots of exposed skin, so it's easy to make it sexy/attention grabbing.
- Doesn't require a deep knowledge of the source material. She's "from Batman" and "is Joker's girlfriend," which is enough for them.
- Most of the costume can be purchased at a Goodwill, so it's a low effort investment costume.

tl;dr --> sexy/attention getting, low mental investment, low time/effort investment

female /co/fag here and for me she's a tragic character who sets a bad example by revolving her entire existence around her abuser. Like most Batman villains, she's partially a victim of circumstance, but what she does after that is entirely her fault. (As opposed to what Batman does, come to think of it.)

Shit, Catwoman has more going for her.

Then again, people latching on to characters is why I don't read too much of the Big Two...

The comic books and the Batman the Animated Series TV show, where Harley was introduced. In the show she leaves Joker but always comes back, even though he is probably the most abusive to her on there. It isn't romanticised at all.

In some comic derivations, she leaves him for good, but admittedly in the main universe that's not the case.

>>9673468
Yeah, usually he doesn't give a shit. Nonetheless, I do think he finds her interesting and rather useful or he wouldn't have bothered in the first place.

I honestly like Harley as a classic character that adds a fun dynamic to a cartoon about dudes in funny costumes tossing batarangs and nitrous bombs.

True but depending on the context she really doesnt like it. In BTAS she imagines that he's perfect and darling and leaves him briefly when he is super mean, but she comes back because of his percieved greatness, not because he fucks her up. It is an important part of their dynamic though.
