It's not a 1:1 comparison. They share similar character traits and could have a similar character arc, so the comparison in this regard is quite accurate.
Also, Harley was a murdering psychopath when she was with the Joker and helped him do all sorts of unspeakable things, so I think the actions of old, villain Harley far outweigh Quinn's petty crimes.
Seriously, why do you keep harping on about this? I know you got banned on their Steam for voicing some criticism, but feels like you're holding on a little too lightly to a silly grudge.
If DPC's writing was so bad, there would a lot more dicsussion about it, but there isn't. There's far more discussion about the story, plot threads, characters arcs, etc, precisely
because the writing is good. They might not always handle everything the right way, like the M&J situation in ep 4, but even the most experienced screenwriters and novelists can miss the mark occasionally.
Honestly, I feel like you need to let this go because the writing is not that bad. If it was, people wouldn't be so invested in this story and the characters, and the reason why they are is because it's a well-written story that has made people care so much.
Seriously, check the OP.
