Yeah, "damsel in distress" is not really the right term. Rather the whole shtick of (brutally) harming women in order for the stakes to be raised for the male protagonists is just... a bit icky.
Yeah, I'm not going to disagree with you about how she became Oracle being highly problematic. But that, to me, is an entirely separate conversation from whether Oracle herself is good disabled representation, which is what I thought this conversation was about.
Yeah, I still think that the whole notion of mentally ill criminals reeks of the worldview of which Batman was born. But I don't think that the inclusion of disabled characters is just a token effort of the comics by now.
