Anti-Pepper fics

May 02, 2015 04:08

I know that many people may not agree with me, but I was frankly appalled by how Pepper treated Tony in Iron Man 3. She responded to PTSD symptoms by attempting to guilt him into behaving better. She acted as though his previous, admittedly quite anti-social, behaviour which she had dealt with as his PA, not his girlfriend, somehow justified ( Read more... )

Maybe you could just ask for the fic instead of using this as a venue to be douchebag? Isn't there a "no character bashing" rule here? Jackass.

Dear agenderbitch

I apologise if my post offended you. I admit, I don't have enough friends in real life who are interested in talking about comics and comic book movies, so I may have used this space to air my opinions in a an inappropriate fashion. I guess I just wanted to explain my request, rather than simply asking for stories which bashed a character for no particular reason, and I tend to get carried away when I write. Or speak. I have a hard time shutting up.

To be honest, I suppose that my reason for looking for fic like this is not because the way the character acts is completely unconscionable; it's a very human reaction to the situation. Rather, I disliked that no one else seemed to view that reaction as being wrong, and I wanted to explain my point of view and in doing so, for the reasons stated above, may have gone overboard. As, in fact, I am probably doing now.

In any case, I am sorry if I injured you in some way by what I wrote.

Best wishes

The beauty of a fic-finding community, though, is that you can ask for any kind of fic you want and you don't need to justify your request. At all. Justifying a request for character-bashing fics almost never goes over well. If you want to read them, ask for recs and go for it, but leave the rationale out of it.

It's totally understandable where you're coming from, and its clear now that you gave the long "rant" (wasn't really" to explain your point of view so it didn't just come across as random character bashing. Also the way you said it wasn't overtly offensive or rude or anything, just sounded like you're not particularly fond of Pepper or rather how she treated Tony in IM3.
Super super nice response to agenderbitch though, serious points in my book for that.

Ok just because they said something you don't agree with doesn't mean that you can act like a d!ck. Ok? It's not alright!
