Dear WoW fans:

Aggra is a complete zero.  She's a shallow love interest whose only characterization beyond the physical is "invalidating tsundere," and whose only concrete purpose in the story seems to be getting pregnant.  This makes her a pulsating wad of unfortunate implications on several levels.  I've read fanfics by people who don't even like the character1 that make her both deeper and a hell of a lot more sympathetic than she canonically is.

And getting butthurt at me for daring to think that this is a bad thing?  Jumping to conclusions in regards to my motives for disliking the character (i.e. either that I want every story to be a romance, or that I dislike her for not being a certain blond human mage whom I'm actually more likely to 'ship with her studies)?  Not helping your case at all.

1. Thus proving that there's a difference between liking a character and believing that she's potentially redeemable.  Personally, I think they're going to kill her off as soon as they need to hurt Thrall by proxy.
