Orihime is a punching bag for people once again.

( Coming to her defense under the cut. )

sexist bullshit, misogyny, crying "how dare she like my bishie", crying "acting your age = immature!", crying "not badass = useless", crying "not badass enough", crying "in love = stalker!", bleach, crying "it's all your fault only!", crying "selfish!", crying "sensitive = weak", character a vs. character b, rant, crying "devoted = weak", crying "female = whore/slut/skank/tramp", die for our ship, bashed characters

"Any female who thinks it is all about Orihime, and views real relationships like that will end up a lonely spinster."

Oh, the irony. I love it so much. *cuddles irony*

To be serious, this is just crap invented by fans of competing pairings. They're mad Orihime is *still* interfering with their chosen ship, so they say this crap. Nothing more to it.

Jeebers, I almost feel like getting into Bleach and shipping Ichigo/Orihime just to spite these haters. She's always seemed like a very nice and sweet girl to me, from what little I know about the fandom.

"And I’m just SO VERY PROUD to be this useless and to need others to fight her battles.

Wow, whoever wrote this should never read One Piece, where the main character isn't shy at all about revealing how much he depends on other people - and the story doesn't show this as a bad thing at all. (In fact, that's a large part of why I like the character so much.)

There are just no words. I bet if Orihime didn't have her crush on Ichigo none of this BS in bold would be used in the first place. LOL useless, if she was useless how come Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Tatsuki, Ishida etc. are still live and breathing, stalker where the heck is this coming from, weak yeah, not wanting to punch people in the face makes you weak. It's just sad to see people using such plain stupid arguments when canon tells a different story.

I've been having a lot of trouble posting this, so I hope three of them don't pop up.

Has "stalking" become code for "having any kind of social interaction at all?" Are female characters expected to cloister themselves to avoid accidentally brushing up against YOUR BISHIE!!! in an elevator, thus becoming "obsessive stalkers?" Because aside from the time Orihime (and Chad) followed Ichigo to find out if he knew why Rukia wasn't coming to class, she hasn't done anything to him that platonic classmates wouldn't do if they met on the street outside of school; make small talk, ask if he wants to watch a TV show filming or a fireworks display (with a group of common friends, not just her), ask about him if he's not well. It isn't a crime for her to have a crush on him, but the crush is irrelevant, since in spite of it she treats him no differently than she treats her other friends. She certainly doesn't "stalk" him ( ... )
