It's such a strong word, really

Dear certain members of the KH fandom, I understand that there are some mean fans out there who bash characters for no good reason, or who do have good reason, but are unnecessarily mean about it, but can I say this, to you.

Not everyone who DISLIKES a character is a hater, or HATES that character.  I know you may not mean too, but I've read one too

I'm hoping this isn't a response to me (I don't *think* it is, but still...) I said in my post you ARE allowed to dislike characters for reasons of your own (I may not agree with it, but I did say that I'm fine with someone not liking Kairi or Xion for lack of character development.) I was ranting about real, blatant hate, and how the hater won't let up on it.

But I do agree with much of what you're saying here. If you told me you don't like Xion, then I'd be willing to hear you out before making judgement. So long as you're rational about it, and don't do things like spreading hate clubs, hate fic, and relentless bashing (like you-know-who), then I'll acccept it.

It wasn't really you, it was at a lot of rants recently. I understand, Xion, Kairi, Sora -bashing, it all sucks, but it gets to a point where white knighting goes too far, where you look for hate where there is none because you've been unfortunate enough to be exposed mostly to the extreme haters out there, and that doesn't do anybody any good

this. oh god, this. i'm not running around with a "I HATE XARMY" t-shirt on or anything. i just don't like xion. if i'm asked to justify that one more time, i will kick somebody!

(don'tcha ha...DISLIKE the English language and its failure to make a different word for second person plural? XD)

"So, you found someone who has some pretty shitty things to say about a certain character and you need to vent, that's fine, but there's a line here between calling a person out on being a hate-monger and explaining and arguing against their opinion every step of the way for what has to be the umpteenth time on this comm, argue against each little facet of their opinion to the point of redundancy,to point out each fallacy no matter how obvious, the need to undercut their beliefs and tastes, and not just the entirely rude way they express them

"Um, yeah, there was a reason for that: this person DID explain her "reasoning", and that "reasoning" was shit. When something's so blatantly contradictory to canon, then I don't feel like I should hold back on my thoughts and arguments
