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

As individual Fandom Haters are not accurate representatives of the Dislikers as a whole, well, neither are you. Some non-hating-yet-still-strongly-disliking fanfolk do pick apart why a character is liked, or ask the likers to "clarify why they're so fond of a such a blatantly terrible/boring/insert-your-adjective-here character". Or go "I know others like her, but she's such a Mary Sue, I don't get it, can someone explain it to me?"
Just because you aren't doing something doesn't mean we aren't allowed to call out the people who are doing something ( ... )

Thank you! My thoughts exactly.

Assumptions do make things quite irritating, totes agreement there. Especially since I like analysis, and assumptions get in the way of them. Approval for reasoning is pretty ludicrous too, I must concur, especially since a lot of it boils down to a combination of Interpretation of Canon, and "your milage may vary".
There is a way to be in communities without seeing them on your friends page. Clears up clogging wonderfully.

No need to apologize, though thank you. I think I was mainly replying to your Bonus Rant rather than the main one (with which I agree).

Except that I DID mention (in my rant at least) that not every angle for disliking Kairi was bad. From the rant:
"Now I'm fine with someone disliking Kairi, but not if the reasons are irrational."
AND
"Some opinions she has are all right, though I don't personally agree with them."
Reasons like the ones you have for disliking Xion are fine with me. I may not agree, but I'll defend to the death your right to them. But when someone hates a character for reasons that are 100% canonly false (Kairi/Namine/Xion are bitches and EVIL!), yeah, THAT'S when I'm going to call the haters out. If this offends you, then (no offense), tough.
