Mistakes, a cookie

Apr 21, 2008 17:14

Craning her neck to look at the clock on the bedside table behind Nicholas, she blinked a few times when she read that it was 7:45.

“Shit!” she cried out, accidentally elbowing Nicholas in the ribs.

He woke up immediately while Victor, who slept like the dead, rested on. “Geez, Nina,” Nicholas said, stretching. “That’s a hell of a way to wake ( Read more... )

I’d like to note that even on here amongst primarily female readers (and I would assume fairly liberal since they love gay porn), I have noticed that with this triad, the people dislike Nina before either male. This is, I must conclude, simply because she is female. She has no real dislikable characteristics. In fact, at least in the cookies, she has much more personality than Victor. Never mind that anime-wise she is one of the favorite minor characters, and most people would kill to see her happy. I guess kill to see her happy in any way but this ( ... )

Yeah. Some of it is there were a lot rooting for Nicholas and Victor together, I think, so Nina intruded. And heaven knows women can be the only people responsible for birth control *rolls eyes*
But I would be curious what would happen if someone intruded on Aideen and Fletcher, not that either of them swing the other way at all, but still...
Anywho, thanks for the support on this.

Always. It just seemed painful to me when I read Nina obviously dealing with the same issues you're dealing with as a writer.

Eh. It's kind of what this whole thing was written for, a sort of explanation.

"Pathetic"? Well that's bit harsh. I am one of those who has an issue with Nina and it has absolutely nothing at all to do with the fact that Nina is female. I would have had the same reaction to whomever it was who did what she did be they male, female, or any where in between. The problem with Nina is how she approached Nicholas and Victor and by her decision alone made the twosome a threesome. For me, an acceptable (I guess you'd call it that) threesome would be created when the couple decides they want to broaden their horizons and invites a third party in to consider and discuss the options. Done in reverse, like Nina did, throws up a big red flag for me. I would like to refer you to the cookie, "Propositions". This is where Nina invited herself into the men's relationship. When she did this, I was thinking, "What the hell does she think she's doing? Doesn't she know there's a right way and a wrong way to do this and this for damn sure ain't it?" Even Nicholas and Victor were skeptical and leery of her proposal so why should my ( ... )

First of all, had they not wanted her in their relationship they could have said no.

You'll also notice, that Victor was at first cautious, but then wouldn't choose to be without her.

Yes fans do accept irresponsible male figures, but not female, and that was my basic point.

I apologize for personally going after you. I was very angry at the time for another situation all together, and I was trying to make a point about male vs female acceptances. I have been seeing a lot of sexism and being attacked with it, both personally, professionally, and on the internet at various sites when I have not felt I deserved it.

This time I did. I apologize again.

Oh man! I know all about that getting attacked on the internet thing! :D I got royally chewed out not too long ago for an unflattering comment I made about Envy. whew! I was lucky to come away from that one with my head still attached! XDDD I don't feel like your comments were a personal attack on me per se. I see your point, that double standard Roy and Nina were talking about is definitely in play here, but I hope I managed to explain why people were downing Nina for no apparent reason ( ... )
