Has anyone put together a list of (often stupid) reasons why people hate your fave characters? Here's one I put together for Steelbeak, from Disney's Darkwing Duck
( Read more... )
People say they hate Oikawa because 'he's a child molester'. He kidnapped Ken. That's it. It's implied that the other children came willingly. And aside from putting the Dark Spores in their necks, he never touched them.
A slut? She's a glutton, and not the brightest bulb on the block, but a slut? People must really despise her if they're willing to attach totally out-of-character traits to her, rather than just exagerating her already present faults.
Remember that she's called slut because everyone is supposed to be in love with her, and because at times Miaka has tried to seduce guys - but as contingence plan to avoid her friends getting hurt. Just remember her and Eiken - she DID try to be nice and even seduce him a little, but it was to get info about Tasuki AND make sure Hotohori and Nuriko didn't get mistreated. I don't see that as sluttiness, but as a virgin sacrifice - and pretty brave.
"Kenji from Pokemon: He's "fat" and replaced Takeshi (nevermind that Takeshi returned one season later and Kenji was relegated to background character status)."
Amen, kid. Point 1: Kenji/Tracey is *not* fat. Watch the episode where Our Heroes are staying in a hotel where the gym battle will take place. They're at the hot tub and Tracey is built pretty much like any anime boy of that age.
And yeah, I don't know why people are still bitching about Tracey when Brock's already replaced him. Do a few scattered cameos offend their delicate constitutions? :>
Tracey's pretty well ripped for a kid of slight build. Especially when he's been working at Oak's lab for a while. (*has screenshots of some HoSo specials*)
You know what's sad? Even the *writers* hated Tracey. I think it was fairly obvious. They never bothered to give him any semblance of a backstory, and in movie 2, he did *nothing*. Absolutely nothing.
"Cho Chang is a slut/whore!" Why, because she went out with three guys in the timespan of two years? Because she kissed Harry instead of waiting for him to kiss her first? Right, how slutty it is to kiss someone! -.-;;
I'm not a big fan of Cho Chang - I find her shallow, whiny and annoying, but I am with you on the "slut/whore" thing. It seems that some people just like to insult female characters they don't like by saying "slut" or "whore." I'm sure someone has called Chaucer's Prioresse Eglantyne a "slut" by now.
Let's see - Cho dated Cedric pretty seriously for at least a year, then had ONE date and ONE kiss with Harry (hardly a "relationship" even!) and when we last saw her was dating Michael Corner. That's two boyfriends, and one very brief relationship. Hardly "slut" material.
If anyone's the Hogwarts 'Ho it's Roger Davies - all he does is snog various blondes.
