a rant... of sorts

[demeter918]

If I want to like a female character, that's my fucking right. If I want to see her with one-half of a popular slash couple, well, that's my right too. Sure, I don't see Cid/Vincent too much. You do, and you know what? That's great! You like Cid and Vincent! I like them too, but I like my Yuffie/Vincent better. Am I being homophobic?

FUCK NO.

Are you being a twit?

WHY, YES.

I like Relena, Akito, Rikku, Yuffie, Aeris, Tifa, Sakura, Ino, Rinoa, Eiko, why, I like most female characters! In fact, I prefer female characters to male characters most of the time! That's called a preference. Y'know, the lovely thing that makes you like slash pairings more? There are some slash pairings I adore; Snape/Remus being one of them! Do I like Snape/Hermione? Not really. Do I like Snape/Draco? YES! Do I think I have to like Snape/Remus?

NO.

Do I think you have to like Snape/Remus?

NO.

Do I like Cloud/Tifa? Yes. Do I think Cloud/Aeris is evil? NO. Cloud/Aeris is beautiful and painful and wonderful. I just like Cloud/Tifa better. And you know what? It doesn't matter most of the time because I'm concentrating on Yuffie! Cloud could sleep with a leech for all I care!

I don't call Sephiroth a maniacal murderer, so don't call Yuffie an immature snot.

I don't think Tohru is a brainless idiot, so leave Akito alone from your deranged anti-Akito feelings.

Iruka/Kakashi ain't my cup of tea, but if they're yours, well, more power. Kakashi/Sakura is my cup of tea, so kindly leave Sakura alone.

Notice the trend? NOTICE THE FUCKING TREND WHERE ONLY THE GIRLS ARE BEING DEBASED AND RIDICULED AND FUCKING HATED ON WHILE THE MEN GO SKIPPING ALONG THE WAY?

*goes to drown self in work*

=) Whoo, that felt good.

Reminds me of the GW fandom. Relena was labeled a crazy psycho bitch because OMG Heero LIKED her! While Zechs, who TRIED TO BLOW UP THE WORLD is teh sex. Wtf, people?

The girls are never safe. T_T If a girl is strong, people hate her, if a girl is a sissy, people hate her.. Ironically, it's mostly the girls who hate them, too.

This makes me think of what's happening in the Lost fandom. New strong female that threatens the slash OTP and one of the het OTPs, and everyone hates on her with a passion. Not the guy who seems most likely to be paired with her, but her. I like her!

Preach on sister. I'm with you, I'm a big fan of female characters in general so I understand your frustration. It's not cool to bash a character and it's really not cool to bash a character because they "OMG threaten your OTP".

*sympathizes*

But she's the girl you love to hate, at worst, surely! =_=;; I mean... she's just so darn cute and awesome and has yellow shoes, hello.

*cuddles* Fans suck. Unfortunately, not a lot of them respect things they don't like and they go out of their way to tell other people they shouldn't like them. It's incredibly stupid but that's the way it's always going to be.

^_^ I'm so glad we have people like you to rant coherently on our behalf. <3 Love you, 'Meter.

Because girls get in the way of a delusion romance a fangirl makes.

Being a fan of Fllay, Relena, Tifa, Orihime, Sakura... it sucks. -___-

I have seen male characters hated with a passion too, such as Amiboshi (Fughigi Yuugi) and Allen (Escaflowne)for example (two that I adore). I actually dislike some male and female characters too. But I don't talk trash about them cause I don't want to spoil peoples fun and that is what it is all about, people getting so self centered that they can't let people enjoy their OTP in peace or some character.

It is a preference, as you say, to like some better then others and really that is what makes people individuals.

There is a very good rason why fans are called fans. Please remember that it's short for fanatics, which is kind of a scary word.

Yeah..

I like Relena, I HATE Duo-Hiiro combos, I'm NOT a fan of yaoi which pisses a LOT of people off, and I like mostly female characters and have my usual droolfest over the males.

I just don't talk to people about my fandoms anymore >D

...

And I think Kefka is hot. Which scares a lot of people.
