Jun. 6th, 2005 07:51 pmI'm setting up my mom's laptop and connecting it to wireless network in our home, and I was staring at the google homepage. On a whim, I typed in Relena. Nothing else, just Relena.
=)
Certainly, there are many anti-Relena sites, but I was surprised by how many sites there were supporting her too. It made me smile. And I bumped into a very dedicated site in finding various ways to torture Relena. One of the things I always found odd about the fans so focused on hating her was this: in focusing so much on her, they literally gave more of the spotlight to her than their precious pilots. That never made much sense to me. In creating sites devoted to exaggerating her negative attributes, it made newcomes all the more receptive to the big question mark when they eventually watched the series. Because, yeah, there were some WTF moments for Relena, but nowhere like what anti-Relena fans were writing about, which makes them slightly ludicrous when viewed from a neutral point of view.
Hm. It's been a while since I've written anything on Relena... this 'whim' spawned a few plotbunnies.
