Re: 37 - I will limit myself to this.

ERGH this is getting frustrating. How many times to I have to say this?

ALL THE CHARACTERS TO NOT FIT THE NADESHIKO TYPE TO A T. They are similar characters that all conform to an RPG CLICHE that is ROOTED in the type.

And if anyone says that these characters aren't similar in any way beyond being healer love-interests I'm going to be really, really annoyed.

You want to know an argument that I'm sick of hearing? 'Healer Girl X is shows that a woman can be traditionally feminine and still kick butt too!' Yes, there is nothing wrong with being traditionally feminine, and a traditionally feminine woman can be strong too. But you know what? I'M SICK OF IT. These women become boring after the 46579863th time.

I don't have anything against any of these characters INDIVIDUALLY. I'm saying they're a type, and a type that I'm really sick of seeing.

...I also apparently fail at HTML. Sigh.

This you could have (and probably should have) included in your secret. Ambiguity isn't the best route to take when writing these up.

Not knocking you for it, just saying, for future reference, etc.

Yeah, you're probably right on that one. I've replied to about twenty people so far telling me that I'm what's wrong with fandom. Oh, yay.

...But they're not even rooted in the Nadeshiko. They're actually pretty firmly over in the Perky Schoolgirl category, most of them. Naive, innocent, stubborn little critters who never feel down (or at least hide it behind unrelenting perkiness) and always try their hardest. All they're actually missing is the uniform.

*cough* The issue is that you described them as Nadeshiko, and the major defining point of Nadeshiko -is- their passiveness. None of the characters you used are passive. Of cours people are going to disagree with you.
