Re: Characters who get a disproportionate amount of sympathy or woobiefication

[(Anonymous)]

Eridan. He's whiny and needy and has a nice character design, so people identify with him.
People like to forget that he killed the one person and ex-girlfriend who put up with him and wanted to rat out everyone he knew to the bad guy, who would have killed them all.

I hate how people woobify the entitled, privileged asshole. His fans love to give him "woobie points" of other characters in fic, like mutant blood, being enslaved, threatened and sexualized by their society.

And personally it irks me how people ship him with his ex-girlfriend and my fav to coddle him and forgive his "neediness". Which is the only flaw that he gets to keep in most fics. At the same time the characters get villified for turning him down in canon.
It reminds me of my diva bully who wanted me to be grateful when they didn't treat me like shit once in a while. When I kept my grudge I was the bad one. Like they were entitled to "forgiveness", without changing their actual asshole behaviour.

Yeah I think Eridan is the one character in Homestuck where I just straight-up do not understand why anyone likes him

there are other characters I like less but at least I can understand people who dig them, Eridan just does not make sense

yeah... the only angle I can now see (that I notice with other characters as well) is that they identify with his neediness/lonliness.

But that gets covered by so many other characters as well, especially Karkat. And those mostly have better reasons.
