what if the fact that she's driven as hell, loyal, hardworking, and fucking ruthless is all more important to why I like her than the fact that she's smart?

[(Anonymous)]

What OP was pointing out though is that fans tend to forget that ruthlessness in presenting her as a perfect character. Hermione is great and it's that ruthlessness (and sometimes vindictiveness) is what made me love her, but she's not a perfect goddess. In general some fans seem to prefer cardboard cutouts of 'strong female characters' with no nuance whatsoever.

if characters worshipping her are erasing/ignoring her ruthlessness, though, it seems to me that while they may be guilt of bad characterization, they're doing the opposite of undervaluing kindness. They value it so much that they feel the need to magnify it it in an already great character in order to feel okay about loving her!

it's kind of shitty for other reasons - like demanding girls conform to standards of mildness and nurturing before they can be worthy of adoration and attention - but it's not ~caring more about being smart than kind~.
