Re: 184

[kurozukin-a.livejournal.com]

As I said earlier, most of what we get from Nina are scenes of her being hateful or obsessive--sometimes both. I think this latest scene with her in episode 19 was a step in the right direction, but you have to remember that for a vast majority of the series the only scene she came across in as genuinely sympathetic was back in the very beginning of the first season when the terrorists had her in tears of fear.
I didn't want to read your comment until just now because I hadn't watched ep. 19 yet. :/ Anyway, I thought Nina came across as pretty sympathetic in the scene where she was mourning Shirley and in a few other scenes as well. I don't feel it's accurate to say that we never see anything of her but hatefulness and creepiness. And again, prior to R2 ep... 13 or 14, pretty much all we ever saw of Orange was vengeful obsessiveness, and yet he wasn't bashed to such a degree.

Whether you think that is fair is something you'd have to take up with the writers, not the fans.
I have quite a few things I'd love to take up with the writers, but I don't think I'm wrong to complain about the fans if I feel they are judging the characters based on unfair double standards.

So, in this case, I think accusing people of being homophobic and misogynistic is utterly uncalled for.
I never accused anybody of anything. I only said I can't help but wonder if Nina would be hated as much if she were a boy. Unlike the secret poster, I definitely wouldn't label the Geass fandom as a whole as being misogynistic or homophobic (no more than any other anime fandom). But I've certainly considered the idea that ingrained sexist attitudes may be a factor in the massive amounts of Nina hate.

It's not like I love Nina or I think everyone should like her or nobody should hate her. It's just that character-bashing in general really annoys me, and in Nina's case it seems unusually excessive.
