113 OP

Man, this should teach me to spend more than a minute on my secrets so I don't have to go around explaining myself to everyone -- I know I came off as saying "I DON'T LIKE HIM SO NO ONE SHOULD LIKE HIM AND ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME IS SEXIST!!!" but what I meant was more "I feel like the only person who is bothered enough by this character trait to dislike him and I find that frustrating." I mean, it's always a little frustrating, I think, to feel differently about a character than the majority of the fandom does, and I felt like I couldn't explain why I disliked him without being accused of being oversensitive and taking things too seriously (which, thankfully, has not actually happened).

I can understand liking a character who is flawed or has opinions with which you disagree -- I mean, it's not that the characters I like are all paragons of virtue, it's just that they don't hit the particular buttons that put me off of a character. I know it's a very subjective thing.

TL;DR I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY?
