101. I can't tell you the number of characters I was not that attracted to until one of my muses decided to hit that. You're not alone.
102. No, you are not the only person who is bothered by this scene, especially since it is really frickin' obvious that if they hadn't been interrupted, they would have gang-raped her.
135. I didn't nearly choke on my own vomit, but I sure bawled like a kid.
136. Preface: I don't know the fandom and I don't know the character. HOWEVER, I so don't get your logic or anyone else's who uses this line. SHE'S NOT REAL. SHE IS WHAT THE WRITERS MADE HER. EVERYTHING ELSE IS IN YOUR HEAD. There's nothing WRONG with loving aspects of a character that only exist in your head, but judging other people for not having the same perceptions as you is not so cool. If a character in a canon doesn't have any characterisation, or their characterisation has been destroyed by writers in a later book or season or series, WE ARE NOT OBLIGED TO LOVE FICTIONAL PEOPLE BASED ON THE "POTENTIAL" that only their specific fans still see. Even if they're female. Or black. I like many characters for reasons that are only apparent to someone with my personal background and issues and are not what the author ever intended. I also accept that other people who cannot read my mind do not feel obliged to like them for my reasons.
It makes me sad when people say they hate the characters I love (and it happens a lot actually), but they have an equal right to their own perceptions and opinions. Besides, you would rather see real people become the objects of hate and scorn than fictional ones? That's kind of messed up and a symptom of everything that's wrong with fandom--in particular the way people who are obsessed with fair treatment of fictional characters and feel free to say hateful things to and about the fans who don't like them. No matter how much you love a fictional character, the person on the other side of the screen is actually real and the way you treat them is more important than the way they treat your favourite character.
152. Compared to the "Terrible Demon Sam Hain" that was nothing, bb.
159. I also find it squicky, but I would have found it weirder if Felix hadn't NOTICED, you know?
160. I platonic-friend-ship Dean and Thelma and desperately want to see them hanging out talking smack about women.
