But he's a cute white boy, uwu

[(Anonymous)]

I do actually think this is misreading Paul's character and going a little bit too far in the opposite direction?

[(Anonymous)]

Uh, I think there's some pretty big differences in each of the characters you've listed. Joker, Rorschach, Paul Atreides and Scott Pilgrim are all assholes of various kinds but "various" is a REALLY REALLY big gap there.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't even know anything about Dune, but having sympathy for characters you're not supposed to is just a part of fandom. It doesn't mean we don't understand the point is that we're not supposed to, it just means sometimes we think the point is messed up and don't agree, or we don't care because the character is hot and not a real person doing bad things in the real world. Sometimes both.

[(Anonymous)]

...you know you can like a character and think they're an asshole at the same time, right?

[(Anonymous)]

AH I'm curious about why he is a terrible asshole character. I know nothing about Dune and I doubt I will ever see/read it, but I need to know....

[(Anonymous)]

I feel that. I felt the same way about the Bene Gesserit in the first movie. Like, GUYS, the secret society of mind control eugenicists aren't supposed to be the good guys.

But. Other properties have left their mark and now I have so much more sympathy for Paul after playing the 40K Rogue Trader crpg and (spoilers) accidentally starting multiple holy wars of my own. Sometimes you're trying your BEST you're trying to be NICE but you just whoopsiedoodles your way into creating a messiah and/or raising a new god.

I get it now Paul.

[(Anonymous)]

i like plenty of characters who are assholes because they're fun or interesting (if written well) and totally fictional. but i hate actual real life assholes like trump and elon musk.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like you don't understand what fiction is.

[(Anonymous)]

I like asshole characters, they're fun to watch. I never had any interest in Dune but this secret made me want to give it s go to see if I'd like him.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't actually get that from the narrative, but even if I did, when contrasted with Baron Harkonnen, of course he's more sympathetic.

...but the tragedy of Dune is that the broader social systems and structures mean that even a well-meaning hero is going to cause suffering. You're not meant to come away from it thinking "Oh, if only a better person had been the Fremen messiah", the point is that heroes by their very nature are destructive.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, the writer(s) may intend for the audience to not like him, but that has no bearing on whether or not the audience actually does. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Can someone explain this secret? I read all the words but they don't make sense to me? It's like staring at a magic eye picture.

I would REALLY like you to be more specific what you mean when you say we aren't supposed to like that era of Who, because AFAIK it's one of if not the most popular classic Who eras in fandom. And rightly so, too - apart from one or two bits of hideously awful racism, it's great.

I don't think Case really sorts the secrets, I unless the secret makers state a preferred day.

And fucked up Fridays are still a thing anyway.
