I understand why people don't like her character. Angry, difficult female characters tend to get a lot more pushback because they go against what people consciously or unconsciously expect of women: to be pretty, agreeable, sweet, etc. But honestly, I find Carol's anger to be incredibly relateable. I try not to be as vocal about it as her, of course, because see above. But I can relate. I'm middle-aged, the world is going to hell in a handbasket, my family is dysfunctional and toxic and I'm still expected to smile, cook, clean and be everyone's emotional support human through it all.

If I were Carol, trapped in toxic positivity hell, I'd be furious, too.

This is really selling me on finally starting the series.

[(Anonymous)]

damn, I get it. You spend your whole life trying to be sweet and kind and not make a problem and just put up with all the shit you are served, and then the second you stand up for yourself, you get shat on for not tolerating it

[(Anonymous)]

Do people dislike her? I kinda love her. She takes absolutely no shit at all. And she and Manousos (whom I also adore, and is equally attitudinal) are basically our only hope against the fake fuckery going on.

[(Anonymous)]

It's for sure the case that if a woman is remotely disagreeable (unless it's a woman of color satisfying a stereotype), it makes people mad. In my experience this includes people who identify as feminists, rant about the personality characteristics men expect us to have, and claim to want more varied female characters.

In middle age, I am just sick of all of it, all the bullshit and all the justifications people have for their bullshit. I think it's part of why my primary fandom engagement is now here and not out in the wilds.

[(Anonymous)]

Yup, not liking an unlikable character is misogyny, and you know in your infinite wisdom that everyone who doesn't like her loves every unlikable male character. Same old same old.

[(Anonymous)]

Personally I couldn't stand being that angry all the time. I live in a similar situation as you OP, and used to (well, still) have anger issues, but it sucks the life out of you. I'd much rather positivity than go back to that place.

Babylon 5 is just as hopeful about humanity as Star Trek is. It just takes place over a longer span, with more stumbles on that path to improvement is all. B5 is not the darker SFF franchise!

[philstar22]

Eh. I don't agree. It is ultimately more hopeful, but it takes longer. In Trek, humans meet aliens and promptly pull themselves together and within a hundred years become an idealistic society. In Babylon 5, humans and aliens work together to reach their ideal, but it takes a lot longer, takes more work, and humanity screws up a lot more first. Babylon 5 is ultimately hopeful too, yes. But not quite to level of Trek, and in a different way.

[(Anonymous)]

Factually you're not wrong; but the reason you're not wrong is that Star Trek has spent the last twenty-five years trying to be more like Babylon Five, and I guarantee you that anyone making this complaint thinks that was a bad decision on Star Trek's part.

I finally found someone who understands my favorite character the same way I do, and they draw lovely art of them to boot. What little they've revealed about themselves also gives me vibes we could jibe together.

...The kicker is I have too much anxiety to say hi.

S!B: ...yeah. Literally everyone I tell this too has urged me to reach out. I haven't experienced socially anxiety since I was a young teenager, now I'm in my mid-30s too nervous to go "same hat" to a stranger online.

[(Anonymous)]

Good luck, nonny! I hope you manage to overcome the anxiety, even if it’s just to say “hi”.

I’m about your age and while I was never very extroverted, in the last few years I’ve worked up a level of social anxiety that I also haven’t experienced since about 13. I’m trying to push back on it and move towards being comfortable enough around new people and ambiguous situations to make real friends eventually. So I guess I’m both empathetic and a bit jealous.

I'd like to consider myself open minded, but I'll be honest...

Some of the tags on A03 make me despair about the state of humanity

I love the new animation of the Big Troopa when he's ready to launch. It's so cute.

S!B This enemy was problematic in the original, to the point they toned down all the fat shaming.

During the whole arc in Frasier after the radio station fired him, why did he never seem worried about not having money? that always struck me as odd, he was unemployed but still going to fancy restaurants, etc.

I'm pretty impressed with the translation of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. I'm sad it hasn't hooked me though, since the original was good (even with the terrible translation). Granted, the politics hit a little too close to home right now so I'll likely be playing this periodically.

B!S Unsurprisingly, Argath (Algus) is still a cunt. But damn if he doesn't have some sick burns.
