(Anonymous) 2011-12-19 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)Kyoko doesn't come off as uncaring, though. not within the first 2 episodes of her introduction, anyway. she shows that she is caring pretty quickly. Homura is cold and detached for most of the show. also some people were irked with how she kept telling Kyoko "oh just get over it, Sayaka can't be saved, this is how life is for magical girls you should know that" and was completely callous to her when, if anyone should understand how Kyoko felt, it's Homura. Kyoko's priority was herself until her change of heart in ep. 0, and she was villainous at first, but she didn't spend 9 episodes being cold and distant, she didn't brush off the others' emotions, and she obviously cared about Madoka, too, not just Sayaka (but it's pretty questionable if Homura gave a fuck about anyone but Madoka). so yeah it's still a pretty valid character criticism.

And Homura was only cold and distant for nine episodes because that's how long it took to get her backstory. It's not fair to act like she was cold and distant for a longer time than Kyoko when she has in fact, lived the same time loop several times and yes, grown increasingly hardened as it went on, but seriously that's not how she was at first. She didn't spend 'more time' like that. We just saw her at her most desperate, basically, because the series was the last of many time loops. Kyoko started out trying to kill someone for no reason except they were on the turf she wanted, and we're discussing Homura being callous? Please don't try to tell me she's the better person here. And honestly, Homura isn't even my personal favorite character.
I love all five girls and love them dearly. It just bugs me when one gets called on their stuff and it's ignored in others. I think that they're all equally flawed and can be equally selfish in their own way, with the exception of Madoka herself. I don't think that any are worth criticizing more than any other. Obviously people are going to have preferences and that's fine, but the continued picking apart of Homura (and Sayaka's) characters while ignoring those same flaws in others is frustrating, and I have noticed it most from Kyoko fans. And yes, OP didn't do that, but as it's been discussed in the replies, I'm addressing it.
