Whore is the term for a woman who is paid for sexual favors. Even a girl who sucks every guy's cock would be called a whore. Orihime doesn't run around with her breasts overly exposed and having wild sex with every male in the series.

A whiner? I really don't get why. So you're saying that even though her parents were apparently assholes, her brother died then came back and almost killed her, feels inferior to all her friends who she wants to protect, gets taken to Hueco Mundo, gets beaten up by an Arrancar and then after what looks like she's going home with her friends, gets attacked-- AGAIN-- by an Espada. I don't recall her whining at all. Sure, she's been depressed and really on the side lately but look at the circumstances.

There ain't anything wrong with disliking a character (I'm not particularly interested in Hitsugaya or Matsumoto anymore) but calling a character a "whore" on the basis of "I just plain don't like female characters" makes you sound as if you know nothing about the character.

Wow, you get pretty over-defensive easily, don't you? It's just a term. I didn't really use it referring to her having sex all the time. I just said it to display my utter dislike for the character.

I'm not going to have a pointless argument here about a character I don't even give a flying pig about and explain to you WHY I don't like her. I'll tell you something, I do know about her character, but I don't care to. I think the series would be better if she wasn't part of the group.

I don't care if YOU like her. You can like her all you want. You're entitled to your opinion. I mean, I like Hitsugaya, but I'm not gonna go ranting about how he's such a strong, great character just because you don't care for him. You can dispise him for all I care. It's none of my business.

I already said there isn't anything wrong with disliking a character. I don't care if YOU don't like her. (I didn't like her in the beginning anyway.) When you start using wrong terms, without any explanation, for them, somebody is going to say something. When you called her a whore, I found it weird because I immediately thought "she isn't sexually active nor does she wear revealing clothes".

Then you called her a "whiner", which also made me confused because I never recalled her "whining" throughout the series. Unless you consider her worrying for the her own friends "whiny".

To sum up what I wanted to say: you said things that didn't even apply to her true character. I'm not saying, "But but! Why would you hate Orihime? She's so cute, silly and sweet!"

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

I never knew anyone still took the term "whore" literally anymore. I always just use it for people I don't like, or joking around with friends around my family.

And I guess I didn't mean 'whiner' so much as her character as a whole is too emo for my taste.

[halevy.livejournal.com]

Lots of people do. In fact, the majority of females do because it's considered sexist to use it incorrectly. So is it alright for me to go and call a girl a whore because I don't like her? No, it's not.

Emo = genre of music started in the 1980s.

There you go again, saying something that is not true to the character. If you're going to hate on a character, at least talk of an aspect that is true.

Orihime was your stereotypical, "genki" type of female character in the beginning. She had a shitty life but she didn't wallow in self pity. Only after she sees how powerful everyone else around her has gotten after saving Rukia, it's only natural for her, who doesn't even have the will to kill someone, to feel inferior to them. However, this only begins after about twenty volumes of the manga. Then guess what? She gets taken to Hueco Mundo, where Ulquiorra is trying to break her psychologically, she (sort of? O_o) witnesses everybody dying one by one (besides Renji and Ishida) and then she gets beaten up by an Arrancar for no reason.

She's not being "emo". It's called depression. Losing the will to do anything because at this moment, she feels everything is her fault. And until Noitra and Tesla showed up, Orihime was pretty much back to her usual self in recent chapters.

Okay, well, that's great and all that you feel so strongly, but it's not like I walk up to real people and call them whores. I just use that term in fandom. Or my friends, family and I use it jokingly amongst each other.

I don't really care what her reason is. I'm kinda sorry I don't like her. In all honesty, I wish I did, because she's one that actually identifies with me on a very important aspect of my life, but I just don't like her. I don't care if you think the way I refer to her doesn't mirror her personality. It's the way I percieve it, and I don't see my views on her changing.

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

Okay, super, you hate me. Used to it. Will you leave me alone, now? Because I'm kind of tired of you.

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

One question, though, just for shits and giggles. Did you seriously go out and waste your time finding all these different facepalm pictures? PLEASE tell me that that's something pre-made, because if not, WOW.

[halevy.livejournal.com]

4chan. Pre-made.

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

Okay, thank goodness.

Ta, then.
