24 OP
(Anonymous) 2007-09-03 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)When I say that I lose respect for people who talk about Haruhi like she's cool, that loss of respect comes out of me being very upset by people who passively take in the very negative self-important example she sets and hold it up as 'great'.
I don't refuse to talk to those people or flame them or anything, but it dissapoints me and makes me think less of them. I wish I didn't feel that way at times, but I just do.
My secret is largely in reaction to the friend that told me I was 'too sensitive' and 'clearly had no sense of humour' when I told her that I was offended by that scene and Haruhi's behaviour in the series on the whole.
She bascially treated me like I had no right to my opinion on the series and it's an additude I've sadly encountered among many Haruhi fans.
If I sound like I hate every Haruhi fan on the planet, sorry. That's not what I meant. I just can't stand the fans I know that can't shut up about how amazing Haruhi's character is and oh she's so cool and if I think she sucks than I clearly don't know what I'm talking about. =/

(Anonymous) 2007-09-04 12:10 am (UTC)(link)I admit to watching this show, liking it, not minding that scene, and I do like Haruhi herself- but I've never been one to push my opinion on others and DO understand AND respect differing opinions such as yours. I feel bad that others cannot do the same, though.
I do respect your honest opinion even if it is in the form of a secret- at least you know that thinking less of them is wrong. If only they would realize, in turn, that being disrespectful to your opinion is just as wrong.
Unfortunately...touchy subjects can be tricky to deal with from either side. :/
