Re: 24
(Anonymous) 2007-09-04 01:44 am (UTC)(link)I was too intimidated to stand up for myself when I got assaulted by a boy back in highschool. Does that somehow make what he did to me okay?
The OP was pretty nasty about it but I agree with him/her about the base of why they dislike Haruhi's character and why they hate to see people idolize her.
I've seen the whole series myself and honestly I don't think the way Haruhi behaves should ever be held up as 'cool'. She treats people crappy, ruthlessly takes advantage of their weaknesses, and nothing really excuses her actions.
The show has it's merits, but Haruhi's character isn't one of them for me.

(Anonymous) 2007-09-04 02:41 am (UTC)(link)I saw the whole series at my anime club, and the fact that people LAUGHED at that comp lab scene disturbed me greatly. Sexual harassment is not and won't ever be funny for me.
Re: 24
Of course Haruhi's actions weren't justified because Mikuru didn't stop her.
I just think Mikuru could have done more than start sniffling. :/
Haruhi gets a little better later in the series, especially after the first six (chronological) episodes. But yeah, I don't really see the coolness factor in Haruhi's character. If she was a real person, I'd probably hate her. D: (Somehow, being animated alleviates my annoyance towards her.)
Re: 24
No I don't think Haruhi should have taken advantage of Mikuru's meekness. I dislike Mikuru being unable to say no, but it's no excuse for Haruhi to use her as much as she does.
