Re: If a character is only an asshole by accident due to the writer's douchery...

[(Anonymous)]

I understand disliking the "consistently douchey but never called on it" type. But how about when it only happens like, once or twice though? Like, they did that a douchey thing in that one crappy episode, and no one acted like it was douchey -- is it impossible for you to go "ugh, writers being idiots, ignore it or write fic to explain it"? Especially if the douchey thing seemed OOC for them?

Or like, if it's in a very old movie/book, where the character occasionally shows some wince-worthy sexism/racism that barely anyone in his/her position back then didn't have? Does that qualify?

Once or twice I might be okay with, but it might depend on what douchey move they made, how much I liked the character at the time, how blindsided I was by it. I like to think I can be laid back, but if it's consistent douchiness, episode after episode, I'll be climbing trees of annoyance (and possibly drop it if it's the main character).

I wouldn't have it qualify if the book/movie/whathaveyou was written/originated in an era where something I find douchey was not at the time. I suppose I would also be okay with a modern day material having characters do things I find douchey but were acceptable for the time period they're placed in.

I might still not like the person though, depending on how douchey the douchiness is.
