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

[(Anonymous)]

I think it depends on the medium and how often the douchiness occurs, and if there is anything that can redeem the character (at least somewhat.)

I don't read or write fic, so characters are usually just how they are in canon to me. But this takes me back to "the medium." In superhero comics, particularly long running ones, it's easy to have a canon you prefer and writers you particularly like or dislike, so it's also easy to have your own interpretation of a character.

Tv can also be *somewhat* flexible in this way with multiple writers and depending on the show, the person in charge can even change. If it's a long running series I can think a character is an ass, but maybe it's just for a certain arc. Though if the writers are consistent, I may just hate the character for the entire run.

Actors can also sometimes save things a bit, I recently realized 11 is one of my least favorite Doctors in Doctor Who. It's an opinion I didn't realize I had because I really struggled with this since Matt is so lovely in the role. But Eleven's entire arc is horrible. The plots were a mess and the Doctor was often not sympathetic in the slightest and was very often outwardly sexist in the weirdest way. Whenever I think fondly of 11 it's definitely a case of me separating him from the writing.

But that's really not often the case for me, if the writing is bad enough sometimes I'll just hate the character... So my answer really is "it depends."
