2.) That pisses me off too - the whole "LAWLBISHIECANDONOWRONG" attitude the vast majority of fanbrats have, while just being a female character is the bane of their existence. Some of the most awesome characters I seen, game, anime and other-wise have been women.

2. I find that most people just use that as an excuse just because said lead female gets in the way of their beloved's buttseckz... but I still agree; got, those people need to GROW UP.

3. You could really say that about any secret, though. "No one gives a damn about how you feel about this particular aspect of fandom but you."

7. OH GOD WHY

12. *dies* YES.



I find him totally cute for some reason. My roommate/ex-boyfriend looks a lot like him. >>"

2. I ♥ this one. I'm not an Escaflowne fan, but I agree with the idea behind what you're saying.

4. I had that happen to me. It really is weird. D:

[zhoutaisdayoff.livejournal.com]

That second picture looks good

[grayout.livejournal.com]

That's the one he looks most like. *dies*

[fairyfey.livejournal.com]

12. Oh, wow. Now that I've seen him -not- looking all scuzzy, I kinda have to agree. >>;

2. I have noticed that, and I'm sad to admit that I tend to judge some canon girls as sues too. I'm looking at you, Kairi from Kingdom Hearts. Yes, I like this character, but god, could everyone in the game like, not elevate her onto a pedestal all the time? Most of the scenes of the game that had her in it were pretty much a demonstration of how SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME Kairi was. She doesn't need that. She's good enough on her own.

But I'm also an equal opportunity person. I also pick on any perfect boys I find. ♥ The problem really, is that it seems like male heroes seem to have had more time spent on them for character development while some girls look like they were taped onto the side as an afterthought.

Also, I think there's some subconscious need to make the girls much more perfect or stronger, so they can fit in with "the guys." The problem comes when some people tend to overdo it.

2. Ugh, definitely. .__. (And also, Hitomi! ♥ Wow, I haven't watched Escaflowne in forever...)

7. MY EYES.

[shoyesainomiko.livejournal.com]

I absolutely concur with your thoughts on 3. Sometimes the secrets that only have to do with you and one other person are the ones that drive you crazy, too.

[grayout.livejournal.com]

Yeahhhhhh. ♥ *dies*

2. I still have a lot of trouble wrapping my mind around the concept of a canon female character being called a "Mary Sue". Because she's strong and independent? Sorry, does not compute. I do dislike whiny overly angsty female characters but then I also dislike whiny overly angsty MALE characters. I spent a lot of time when I first played FFVII yelling at Cloud, "What the hell's the matter with you!?"

7. If this is the type of work this artist does all the time I don't think I would want to get within ten feet of him/her.

10. ok, I surrender. I am going to have to look this up and find out what the hell it's all about. :P

[fairyfey.livejournal.com]

2. Oh, me too. I still spend a lot of time yelling at him.

[demyx.livejournal.com]

2. WORD.

THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE SEES THIS. NOTHING PISSES ME OFF MORE THAN EVERY FEMALE CHARACTER ON EARTH GETTING INSULTED FOR BEING COMPETENT AT SOMETHING.

7. P.L. Nunn is, apparently, a popular doujinshi writer or... something. All ehr art looks like this. Her big fic is mostly... Cloud raped by a macho man posessed by Sephiroth, with Vincent screwing both Cid and Cloud at any given moment. It's............. her art makes me want to spork out my eyes and she gets money for doing it. Why?

[(Anonymous)]

She gets paid for her stuff. I find this immensely unfair D:

[grayout.livejournal.com]

.........who the heck would PAY for that?

[(Anonymous)]

because people are stupiiiddddddddd

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

2. Yeah. I don't get it. I'm tired of seeing all these female characters being labled as Mary Sues. But male characters can do no wrong. I think my biggest pet peeve was when a lot of Castlevania fangirls started bashing Maria Renard one day for no other reason than the fact that if you play the game correctly, she -- albiet reluctantly -- follows Alucard and is assumed to become a romantic interest of his.

4. Yeah. I'd appreciate that, as well.

7. Is that who I think it is? If so her art has annoyed me for years ... and her fic writing is just as godawful. Eww. Just no.

[(Anonymous)]

That just makes me want to cry... that's so sick. Why the heck would.. yuck. So much ew.

Her art is so 4chan shock-image-ish.

[one-of-blue.livejournal.com]

It's PL Nunn I believe. That's some scary shit- god, the Gundam Pilots are effing fifteen years old why the HELL would they play Cowboy like sdjjsfkjdh UGH.

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

Urgh ... a friend of mine and I used to privately bash her stuff. It's so bad. She's the reason I hate most yaoi concepts.

Her men look so plastic and slutty ... and the random molestation and bad bondage makes me want to cry ... a lot. ;_;

[grayout.livejournal.com]

BECAUSE THEY'RE HORNY, OBVIOUSLY, DUH.

WHO NEEDS PLOT OR LOGIC!?

[one-of-blue.livejournal.com]

PLOT? WHAT YOU SAY? IT EXISTS? STILL?

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

::twitches.:: Yeah, her stuff is just bad. Really bad. The first time I saw it I was kind of nauseous ... and then some person posted her artwork on the cidvin community I mod without a warning of it being so graphic and people freaked out with good reason.
