Fandom secret 841:

122: Right, because dropping the character with the most and most realistic character development is a good idea. As for his skill at bending? And fuck you for taking a shot at his bending. It's called working for your skills, instead of getting them god-modded to you.

159: You're still waiting to find a female character that you like because you have problems with women. YOU have problems with women. Try therapy and then talk to me. Because, I'm sorry, if in a group of women with such diverse personalities as Katara, Dax, Mulan, Buffy, and Orihime you can't like even one of them? You have epic fucking problems.

Okayyy. . .not dignifying #122 with a response, as I really think that has to be a troll. It's too outrageous of a statement, focused on the narrative, and aimed at something that seems designed to upset the majority of the fandom.

#159, though, is very slightly apologetic and self-aware, so it probably isn't a troll, I guess, though I'd feel better if it were, because. . .gender is not a character type. There are female characters of every personality, shape, and size just as there are male characters, and the only times I see people focusing exclusively on one and not the other are usually issues of attraction, not genuine love of those characters.

Also, Mulan is on that thing. Who doesn't like Mulan? (A bit biased, but still.)

Yeah, clearly 159 is someone who hates characters with a vagina, full stop.

I have no idea how doesn't like Mulan!

Also, Chihiro! Chihiro.

Like I said, they seem apologetic, though, not angry. I don't really understand them, or why they would have such a problem, though. Many of the characters depicted are three-dimensional characters, and I like many of them for the same reasons that I'd like them for if they were male, so . . .it's sort of just "huh?" to me.

They have a problem because clearly they have a problem with women, full stop.
