Questionable Character

<< < (7/7)

ReindeerFlotilla:
Hmmm. I didn't throw the sexist term.

I'll throw it now. It's been my observation that people throwing the hate on are quick to resort to terms like "bitch" and "cunt." This usually gets them a warning and if they care about such, they stop. If they don't they get banned. But it happens, a lot.

Just happened yesterday, in fact.

I think you have valid point to consider, but if it appeared that easy, I would have already agreed with your general POV since the post you quote has me acknowledging every point you make. What I observe, or think I observe, is not explained.

It's not that I'm unaware of these points.

In later posts, right up there, I also look into Marten's character and the general reaction to. We don't agree on this point. Marten gets his share of "hate" but largely for what he does, rather than who he is.

Ultimately, my concern is not based merely on quantity, but quality. Excepting, to an extent, Clinton, none of the guys seems to really suffer from equal and opposite criticism to everything they do. If that really is the fault of the writer, for drawing dull male characters (as I originally said), okay then. I have doubts. But I also admit it might just be me.

So I humbly ask you not to DON'T at... well, anyone. If you think one is not giving enough weight to an element, that's a basis for reasoning, but you aren't going to get far by repeating what they've already said, but emphatically.

Is it cold in here?:
I see your point about the qualitative difference. The moderators, at least since I started, have never had to remove a thread titled "Marten is a [sexist slur]". The person who posted in every thread about how Faye was evil and stole her boyfriend had no parallels for any of the male characters.

RF, please correct my understanding. I believe you're talking specifically about the extreme outliers? About the people who are not just normally criticizing a character, but going bonkers about it?

ReindeerFlotilla:
Yes.

It did not occur to me that my thoughts could be construed otherwise. I see I made an error. I had no intention to imply that having a negative opinion of a woman character must be sexist. Obviously, I failed in that intent. I'm sorry.

THANK YOU.
