I saw your post on hating on 2D or fictional characters and I agree. I can joke about hating and slander on a character cause comedy.
But when people are hating on the character for just existing or have bad faith argument when they just hate a character have a trope and such.
I use the example of Scrappy Doo. I never gotten the hate for that character, yet in all of Scooby Doo's history, all I hear is hate on that character to the point the first Live action movie, James Gunn made him the villain.
Like, you can criticize and have your opinion. But its a whole another thing to hate that character because they're not your thing. This worse with being a fan of villain characters, these people need to understand that others can separate the characters from their action (in fiction)
What's worse, they'll insult people who like that character, like yes. There are cringed with some people in social, but not everyone is bad.
You'll see people hate on a character and call them worse things because they like them and that, I was like... "Okay? why insult fans of that character?"
Sorry for ranting, its just tiring to join in a new fandom and immediately hit with this kinda of hate cause you like a character. When you are just here enjoying the series/story/characters.
Anyway, I'll go back staring at Glasya's back and Barb's thigh. Have a nice day Jaze :3
Ty Spark, I hope your weekend was great! :D (and you got to enjoy Glas and Barb to your fullest contentment)
But all of this is so true. I was disappointed when I saw Scrappy as the villain when that movie came out because I enjoyed the spin off with him in it! Never understood what they didn't like about him...he didn't do anything jarring to me anyway. It's like hating on Wishbone LMAO (another doggo character I enjoyed in my youth)
There's only been a small handful of character's I disliked for petty reasons but yeah again I'd never insult ppl who like the character. I'd just scratch my head and be like okay i don't get it but i'm sure there's things I do that they don't get either.
This is also a big reason I'm very choosey with the fandoms I interact in. Others sometimes jump on you for liking or disliking a certain character so hard it's almost as if you came in their house and spat in their face.
