Bro I know ur talking abt me ๐๐
Anyway, in case anyone needs to know, I literally don't hate Kim. I feel like mildly annoyed by her presence at worst. I made a post explaining reasons I have seen ppl hate on her. And really, no where have I demonized her?
Every reason I gave had to do with her redundancy in the cast, poor introduction, and lack of character outside of her possession. This confession is acting like I called her a terrible bitch. The only comment I made referencing her personality/actions was abt her dismissal of ghost's assault on Zane and self-focus during ghost's Zane outbursts. And tbf that is a trait shared between EVERYONE at the lodge so maybe it was unfair to call her out for it specifically, but it was a post abt why ppl didn't like Kim ๐คทโโ๏ธ I never acted like she was unredeemable monster? I listed a few blunt points that were issues ppl had with her.
Also, your generalizations of "Kim haters" are broad and unmoving. Someone insulted a character u love and ur upset with that, which is fine obvi we've all been there we all get it. But you can't go cry misogyny because someone dislikes a female character u like. To act as if every "Kim hater" is just a misogynistic freak who demonizes all of Aph's frmale characters and falls over backwards for her dudes is both ridiculous and immature.
I like a lot of Aph's male characters, I'm not gonna deny that, but I'm also not gonna sit here and act like they were super cool flawless guys in canon. I am well aware of the fucked up behavior from the guys in Aphmau's series. In complete fairness, Kim was introduced around the time I lost interest in the series when I was younger, so I don't have a childhood idealized version of her that I love (tho Melissa is still a fav of mine), unlike most of the other Aphmau characters I adore.
And I don't adore Aph's version of the characters. I like what I have invented for them in my head. I just don't find anything in Kim to latch onto. Kim's a victim of bad writing, unfortunately her breed of bad writing made her uninteresting to me.
Now listen man. I don't think you can come in screaming abt how misogynistic it is to dislike a female character you like (which like, geniunely good for you. I'm glad she gave u smth to appreciate) while ur favs appear to be Dante and Travis. I love Dante and Travis as well, but we cannot sit here and pretend they are not two of the most egregious examples of casual misogyny in Aph's series (along with Laurance, we both know that). But you and me, we look past that because we see the POTENTIAL if they weren't written like shitheads.
I just don't see strong potential with Kim. That's all it is. I never got a strong read on her as a character, so I never made a glamorized version in my head for her and she never really mattered to me. I had no idea she had such a strong fanbase, and I am being completely geniune when I say I would LOVE to understand why. I want to know why people like her.
I grew up as a CRAZY Aaron hater. Re-entering the fandom as an adult I still didn't like him much. But I have since had my mind changed. There are a lot of people raving on and on abt their ideal Aaron and how cool he could be if he had kept certain traits or expierenced some different events. And they have geniunely changed my mind. There is a version of Aaron in my head I really like, cuz people were able to show me why they valued his potential. I would love to have that same expierence with Kim.
Fandom discourse and character wars aren't worth it to me. I don't want to hate any character or ship. I don't have the time nor the energy for it. If you ever think I hate a character, you're wrong.
no no go on explain how u think kim is terrible and irredeemable and the worst character ever. and ur favorite characters are laurance or dante or travis or whatever. uh huh. go ahead and explain no i really wanna hear why the only characters u demonize to hell and back are women but u love all the shitty male characters who do FAR worse things and are written WAY worse. go ahead tell me. id love to hear how u definitely arent misogynistic at all and how kim is actually just horrible and the worst bc of bad writing but every male character is awesome and cool despite bad writing
(putting this here so theres more reach bc im so ๐ also this is directed at kim haters not just Everyone In General)

#maybe it is a tad presumptuous to assume this confession is abt me#but I haven't seen other people talk abt the subject#anyway geniunely glad this ask was sent because no one would tell me why they thought my post was misogynistic#but god man please don't go around vaguing me and stirring up drama#u can just block me#or dm me and we can talk#I'm not trying to be a problem here#anyway hope t4tdanvis sees this I want a geniune conversation not this confession blog chasing and posting nonsense#or u can just block me idc
