Urgh. Fandom, why do you fail at female characters so badly.

I think what impresses me most here is that people are capable of writing something where the story itself seems semi-decent, because they don't bother to put in the additional bashing since they feel it's self-evident.

I hate when that happens because it just makes me more suspicious of everyone else's motives.

...well, at least there's a greater proportion of fic that doesn't make me hate people just by reading it.

It's not completely out of left field. I mean, we have a story where it's assumed Snowman is less important than Stitch to the point she'd be kicked out for slapping him after getting sexually assaulted. I may not have guessed how bad the reason would be, but just the fact the author was assuming it worked that way said a lot. There's a lot of things that are like that.

I just ran into yet more friendly uncle Scratch things. Some people are absolutely hellbent on insisting he's a wonderful man who has only the best of intentions toward everyone, especially the girls.

That is incredibly creepy.

Oh God fandom, why you do this?

What I've learned from this is that if you attempt to run a country, but occasionally take breaks to mess with an employee over not wearing a uniform, or stab someone who was attacking your gang, you're a psycho hellbitch who's completely incompetent.

If you lock up a little girl in a room and systematically torture her while gloating that she'll eventually do what you want just so she can die, you are the best parent ever and should be in charge of everyone else, and clearly, clearly just have their best interests at heart.
