I'm suggesting how you can take matters into your own hands. If you just want to vent then that's fine. Being ostracized, abused, etc. are not experiences exclusive to any specific appearance/sexuality. I can still understand and relate to Lev's struggle despite our completely different identities if you can believe it for example. Frankly identity just doesn't matter at all outside of describing what someone looks like and finding a romantic partner (EDIT: there are more situations but you get what I mean), or rather it shouldn't. Of course it does to some people sadly. You wouldn't define a real person by their looks or sexuality (I hope anyway) so it should be the same with fictional characters too. I'm also against putting stock in identity because I feel that's probably a common cause for people to get too attached to fictional characters. I'm talking to the point where they see criticism n hate towards that fictional character and their series as a personal attack. It would explain the "if you don't like X you're racist/sexist/etc." logic beyond just being a cheap way to deflect criticism. |
"Anyone can be prejudiced and anyone can be a victim, therefore we shouldn't do anything to stop bigotry or address issues plaguing a minority." Fixed it for ya.
Based on this post alone I don't think you have any interest or willingness to correct your bad behaviour or ignorant opinions on the matter. I get the distinct impression it doesn't matter how much evidence, time, or effort anyone puts into a thorough explanation of the situation will make you realize how ignorant your comments are. You made up your mind already and have no interest in learning or growing.
