A non-partisan anti-Xig/Dem criticism
Dec. 19th, 2007 10:10 amLet me preface this by saying that I don't usually care what pairings you like. If you don't like my pairings, I do not feel obliged to convince you that they are made of awesome. If you like pairings that I don't like, I don't feel the need to tell you why your pairings suck. If I'm vehemently against it, I won't read it; if I trust your writing or I haven't developed an animosity yet, I might take a dip and see what it's like. But in the end I can sit over here with my opinions and hope that you have not-stupid reasons for having yours.
But when 1) you spew stupid related to a pairing I like in an icon post while I'm looking for icons, and 2) you are so vehemently against a pairing I like that you make anti-pairing icons, while 3) advocating again to the point of icon-making a pairing which is equally if not more improbable...
...I feel compelled to respond to the stupid.
But Kay, you might say, she doesn't like Xigbar/Demyx because she doesn't want Demyx to be raped. You can't be advocating rape, right?
What.
Okay, her series of anti-Xig/Dem icons, I don't care. Sure, make Xigbar a cartoonish villain lusting after poor Demyx's hot ass, I've seen it before. (Why do Zexion/Demyx and Luxord/Demyx etc people feel the need to bash Xigbar/Demyx? I don't get it. I've never seen the former two bash each other, only Xigbar/Demyx.)
But in the comments she says some things I just have to call out, like...
( You don't need to know KH to appreciate stupid. )
Summary: Stop hating on other pairings solely because it interferes with your OTP of choice. That's not a good reason. It just makes you sound like you have no grasp of characterization beyond the surface cliches that make up
( My opinions on yaoi, you say? )
