fyeahcontroversialcharacters:Character: Kotori Monou Fandom: X/1999 Reason for Being Hated: “Weak”, “boring”, “helpless”, “never does anything for herself”, “clings to Kamui”, “in between Kamui and Fuuma”, “so weak she’s anti-feminist”.From another submitter: “Weak”, “whiny”, “weepy”, “damsel in distress”, “too girly”, “stupid”, “gets between Kamui and Fuuma”, [SPOILER] only exists to die in the end [SPOILER]. (Note from submitter: I really love all of CLAMP’s female charas, and seeing Kotori treated like she’s a bitch merely for not being the strongest girl ever or being liked by a slashable dude is… ew. Seriously, ew.)I liked her enough, though she could have used more fleshing out IMO. Still, her core character gave me no problems, as this trope never does. Not every girl is, or needs to be, an Action Girl. But I’m reblogging this mainly because: are they seriously using “too girly” as a criticism? This woman, she’s too feminine! What I look for in my female characters is a man. Damnit, CLAMP -- source link
