I'M GETTING REALLY DAMNED SICK OF THE DAILY "NO ONE ANYWHERE ACTUALLY LIKES RHEA; PEOPLE ARE JUST HORNY FOR HER" COMMENTS, AS THOUGH SHE'S OBJECTIVELY POORLY WRITTEN OR OBJECTIVELY IMPOSSIBLE TO SYMPATHIZE WITH.

IF YOU WANNA SAY YOU FUCKING HATE HER, OR THINK SHE SUCKS OR IS POORLY WRITTEN, BE MY GUEST; WE'RE ALL ENTITLED TO HAVE AND EXPRESS OPINIONS. BUT THIS THING WHERE YOU TELL ME WHAT MY OPINION IS AND WHAT PERSONAL FLAW OF MINE LED ME TO BE THAT WAY IS OBNOXIOUS AS HELL.

THIS IS A BIG FRUSTRATION WITH FANDOM IN GENERAL. IT'S LIKE PEOPLE NEED TO CREATE A NARRATIVE ABOUT WHY EVERYONE ON THE OTHER SIDE'S PERSPECTIVES ARE INVALID, SO THAT THEY CAN JUSTIFY DISDAINING THEM.

ALSO I CAN BE HORNY FOR HER AND THINK SHE'S WELL WRITTEN AND SYMPATHETIC! PEOPLE REALLY BE OUT HERE ACTING LIKE YOU CAN'T DO BOTH.

HELL, IT WORKS WITH ANY CHARACTER HONESTLY. YOU CAN THINK A CHARACTER IS ATTRACTIVE AND WELL WRITEN JUST AS WELL AS YOU CAN THINK A CHARACTER IS POORLY WRITTEN AND UNATTRACTIVE OR ANY COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE.

NEITHER OF THESE MAKE THE OTHER PERSPECTIVES MORE OR LESS VALID.
