	Given the complete devaluation of that term, that just means you don't like her. I'm sure that we're all deeply moved by your opinion. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 7 comments) (Show 7 comments)

	Deeply moved enough to respond to it. And it's because of her fan base that I don't like her. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 6 comments) (Show 6 comments)

	Wow, that's novel. "A large number of people like her quite a bit, so she sucks!" I'm eagerly anticipating the inevitable Nazi comparison that demonstates beyond any possible depth your utter shallowness. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

	Well no, it's more like a small amount of people like some imaginary fan reconstruction of her character that has been raised up on a gargantuan pedestal and then encased in a dome to prevent any and all character development from reaching her.

There's character development, and then there's just shoving random things in because you can't be bothered.

Good character development example, Terry McGinnis: goes from being a young, inexperienced street punk with a habit for bad puns to someone who's actually good at Batmanish superheroics with a more deadpan sense of humour.

Bad character development example, Cass: "I'm abandoning my Batgirl title as all my friends are dead and I couldn't do anything to help them, and I can't superhero effectively in the constaints of the Bat Family, so I'm going to do it under my own terms." to "Damn, I sure like being evil! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

	Fan reconstruction? O_O wait...are you talking about the fancomic. I don't think anyone believes ebot's Cass is a Cass Can in character. His is just a commentary type thing. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	If the regular version of Cass was how I wrote her, it would be hilarious, disturbing and I'd be complaining just as much about the mischaracterisation. laughs (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Ignore theanswer. He/she/it/they is Scans Daily's biggest troll right now. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
