My pick for Awesome New Female Character Week is Ramona Flowers, the mysterious Amazon.ca delivery girl from Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series. Ramona travels through the subspace dimension to deliver packages and is never seen without her subspace suitcase (storage capacity: unknown). Both are put to good use when Ramona's Fourth Evil Ex, Roxie Richter, shows up and wants to cut Ramona's boyfriend's head off. A fight ensues! On rollerskates.

7 pages from the fourth volume, Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together.

Well, you know, "Awesome New Female Character Week yaaay" =/= "this is why i disagree and think that this character is actually rubbish"

...That's not how theme weeks work. Unless it's secretly "If You Ever Disagree It Means That You Are Wrong" Week, too?

A celebratory theme week isn't exactly the place for someone to mock and vent about everything they hate about the character spotlighted, especially though victim-blaming and slut-shaming. I mean, disagreements are always welcome, but that doesn't open things to making someone feel bad for liking something you don't.

Well yeah, victim-blaming and slut-shaming obviously aren't okay no matter what week it is. But what [personal profile] greenmask said was more general and made no sense.

I'm not seeing where you get "making someone feel bad" out of venting-about or mocking a fictional character, either, honestly.

"I'm not seeing where you get "making someone feel bad" out of venting-about or mocking a fictional character, either, honestly."

Uh, the whole point of this theme week is for members to make posts saying "Hey, look at this! Isn't this awesome?" So, I'm not seeing how you could miss the potential negative effects of responding with "No, this sucks actually. I hate everything about this."

Then that same reasoning would apply no matter what week it is, and so any snarky or hyperbolic criticism in a comment to a non-critical post would be bad and wrong. Which is ridiculous.
