Haruhi as a character

[kirant]

I don't think that this fits in any old topic.

If you want to understand the discussion, check the Hated Anime Character topic, about pages 2 and 3

My last post...
but aren't out there many anime charcters that optimistic or energetic?
None as prototypically Genki as Haruhi. None of them have a will of iron like her either. There is a reason she's the poster girl for it:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.GenkiGirl

she has a terrible backlash, and it's her meanness, arrogance, and her lust for commanding everyone.
None of them have epic music (Parralel Days, God Knows, her rendition of Hare Hare Yukia), are exceptionally genre savvy, and excel at everything in life.

ill pass, not forming part of that blind crowd
Answer this before I fire this shotgun: Is that implying I'm part of the blind crowd?

you guys could find many big boobed characters with tons of energy and having their backlashes like being silly or clumsy instead of being arrogant and B****y.
Part of the appeal is the fact that she's an unstoppable force when interested in stuff. I'll be the first one to admit: I like my characters with a little "fire in the belly". Haruhi fits that and her Genki girl side perfectly.

lol, before you fire your shotgun? noob... here take this *hands Kirant a MGL-140*

thats what you need *runs*



anyways i say haruhi is defintely a one of a kind (am i even on topic?)

[CYBERDISC]

well ill post it here again

No, it's not, only a dumbass after reading what u just wrote would think so, but precisely im finding out your fierce reasons for following such a character, and your arguments are good enough, but still, before i just couldn't stand ppl just following her with their blindness, eventually i would find a good enough fan to tell me a veridical reasons for loving Haruhi. What you just said was hardcore, but , tell me im lying, is it really worth having such groundbreaking devotion knowing all she has done and the way she behaves towards people in general? well, being energetic or not , and knowing she is just a fictional character, just imagine her in real life having done what she has done, fuck, i don't know, but that's good enough for hating her. And in your signature you clearly make effective use of her hotness, and you do not depict any Genki clues justifying your reason to follow her, so what did you expect i would argue just by watching your signature? (dont mean is bad or something)

[kirant]

Shotguns are better.

is it really worth having such groundbreaking devotion knowing all she has done and the way she behaves towards people in general?
Yup. Much of her mental proccess is the same as mine. Neither of us consider humans special. Haruhi treats them as objects, while I consider all humans animals. We are nothing special compared to the next animal on the planet. If we're destined to kill ourselves, so be it.

In short: Our mental proccesses on the belief are so similar, I feel that Haruhi's treatment of people is somewhat sustified.

well, being energetic or not , and knowing she is just a fictional character, just imagine her in real life having done what she has done, fuck, i don't know, but that's good enough for hating her.
I have Haruhi-esc friends who love messing around, doing what they want, and its ilk. I've been close friends with them for 7 years. So...what's the problem?

and in your signature you clearly make effective use of her hotness, and you do not depict any Genki clues justifying your reason to follow her, so what did you expect i would argue just by watching your signature?
All my sig depicts is the "religion" of Haruhiism and its tag. None of that is original work.

[CYBERDISC]

Agreed

Has he/she ever sexually harassed a student or hoaxed a rape just to steal computers or forced people to do stuff.... and the list goes on

Not just the picture

[7h3101im4idw0lf]

:O

shotguns are better?!

but grenade launchers make bigger BOOMS!!!!!!!

haha... im going off topic again... T.T


anyways im pretty sure a student who has "sexually harassed a student or hoaxed a rape just to steal computers or forced people to do stuff...." would be expelled

[Konata_is_Mine]

Offtopic: Yes 7h3d4rkw0lf Grenade Luanchers are better.
Ontopic: No the sexual harresment would get expelled although people at my school do it but not for computers.

[kirant]

Has he/she ever
- sexually harassed a student? Yes. As part of an "initiation ceremony" to our group, we canned the guy, stuffed snow down his pants, and let some other guy, who is really perverted mentally, be with the initiated person in a room for ~5 minutes. Literally nobody got in trouble BTW
- hoaxed a rape just to steal computers or forced people to do stuff. No. However, a different friend of mine used the excuse of "somebody is trying to r*** me" to get a ride to the local Greyhound station to run away from home.
- and the list goes on. Keep it going.

[CYBERDISC]

- and the list goes on. Keep it going.


-Forcing someone to bring an air conditioner from the city and not even saying please or thanks (knowing that if he does not, he will be beheaded)
-Using stupid excuses to make someone pay everything (you know ho am talking about, again , knowing that if he does not, he will be beheaded)
-Skip Classes arbitrarily
-Force people to join his/her club (same threat)
-Being mean the 1st day of class introduction


nothing else comes to my mind right now

[Lucky Flame]

The 3rd and last ones I've seen before. In real life. They're not big deals.

well but im using all i had in mind as long as it's true

[kirant]

-Forcing someone to bring an air conditioner from the city and not even saying please or thanks (knowing that if he does not, he will be beheaded)
He had once had us collect stuff from one of our friend's house and drag it to his house. About the closest thing to a thanks was "Got it? Good."

-Using stupid excuses to make someone pay everything (you know ho am talking about, again , knowing that if he does not, he will be beheaded)
Yes. Granted, he's paid for other stuff.

-Skip Classes arbitrarily
Not me, but he's done that to other to fix up his Warhammer 40k army.

-Force people to join his/her club (same threat)
No. He never created a club.

-Being mean the 1st day of class introduction
See initiated guy.

[CYBERDISC]

well... you know what they say, what are friends for?

[kirant]

Epic real life Capture the Flag games.

Seriously, Haruhi's behavior isn't anything odd IMO.

i do alot of her stuff regularly :P (except the sexual stuff)

[Lucky Flame]

Well there's a beginning for everything.

[VK-Skelton]

Is there a point to this thread other than 'bawwww people dun liek my fav characher'?
No character pleases everyone. There are going to be ones people like and ones people don't like. We can argue a character's merits/bad points untill the cows come home, but it ain't gonna change people's opinions.

[kirant]

Oh, we know. We're just discussing what the character traits, at the end of the day, actually are...and how realisic this things are. At least, that's why I'm aiming for.

[VK-Skelton]

Fair enough, I just want to steer away from the shitstorms I've seen these threads descend to.

[Luis]

I don't worship other people's characters. I'm neutral on the like or hate Haruhi thing. I'll let everyone have their opinion vs opinion war while I hide in a safe place.

Fair enough. For that reason, you don't want to see YouTube "Edmonton Oilers Suck" videos. That's all the comments are.

YouTube comments, in general, are making me lose all my remaining faith in humanity.

Anyways like luis said, I'll let everyone have their opinions since it's not going to change like VK said (your back!!!!)
