mmxwritingcircle Because if I see another X acting like Superman or that uke from Okane Ga Nai, I gotta kill someone.
Just post here the characterization tropes that make you see red in the fandom, OK? I only ask you to not link to badfic here; and naming names only allowed if the thing is creepy / bigoted as fuck. Also, this time you don't need to be restricted to X series only 8D
Not commenting with mine here because tiredness and because I wanna see your stuff first :)

Date: 2015-07-31 11:00 pm (UTC)I tend to interpret Axl as less of a child and more like a cheerful fratbro, making him kind of a foil to asshole fratbro Vile, which kind of makes sense, since both are the Bass expies of the X series (Vile in personality and affiliation, Axl in game mechanics).
Abusive Wily, I think, comes from Ruby-Spears, where he can act quite shitty to his RMs as far as I know. But shitty =/= abusive rapist. Also, people who think that beating and raping is a totally cool thing for evil villains to do without serious analysis and care shouldn't be writing about beatings and rape in the first place.
