CHARACTERIZATION PET PEEVES

[variable_x]

 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 :)

Almost all of your points can be pointed to sexism in the fandom: the failure to understand that being emotional and sensitive (traits still coded feminine) equals weakness and its flipside, the idea that to be a BADASS you should feel no emotion or, if strictly necessary, angsty manpain over a dead female character.

AND UGH WAIFU NAVIS. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH. They're professionals, not some random freeloaders on the base. AND EVEN IF THEY WERE FREELOADERS/REFUGEES, they wouldn't throw themselves to the feet of any male character that gives them a look.

You already know my position about Layer-bashing: extremely slut-shamey and racist with extra shit points if she's compared to Iris (the gynoid with the palest skintone and most conservative design, just saying). HOW CAN SHE ~STEAL~ ZERO FROM SOMEONE IF SOMEONE IS DEAD AND WAS NEVER ZERO'S GIRLFRIEND IN FIRST PLACE??? DeviantArt is full of those racist, sexist fucks D:
