Sep. 23rd, 2006 08:24 pmI finished Silent Hill 3!
As the credits rolled, my primary thought (besides 'Í beat god, I beat god, whooo-yeah!') was: Why the hell does Vincent have fangirls?
Thank you, and goodnight.
ETA: No seriously, I am alone in seriously disliking him because he creeps me right the hell out? I suppose he's attractive, and also he has a waistcoat - his one redeeming feature - but apart from that, not terribly compelling. He's arrogant and deliberately obscure and sure as shootin' doesn't give you many (or, uh, any. At all) reasons to like him. My point is, this thing with Vincent is only the latest example in my observations. What the hell, there's fangirls for Pyramid Head, who is meant to be everything women fear! Why?
I am going to generalize, sorry, but hear me out. I dislike most fangirlism. I also hate character bashing, in any form. I especially loathe bashing of female characters, when the basher claims they're 'not as good, not as interesting' as the male characters, because of the double standard it implies. Would you like a male character with the same traits? If your favourite male character was/turned out to be female, would you still like him/her?
I bet that when I play SH4 and start looking up stuff on that, there'll be fangirling for Walter Sullivan, despite the whole crazier than a beanful of boxes thing and the fact that he quite gruesomely killed a large number of people. Can anybody theorise on this?
