BTW PMC I just want you to know that your fan fic had me glued to my computer screen for an entire day I got nothing done and I blame you for it 
I'll proudly take the blame!

Nearly no one has bashed Ashley, the only bashing that has occured was Iliya's bashing of Kaidan. I for one actually think Ashley is very interesting, I just said that she is xenophobic early on in ME1 and is hostile towards Liara. I also said that how she acts towards Liara changes later on and that her attitude on aliens is understandable considering she hasn't had much contact with aliens and her family past, but that doesn't make it less xenophobic. I never meant for any of what I said to be taken as hating or bashing. I'm doing my first playthrough with Ashley alive right now to see what she's like in ME3, damn it! 
I point no fingers ... here, have a HUG!

I've just seen how this type of discussion never ends well ... you know a character is discussed on another fan thread. Somehow the discussion goes off track and accusations against that character are without merit or their traits are held under a blaring light that makes that mole on them 200 times bigger.
If anyone here really wants to "like" her character but is struggling with their version of who they see her as then my advice would be to go into the Ashley thread with an open mind and discuss her there.
If you like the image that you have of her as a Xeno, racist, [put negative trait here), etc etc then I'm cool with that but just don't start voicing it on poor little Liara's thread. Some of us fans of ME3 actually like other characters ... Look at poor misguided Moreeman and Tali. Tali ... yuck!
