One of the ironic things about the
thread is that people were hating more on her appearance than they were
on her personality or her character design.

Given this stance,
someone should start a Tali hate thread about her being a fanservice
character. After all, her personality is only cute to most people
because she is so nerdy. They simply lack the ability to overlook the
fact that she is a very ignorant character ../../../images/forum/emoticons/whistling.png.


Nah, let's not stoop to that level. We don't have vendettas against any characters, after all, they're still just fiction hehe.

This a loooove thread, and that's all we spread.

(hey that rhymed :P)

@Darth: Oh sure of course! We will have to show Kab the ropes first though. After that there's many things we can do. After you left we had fun racing a large assortment of vehicles, ranging from Ice Cream Trucks to Flatbed Trucks to Mopeds xD There are also co-op missions we can play, or Cops&Crooks, etc. There is more to do than just killing each other, though Meg getting rammed and blasting us with RPG's was funny :)

Oh please don't.  Alot of us are in both threads and hate threads are for lame people.

Speaking of that bizarre 10 reasons to hate Miranda thread I had a really good time in it before I got bored.  The haters are pretty weak.

Not sure what the point was.  But it allowed me to hammer some haters which was a good way to let off steam.

Was she trying to prove a point or something?

Sometimes I wish I COULD have discussions about Miranda with people who don't frequent this thread. Feel like I'm living in my own little bubble sometimes and I get the feeling that some of my theories probably don't belong in a support thread (like her father being abusive)

Well, well. It seems the Miranda hate thread got locked :P:P

I really don't know what padaE intended with that thread, but it backfired heavily.

@jtav:
You said Miranda has "more issues than National Geographic". Nice analogy, but I don't agree. She doesn't have more than most people.

I got a little bored after an hour of killing each other with no real point behind it, that's all.  If I wasn't so tired and cranky by the time we were racing I may have been able to see the funny side of being so awful at it :P

A Miranda outreach program? Image IPB

I think people would be ok about you posting these theories in their own threads.  You might bounce them off us and then if you think it is interesting enough make your own thread.

You think you'd like a discussion who are less sympathetic to Miranda than we are? That would be interesting, but that debate would soon be swamped by knee-jerk haters. Little chance of having a remotely mature discussion. Perhaps in another ME forum.

@Meg: Nice! Let's hope Kab gets on soon.

@Fire: Well, the timeframe could range from 4:45-8pm EST or later. I know it's not real clear cut but we wanted to celebrate Kab getting the game today and showing him the ropes to GTA. From who I see online ATM, myself, Darth, Meg, and you Fire can play. Odin went offline but I'm sure he'll get on again. Flashy is in the middle of a clan match right now but she should be available a little later on.

To hear some people on another thread tell it, I must be crazy. I'm a straight female who loves Miranda. Apparently, the only good thing about her is the fanservice.


Ignorant and shallow opinions of Miranda based on prejudiced views should be ignored.

They say she's all about fanservice, yet the irony is they're the ones focusing only on superficial traits, with no in-depth exploration of the character.

They consider a strong, intelligent, competent and independent woman degrading to other women for ridiculous reasons like her clothing choices or the fact that she's sexy and beautiful.

Like that blogger on Kotaku, they're just ignorant hypocrites.

Your mind is in fine working condition, jtav.

That is the thing that drives me nuts.  In the name of not wanting women to be judged solely by their looks they are doing just that.

Oh, I know my chances here are nil. Sadly. Maybe I'll try out one of my theories on LJ. Feel like I'm sort of "betwixt and between" around here.



Ieldra and I disagreed. Surely a sign of the apocalypse. Kidding.

Or they're unfamiliar with the concept that a woman might actually have it all: intelligence, competence, independence and attractiveness. We're so used to the stereotypes "beautiful but not so smart" and "competent but (or even because of being) unattractive that It's a mental challenge for some people to break out.

Even one of the writers voiced his concern that some fans would jump to conclusions regarding Miranda before getting to know her as a character. It's unfortunate, but I also think it makes her very real. Not everyone has the benefit of a dashing first impression but it's made all the more rewarding when you can grow past that.

Didn't you recently say we agreeing so much was creepy. I only want to make the situation more bearable :P

I still think you should post your theories here. Most here know that you like Miranda regardless of your speculations, and you can still move away if things become too difficult.

Edit:
Good night btw. I'm depriving myself of much needed sleep again. Need to get up at 5:30 :(
