This was just a random thing I wanted to talk about after reading some random fics.
It's honestly kind of funny how much people hate Rias, like she's a fictional character who becomes a sweetheart later in the series. "oh she's power hungry" or "she let Issei die", yeah, the latter is technically true but people will simp for characters who've done infinitely worse, and for the former, all she wanted was to get out of a relationship with a womanizer, that isn't a hunger for power, that's just wanting to not suffer.
I personally have a moderately positive view of her. I don't love her, but I don't think she's a bad character when compared to 90% of shounen or ecchi characters. But it's so funny reading comments where people freak the hell out over Rias calling her all sorts of names and things, like dudes, it's fiction, it's not that serious, lmao.
Again, I'm a bit biased, but honestly, if you are going to react that extremely in a fanfiction comment section, you might deserve to get bullied, just saying.
Cheese Out.
