I have a question for all of you. What is your opinion on Rias? And I want to hear genuine opinions and not the idea of what you saw and read on this website/app. Everywhere I go and read and find a DxD books 75% of the things I look at it is always making Rias the bad and douchebag type of girl even tho the whole idea behind her is a girl who wants to get out of something that she is force into, her loving and caringness for her own Peerage, it is always switch into the mind of a bad guy from most people. I don't want any bias here so let me hear it all from you guys.

Yeah I don’t know why people make her a douchebag. She’s not even anything like they say she is. The argument of her not doing anything for Kiba and Akeno and taking advantage of them forget, she’s a devil. The whole point of those scenes is to draw parallel to a devil appearing in front of someone at their lowest to tempt them. I agree those back stories could of been better but bad writing doesn’t mean that the character is a douchebag. I’ve seen one saying that Rias doesn’t care about her Peerage when there’s multiple times in the show that the Gremory family sees their Peerage servants as family that’s includes Rias. In the Gasper episode Rias literally holds him to comfort him because she understands that he’s extremely shy. From my point of view all their complaints stem from the bad writing and misinterpreting Kiba and Akeno’s flash backs.

@Dach_Sine Ah. Maybe the betrayal theme comes with the trope of nobility being corrupted. Like in Shield Hero how Melty was the corrupted princess or something. It's rather common in media for princes/princess to be seen in that light

@BahamutSilva I can't 100% say that is the reason because there are other. But I ain't gonna talk bad about those kind of fics because there are good quality in them and there are some execute it perfectly. I am just trying to find the logic behind it and the whole Betrayed premise that is always in DxD fics
