| I don't understand; why is Aya a slut, but not Sakuya? |

--- Quote from: nintendonut888 on June 14, 2009, 09:13:50 PM ---You want to know why I hate Aya? Because she's a total jerk. Given that my favorite character is Yukari, I don't mind it when my characters are powerful, but Aya's a total jerk about it. She acts all humble about her strength, but is in fact really smug about it. It's like "I don't mean to be rude, but us tengu are way more powerful than your pathetic species can ever hope to be." And yet she sucks up to stronger people like Suika and Yukari if she were aware of her power. --- End quote --- Cite? I don't recall her actually calling other characters "pathetic". She recognizes her own power, period. And you think Aya's smug? Oh, LOL. You could throw a rock in any random direction in Gensokyo and hit a character more arrogant about their supposed power, including but not limited to certain ice fairies. --- Quote from: nintendonut888 on June 14, 2009, 09:13:50 PM ---But also, how she doesn't really care about anything other than her newspaper. One particular example is SA, where she pretty much gives Utsuho the okay to turn Gensokyo into a nuclear wasteland as long as she can write about it. Call her bending of the truth cute or charming or whatever you want, stuff like that is really unacceptable to me. --- End quote --- For a journalist, the story always comes first. But I think you're stretching your interprettation of SA a little bit. What actually happens is, Utsuho asks if Aya plans on stopping her, and Aya's response is that it depends on whether or not she'll let Aya cover her invasion for an article. But you'll also notice that Aya also tells Utsuho twice to "come out and fight". In fact, her entire attitude is pretty confrontational towards Utsuho. She knows Reimu pretty well, and knows full well that Reimu isn't going to let Utsuho raise hell, and she does in fact help Reimu fight Utsuho (if she didn't, Reimu's tengu speed ability would have disappeared at that point in the stage). --- Quote from: nintendonut888 on June 14, 2009, 09:13:50 PM ---So no, I don't hate Aya to get on the bandwagon of "lol slut." I use "lol slut" because I hate Aya that much. --- End quote --- Thus proving my point that "Aya = slut" has nothing to do with canon and everything to do with haters. |

IIRC she wants Utsuho to fight because that'd give her something to write about too. I'm too lazy to find anything exact, but I believe there are various points in StB and BAiJR where she acts pretty superior to others. Of course she doesn't call anyone pathetic directly. I'm saying she gives me that impression of what she's secretly thinking. Plus if you read the help files of StB, her objective is to take enough pictures to cause emotional damage to the target. Your defense to this? And of course I didn't even touch upon how most of her articles turn into slander. Shikieiki herself states that Aya will throw in half truths if her articles aren't enough on their own. Again, this may be a "your mileage may vary" thing, but I absolutely hate people like that. --- Quote ---You could throw a rock in any random direction in Gensokyo and hit a character more arrogant about their supposed power, including but not limited to certain ice fairies. --- End quote --- Cirno's smugness of her own power is more like that of a child being overly proud of their achievement. How much power she really does have aside, the truth is that she is the most powerful fairy out there, and at such a young age. --- Quote ---Thus proving my point that "Aya = slut" has nothing to do with canon and everything to do with haters. --- End quote --- This is your point? In that case, even I'd help prove it to you. Aya's no slut, but a meme where you get a free insult towards your least favorite character is one I can get behind. |

Shikeiki needs to lighten up. Also, I'm not trying to argue you into liking Aya. I'm just pointing out that 1. she is far, far, far from being the most "smug about her power" in Gensokyo, 2. there's a bit more to the Subterranean Animism story than you're letting on, and 3. I think you need a hug. |

I mean, this topic started to question the reason behind a meme related to how much ZUN uses Aya on the games, and suddenly I see people arguing about her mindset and whatnot. My stance on this is that everyone should interpret her character as they want. Aya's a character on a videogame, so you have such freedom. |
