"Yes, yaoi fans can be idiots too..."

Never let it be said that just because someone is a yaoi fan means they are naturally open-minded and accepting. Yaoi fans can be just as closed-minded as anyone else, just about different things.
Now, an interesting link promoting tolerance in the yaoi and slash communities. http://www.loverboys-blue.com/bg/tolerancerant.html
However, I don't feel that applies to me. Why? I don't hate female charas just because they're female. For example, I liked Aerith in ff7, I hated Tifa. I dislike Tifa simple because of her personality, not because she was female. ff8, I like Quistis, I hated Rinoa. Again, the personality, and the fact that even at level 99, she's a lousy fighter. I disliked her for her own merits, not her gender. ff10, I adore Lulu, and I really do like Yuna, even if she's a bit wishy-washy at times. It's actually Rikku who tends to annoys me a little, but thats because I don't relate well to perky people. (And yes, sometimes I'll give Tidus a "look" when he gets a bit airheaded.)
So when I say I can't stand a female character, I'm not saying it because of gender, it's something in their personalities that I simple do not like. I especially have a disdain for femmes who are always in need of someone to resue them, or else those who just have an attitude for no reason other than being bitchy.
And, because this whole post was inspired from the KH ml, as far as Kairi goes for me, I didn't think much of her until one point of the game where she said something that implied a distinct lack of concern for Riku's well-being. This after the whole possession bit and Riku's spirit managing to hold Ansem at bay long enough for Kairi, Donald, and Goofy to escape. That is what made me dislike her. Her gender was inconsequential.

I find it hypocritical that J. Marie would post that. When she had kiribans she had like all these rules on what she would and wouldn't write. Then she preaches about tolerance?
Aerith became tolerable to me, and I love Yuffie. Even Selphie grew on me. I too judge females on merits, and that's what makes me despise Rinoa to this day.
