Dear anonymous user: 76.100.87.48,

Firstly I was not ‘rude’, and the fact you seem to have taken my criticism of a fictional character so personally is actually somewhat worrying.

''“See, Gou's character could've been an anime troupe, like most self inserts, but instead she is not. Sure, she has her tsun-tsun moments, but we all do!”''

No actually, we don’t, further more you barely addressed my comment that she’s a self insert, and by that I didn’t mean a self insert of a writer, I was pointing out the very valid fact that she was added just so the show would have a female character.

''“AND, I don't see exactly how anyone can "latch" on to her. I say that because, sure she sometimes goes all weird around the topless dudes, but she doesn't start getting a nosebleed or whatever in the presence of any male, which most fangirls are prone to do. Gou is, by far, not a Mary Sue type character; she is just a normal girl!!”''

Gou is a Mary Sue, she has the character depth of a rock pool, she has no negative traits and her personality consists of two things; gushing over hot boy’s, and worrying about her brother.

“So not only is your comment rude and completely misplaced, but it also makes you seem incompetent AND jealous of a fictional character.”

I’ve already defended my points so the only thing here to address is the accusation of jealousy, which is to be perfectly blunt, a clear and ridiculous attempt to discredit my comments and mock me. I am not jealous of her, if I were to be jealous of a character it’d be one of the boys. I dislike her because she, as a heterosexual female has no place in an anime about gay men.

“So, to wrap up this defense of my girl Gou, she's one of the most normal characters in the show, and if you're sexist enough to believe that females can't exist in an anime purely for the plot, well then that's just your problem.”

'''Once again you show your attachment to her “my girl Gou” is another clear sign you identify with her, and that was my point; she was added to give straight girls someone which whom they can see themselves in so they wouldn’t feel alienated from the show. '''

Like I said before, she is a forced and unnecessary character. I do not dislike her because she is a girl, I dislike her because she is literally forced into every aspect of the show with little reason.
