Well, first off, no on in advent children, aside from Rufus, is given a good portrayal. That movie was trout.

Secondly, I offer up... A bit of a *Twitch* defense of *violent twitch* final Fantasy VIII here.

Every character in that game is, in some way, emotionally broken. It may still be badly written, but it's not really fair to call sexism on Quistis for a desire to be liked, when the whole cast shows very similar emotional short comings. And after all the games I've played, the fan club is a phenomenon that happens to both men and women. It is, at best, a trivial point to bring up, and at worst a very bad point because it's something that happens to both genders, about the same amount.

Now that I've finished offering up a kind of defense for FF VIII, I'm going to be going off to slash my wrists now. Good day sirs!
