Character bashing question

[Melanee]

It's like a gray area of the law, what constitutes bashing that differentiates it from character criticism?

Forgot what I said, he described it perfectly!

wording. its basically the samething

There are 2 Complete Differences

First, expressing your opinion on a character is alright with most members. For Ex. "I don't like Sakura's Ninjutsu Use." That is an opinion.

But, If you just don't like the character, and repetitively hate on that character, then that is Character Bashing. For Ex. "Sakura is SOO USELESS! SHE SUCKS ASS!" That is character bashing.

Pretty Much

That is why in the US Supreme Court there are countless arguments on the matter of freedom of expression vs hate speech. What constitutes hate that differentiates it from freedom to express what a person or institution thinks?

Like insulting characters u don't like for example "itachi is a psycho bastard"

immature opinions are the root of character bashing

True, but an excellent writer or speaker can bash a character without any immature opinions.

Ex) Sakura's duplicitous confession illuminates her iniquitous personality underscoring her deleterious effect on Naruto.

You cannot say that this is not bashing.

Character Bashing: Itachi sucks! He jacks off and calls it "Water Release"

Real Facts: Itachi has stamina issues. He can stay in a Susano'o for five minutes before he dies. (Hence it actually happened, not saying he stinks)

Lmao @ water release suiton

I just realized bashers are getting away with bashing in this thread by using it as an example.

But that's the poster's opinion on the character, why forbid him from expressing it?

As Voltaire said: "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it."

I don't know what the difference is aside from vocabulary, and a few other details, but I do know sometimes the label of 'character bashing' is applied to criticisms that are not particularly vehement nor even inappropriate, that's why that rule can be unfair sometimes.

 

[Caliburn]

Character bashing just refers to unnecessary, provoking comments about characters that could cause flamewars. Logically you can have your opinion about characters, whether they are positive or negative, however that doesn't mean you need to start bashing them, potentially provoking people who do like that character. There's just absolutely no reason to do that.

For instance you don't have to like Sasuke, but then there are people who start calling him Sasugay and that kind of stuff, which is completely unnecessary. There is no reason to show that kind of behavior. There are also people who just make thread to solely bash specific characters, most of the time void of any kind of reason.

I completely agree
sasuke is NOT gay he is just focused on killing men

Agreed.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. A poison by any other name would still be as fatal.

I'm kinda confused. Don't get what you are saying.

But, my sentence is not really full blown bashing but slanting the truth towards my favor. If you utilize precise vocabulary you can pretty much bash anyone with your opinions as adjective usually reveal your opinion.

But criticism is not supposed to be sweet and nice, that's the difference, some people label criticism about their favourite characters as 'character bashing' just because they don't like it.

Ooh yes... the insulting name alterations are another good example of bashing.

What I meant to say was, that any form of bashing would still be bashing even if you use flowery words, but legitimate criticism will always be legit no matter the vocabulary used.
