I don't really get all the people saying the new girl is nice. I have a little bit of sympathy for her situation, but it's pretty limited. I've never been that impressed by "Oh poor me I'm always number two"--do those people ever have any sympathy for the people further down? They do not, and she's no exception. Plus, the reason she wants to be number one is a smidge of hypercompetitiveness added to a bunch of need for adulation--she wants all the fans so she can bask in the attention and love, none of which she plans to return. She's a self-centred narcissist; how is that "nice'?
She isn't a character who IS NICE, she is a character who has NICE CHARACTER DESIGN--she LOOKS pretty and inoffensive, and she didn't ever QUITE look yandere when she said some of the creepier things she said. So, enough to be "nice" I guess?
'tis comedy and light hearted. Why doth thou want to overcriticize things that makes people happy?
OK, so first, it wasn't a criticism OF THE MANGA. You can make excellent manga with characters in them who are self-centred narcissists. I was just noting that people who called her nice were being wrong on the internet. And as XKCD explained years ago, that's IMPORTANT. :D
But, if it HAD been a criticism of the manga . . . obviously, I criticize things that make "people" happy if they don't make ME happy. Do I have a duty to be made happy by something just because somebody ELSE likes it?
Oh, and it's "dost thou". "Doth" is third person; "thou dost", "he doth". Now you know.
