A responsibility you are now resolved of

You no longer need to inform people that the following things are not supposed to be taken as good uncritically: The character of Holden Caulfield, the character of Walter "Rorschach" Kovacs, the relationship between Humbert Humbert and Dolores Haze, the romance between Romeo and Juliet, and the characters of Don Draper, Walter White, and Tony Soprano.

Everyone knows now. You can stop.

Thank you.

Remember when I kept getting mad at Breaking Bad because they were using a Caucasian protagonist for a show about a field largely dominated by Hispanics?

Shinji Ikari should probably be added to that OP.

Just the other day, I saw a TV documentary about treatment of American Indians in films and TV. And the program thought John Wayne's character in The Searchers was supposed to be unambiguously heroic.

We're all missing the most important thing here: What about Haruhi Suzumiya?

Tachyon · 2015-11-20 16:46:08

What about The Prince?

And yet he was also an ardent advocate for the republican system. Very complicated man.

Calica · 2015-11-20 17:47:00

wasn't the thing about the Prince that "sure, republicanism is better, but if you have to be a monarchy, you should be a huge asshole about it"?

Calica · 2015-11-20 17:47:19

also it was written specifically for one particular Medici or something

this is a sound point

I think rather than Shinji, Rei belongs on this list.

The main thing I've gathered from this is that Nietzsche was actually a time traveler.

Klinotaxis · 2015-11-20 20:08:20

that discourses I.ix bit is fascinating

Odradek · 2015-11-20 20:17:36

What most people don't know is that The Little Prince is a prequel to The Prince.
