He created Harry Dresden though? These character do not simply emerge from the mind fully formed. At every stage, the author makes choices on what kind of character they want to create and the tone they want to set for their series. Everything is a choice for AND against something.

Any time they claim historical accuracy I roll my eyes and ask them if they're willing to describe women with actually body hair (and not just arm pits).

You want to claim historical accuracy for your r*pe fantasies then you gotta claim the fact that hairless women were not historically accurate either.

I'm on the other camp on this one. I hated Holden Caulfied. He didn't make any original or meaningful observations at all. He was just a narcissistic sociopath borderline psychopath and misogynist.

The only time I felt sorry for him was when his teacher started to behave inappropriately with him. But he was still an asshole even before that happened to him.

It often worries me when people say they find this character interesting because I'm like did we read the same book? Wtf.

Idk.

To each their own.
