If you didn't like them from the beginning, fine, I have no problem with that. To each their own, as they say.
My issue is, and has always been, with people who treat these girls like they're devil-spawn just because of a few omissions about themselves. It may only be a game and some people may just be being deliberately outlandish in their comments, but I have seen some very harsh, cruel, and violent things said about them just because of this one thing and to me, it speaks to how these people would view such a thing in real life and I find some of their views callous and heartless.
So these comments of mine aren't directed at you or anyone who had no interest in these characters and are largely indifferent towards them, but rather to anyone who would think that the actions shown by M&J warrant people like that being treated like dirt and/or physically harmed in some way, because I take issue with such a lack of compassion.
