Description D.Gray-Man (c) Hoshino Katsura
Lenalee Lee (c) Hoshino Katsura
Stamp by ~ChikitaWolf

Kinda goes along with my “How is the rape of a fifteen year old boy ‘kawaii’?” rant stamp.

Whenever I actually find a hetero pairing (which has become less and less common these days) in the DGM fandom… half the time it’s Lenalee being paired with multiple men in ONE FanFiction and being portrayed as a whore. Or a stripper.

And not for plot-development. Or theme. Or lesson. Or whatever.

Only for fan service.

A friend of mine ~SorasGirl88 made a piece of artwork a while back voicing her own irritation towards Lenalee being whored.

I agreed—of course. I just never realized just HOW MUCH Lenalee is portrayed as a whore in the FanFictions. And especially in the DGM fan art these days.

And once again, FF.net burned my eyes. But it wasn’t just FF.net. It was also here on dA.

Lenalee’s a girl. She’s a part of an anime fandom. It’s only natural for drawings of her doing fan service to pop up. I can understand some people like that stuff.

But to pair her up with multiple men at once? And to detail scenes of her being in bed with multiple men at once or multiple men in a day?

That’s just ridiculous.

And incredibly OOC. Then again, most of the ways people have recently been portraying her is OOC.

It bothers me, as I’m sure you’ve figured out by now. I understand people have their fetishes—but if you’re going to write a story with Lenalee like that, please mention it in your summary. Please. And admit it’s OOC.

AND IT IS OOC.

I won’t even get into her sister-complex, over-protective brother who wouldn’t hesitate in castrating the entire DGM cast of men if something like this was going on with Lenalee. Talk about him sicking his robots on people. Good Lord.

And it’s not just in the D.Gray-Man fandoms. I’ve noticed more and more female characters of books series, anime series, TV series—you name it—becoming whored.

I’m saying this is a fan of the things I enjoy reading. This isn’t a discussion of reality vs fiction.

This is a fan being disturbed by how people have been ruining characters as of late.

Where’s the pride for keeping characters IN-CHARACTER? If you want a bunch of characters being whored and f*cked, make your own characters, dang it. I’m sick and tired of seeing so much OOC crap.

That’s my opinion though.

On a more wide note—if you’re writing a FanFiction, please warn us beforehand that you’re going to whore a character for nothing more than fan service.

Especially Lenalee Lee.

Who could totally kick any DGM guy’s @$$ if she wanted to.

NOTE: If I see you bashing Lenalee mindlessly in the comments, I’ll hide your comment. Bashing Lenalee is NOT the purpose of this stamp. If you want to bash her, go on a bash Lenalee piece of artwork. Thank you for understanding

Completely agree with you ... (very touching to find someone who understands)
The sole reason I don't read fan-fiction... Is my fear of what they would do to the characters...
Sisters do, and I hear them complain a lot about it...

oh my goodness i hate how people whore out girl characters.
guys: do it because they want to get all horny
girls: they hate the girl characters cause theyre jealous
like WTH?! lenalee is no whore. She doesn't even have traits that are disagreeable. Yes, I'm sad that Hoshino has made her look so useless recently, but girls have all the right to get upset. We cry when we can't help it because we're hormonal and all. Give us a break. Guys wouldn't understand, and other girls just try to act better than other girls because let's face it, we like to fight and pick on each other.

I definitely agree with you. Lenalee's one of my favorite female characters in DGM because she's a strong girl who's been through a whole bunch of crap and cries about it. I mean, honestly, if all that crap happened to a girl, wouldn't you cry? Besides, girls are girls; we cry when we want to. If Hoshino made Lenalee an emotionless girl who always fights, I would see a Mary Sue like character.

ChikitaWolf In reply to drunkenfox [2011-07-07 16:00:58 +0000 UTC]

Make sure to put it in the "romance" and "T" features (I wouldn't want to lead you to the "M" )

Some of them are old, as (thank God) they've slowed down. But they're definately there >.>

Usually it's in the fics that are with yaoi pairings of sorts. Like a Yullen fic where Lenalee is B-slapped constantly so Allen can be paired with Kanda and whatnot ._.

never find anything like that at all.

I don't mind going to the "M" section
found a very good "Tyki x Lavi" FanFic there

But seriously I've never came across anything like rape or whoring out amongst the "Romance" and "T" options

Time for small observations made by the seemingly prudish KaiKai~♥

The internet is being opened up to more people of all ages worldwide. Because of this, more content can easily be spread to various age levels.
Mostly, of course, pornography.

And of course, the fanbases keep expanding to younger fans (most notoriously, the 13-year old fangirls). Said younger fans are constantly exposed to a more pro-sex and drugs media than older fans because nowadays sex and drugs is, literally, everywhere. Be it in the shows we watch (subliminal messages are everywhere, from Disney to Nickelodeon...ugh) or the music we listen to--especially the music we listen to.
Subconsciously, these messages stick within the brains of the poor under developed fans (for any sorry little fangirl who reads this: Dear god, your brain isn't finished developing completely until you're in your early 20s. Theoretically).

Then we come back to the fabtabulous internet. Within the fabtabulous internet, people are prone to exaggeratedly excessive cursing and more sex appeal than they will ever actually have in reality. Unless we all plan on becoming pimps in Vegas or some stupid shit like that.
The younger fans instantly want to fit in with us sophisticated cursaholics and sex addicts, so they mimic us. Pretty soon, it becomes a part of their daily internet lives and, unfortunately, a part of their daily thinking process.
Naturally, the driving appeal to this forbidden language of curses and sex is the mere fact that it's frowned upon in real life and most likely your parents will ground you "forever" if they found out what you were doing online. But what do they know? We're the future of the world, we can do whatever we damn well please.

...
Dear god.

The shared fascination between all this increasingly inhumane fans (admittedly, mostly girls. That's just generic fact: Boys will happily watch porn; girls would rather write it. Though drawing it seems to be uni sexual) leads to increased roleplays where everyone is immediately pairings off otherwise you're the one sitting out of the loop, and increased roleplays leads to a serious lack of orginal character comprehension, which leads to the dreaded OOCness of beloved characters and god awful Mary Sue OCs. This seeps into fanfictions (in which people find the need to taint the pure image of a lemon and turn it into a term for intense graphic sex scenes. This is what smut is, honestly. *face-->desk*) and fanart, and because this is so easily accesible, more and more people can see it, and as younger and younger people find their way onto the internet and onto these websites containing this fanmade media...the circle simply grows, never ending.

And of course, thanks to lack of real sex education (in the sense that the majority of the fans of this growing fad are virgins), they turn to their t.vs and books and mimic what they see. Sex is no longer a form of love and compassion; it's now an activity shared between two or more people because it feels good, and the only way you can know for sure if you truly love someone is if it feels really good when you do it with them. Alternatively, drugs and alcohol make everything much better.

*shakes head*
I'm going to stop now before I give myself a concussion and return to the happy-go-lucky world of fluffy romance and chibi cuteness~♥

Well that is interesting. Lenalee whoring? No way, that wouldn’t be IC at all. I think she might do something radical if her brother went too overboard and she got tired with it but to go that far as to sleep with two guys at same time? Nu-uh. I don't really like her but the reason is that though she is really a strong female (might spoil if someone who hasn't gotten to being on a ship to Japan-episodes reads this) they made her to lose her boots and after that she's been almost nothing but crying and being saved. I truly hope that she'll get her former glory back in some point.

My oppinion about hentai, is as it is about yaoi (and many other things) , it may be good, but only in a measurement, that is, sex fanfics (of either gender or kind) might be good, as long as it doesn't have the character constantly having sex in every available free moment they have, or portraying kids (anyone under the age of 18) being a constant sex-object (also in reference to a previous stamp).
To put in a nutshell, in my opinion, good things (pie, yaoi, fanfics, more pie, cats, pie, computer games, pie) are a bit like ice cream (or any other cold delight for that matter) if you eat it you'll enjoy, but if you gobble it too fast (or too much) you''ll either end up with a headache (aka. brain freeze) or a stomach ache (in both cases you might end up like "what was i thinking?!?!")

Excume, I have two observations, I hope you can read....
1.-What is "OOC"?
2.-It´s more opinion personally.... In my opinion I don´t like Lena because she cries very much. But I gree with you on that fans use a female for hard hentai (whoever). I use to Lena in my fics in romantic situations (for example Tikky´s girlfriend) and I don´t write fics hentai.... well.... yes... it´s a one pair that I like, but this other thing.
thanks for you atention.
