Description
D.Gray-Man (c) Hoshino KatsuraLenalee 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

I agree with this completely (as usual... you always have good points). It totally is out of character for Lenalee. There are so many fanfics with the characters going completely OOC! one of the things I try really hard to do when I write is keep everyone in character, which yes, makes it hard sometimes to get the parts or feel that I want for the fic, but it keeps them all in character!

God, at least someone said it finally! I couldn't take it anymore!
I know how hard it is to maintain a character not occ, but still I try to not destroy its true nature, even if it's not simple.
Now, at least some people say it when they're going to make the occ, but the others don't give a single f**k, and it's annoying.
I'm happy someone said it out loud in the end

hell yeah, preach it girl! (or guy lol)
i always find it confusing and annoying when someone makes a fanfic and no one is in character
you can still make a good fanfic by keeping them in character
fan service isnt bad but sometimes the most un fan serviced characters are often the most appealing to me

THANK YOU!
One man AT A TIME! (Or lady) Unless you're hunting around! That works in all genres, as well as real life for goodness' sake.
It's just degrading when this is done to any character, male or female. (Can't STAND Ichigo harem stories from Bleach.)
And anyways, if we're being fully cannnon here, if Lenalee was being whored out Komui would come in screaming with an army of giant robots to turn all those males into pulp, Exorcist or otherwise.
Just sayin'.
Lovely stamp! Keep up the good work advocating for GOOD fanfiction!

Sorry, but my first reaction was "Oh, Wolfy hasn't done enough ranting yet, take coveeer~"
But on the serious mode, I very much agree. I just don't get it WHY people seem to like making female manga-characters act so... OOCishly wholelike. Hmm... maybe they're just jealous? (That's what my cute Evil-Lenalee told me, hahaha... ^^')
And even not being a big fan of Lenalee, I must say she is a very kind person on the inside. NOT someone who would act like a slut or whatever. Also she was freakin' cool when kicking the dark matter out of that Level 3. And Allen and all the others in the Black Order would be dead without her helping Allen beat the Level 4.
So, not a fan of Lenalee but I still don't hate her at all. She's just... too normal human for me to be able to relate to her as a character. But still I kind of like her sometimes.
And fanservice... uh, there are more nice ways to do fanservice aren't there? Without totally destroying the characters that doesn't even belong to us in the first place.

And I hope your messages aren't going out of control either? ^^'
Sora is... umm... cute and dangerous. Yeah, that kind of sums it up nicely. And she's got no idea of social rules so good luck with her DGM guys. (Be nice, Sparkly. Don't glomp Lavi.)
But I think she'd probably sparkle-attack anyone asking her to do some fanservice. (Even if she was a bit older. She's 12 in the beginning of the story actually. Too young to be in my fanfic. ...And too smart for her age.)
And really, people should use their own characters if they make stuff that's too much OOC... it's not the Hoshino's character anymore, just some OC looking like same.

Nope~!
Sparkly xD (Some people can be smart for their age )
And copyright, lol. At some point, the only thing that's left of the character is the looks. Even then some people change those

Rananieida In reply to ChikitaWolf [2011-07-05 21:10:09 +0000 UTC]
That's good then. I don't want your hand to break too.
Sparkly is smart. And very talkative when she first starts to talk at all... Her first little speach to Allen was quite out of place. The pentacle thingie. And Allen just smiled. ^^
By the way, now there is a new Sora-named OC in DA. And she even looks quite Sora-like... But it's okay, my Sora is too special to be totally copied anyway.

Is she a DGM OC? I've seen a Sora or two that weren't DGM OC's, but they were completely different from Sparkly Sora

I don't know... it didn't say is she in what fanfiction.
But she looked small and shy, had blond hair and too long sleeves to hide her hands so she could have been my Sora's more girlish little sister.

Maybe that's Road's long lost little sister then? Or someone who just adopted her fashion style...
True, the hair is different. My Sparkly-Sora has long soft octopus tentacle hair.
Which occasionally defies gravity.

And poor lenalee! Thats... about as far out of character as I can imagine, honestly. Well, unless she kicked down a door chomping on a cigar, called Alan 'sugar-tits', slapped someone on the ass, and demanded a beer before she started smacking heads.
...which actualy sounds more interesting then endless whoring.

Mla-wolf In reply to ??? [2011-07-05 16:54:14 +0000 UTC]
It's so hard to come across a nice little fluff instead of an all-out lemon. She'd never do that to begin with, and Komui would go on a freaking rampage. Besides, neither Allen nor Kanda would ever THINK about it, and I'm sure Lavi has an extreme enough respect of her not to. (I'm just saying those three 'cause they're the three main one's she's paired with, I'm sure there's way more.) It's bad enough they're doing that to Allen. >_>

I love your rant stamps! Now time for my rant -takes deep breath-
I hatehatehate when people make the main heroine seem weak or whoreish or anything horribly OOC! Just yesterday i was looking around for some nice Anzu fan art (Yu-gi-oh) and all I found were pretty much 98% of the fan art was of her being whorish! I wanted to just scream so badly. Then don't even get me started on Lenalee! She is a teenage girl for crying out loud! We all have our teary moments but after that we come back stronger then ever! Again like many have already said she'd kill anyone who tried anything with her. Not to mention Komui would have their head on a pedestal.
Point of this rant: GIRLS ARE NOT ALWAYS JUST WEAK AND/OR WHORISH! I bet most of the female heroines could kick all the guys a$$'s easily.

When I look at fanFictions, I see yaoi pairings, female hate, and girls getting their butts kicked because they're female and "OMG this characters female she's a Mary-Sue!I'm not even gonna bother trying to look at her! But oh, this guy's a total Gary-Stu! He's Hot!!!!"

sailorstar165 In reply to ??? [2011-07-05 13:34:26 +0000 UTC]
Part of the reasons people write her as the whore is because they think she does that behind her brother's back to either cause the brother's sister-complex or to get some breathing room from it. Honest, I don't see her doing any of that. Maybe kissing Allen or something... (AxL FTW)
Also, many people don't like Lenalee, so it might be their way of putting her "in her place." 9_9 Or the other female characters, but mostly Lenalee's the victim.

another great stamp and i like how you actually put evidence about what your stamp is about.
Im actually a fan of Lenalee (surprise to find one?) and if there's one thing i hate more than people making her OOC or a whore is when they bash her, she's a perfectly good character who is one of the few female characters that can fight for herself! (even when she's emotional, especially in the Ark arc where she had a reason to be 'useless')

(FINALLY! lol) Lenalee's teenage girl-- it's only natural for her to be an emotional wreck at certain times. Of course, the fans tend not to like that kind of a girl... well, the fanboys tend not to mind her, lol
