Random Thoughts...
You know, I've noticed that a lot of Daisuke yaoi fans hate Kari. I suppose it makes sense, considering he has a crush on her. And she's human enough to have flaws - most of which have been gleefully pointed out and picked apart.
I can't tell you how many Kari-haters point to the movie where she says that line about "making Davis jealous", with their eyes bugging out, and say 'See? SEE?'
So I think it's kind of amusing that in the original, it was Takeru who said "This should really make Daisuke jealous." Hikari didn't say anything of the sort.
Not very many people are likely to use that as fuel for their hatred of Takeru, though... After all, *Takeru* is a likable character. (I mean this seriously, too - I love Takeru)
Yaoi fans tend to have this hatred of females - especially females standing in the way of their yaoi. I'm not any less guilty of this than any others. I dislike a HELL of a lot of anime girls, and I'd be lying if I said that, for some of them, their interference with my yaoi had no part in that.
And hey, it's my right. I can dislike whatever characters I choose.
Kari is one of the few I like. Obviously, she's got flaws - she's a big hypocrite, for one. And she comes off as holier-than-thou a LOT of the time. But generally, she's not too bad. And if she had no flaws whatsoever... well... then she'd be a Mary-Sue type, wouldn't she?
But yaoi fandoms, for the most part, tend to be mostly made up of fangirls. And we're much harsher on anime females than we are on anime males. A bishounen needs to prove himself a jerk before we label him that. A bishoujo, on the other hand, has to prove herself *worthy* before we decide she's not on the black list.
It just doesn't seem fair, somehow...
I had a point in there somewhere in the middle of all that rambling, but I don't remember what it was... If anyone else has a clue, want to let me in on it?

It works both ways, though, too. Girls can cry - because they're girls. If guys cry, they get razzed on. Then again... that's because they're acting like girls...
Sometimes I wonder... Is sleeping with a lot of people so bad for girls because it means they're acting like guys?
Hah! Yeah... sure...
