'''For all those who think Asami is too perfect, please read one of my former posts. Copy and paste:'''

"I see people still don't let canon get in the way. So I wonder how a character like Asami can be inspired by a character like Lust, and by the same people who noticed that, be called too perfect. Lust was anything but perfect. Although to be fair, Asami has wound up being a completely different character. That is a good thing, by the way. (It means she is her own unique character, and not a clone of someone else's.)

''No one is perfect, including Asami. I know everyone has their own opinions and all, but the misplaced notion that Asami hasn't revealed any flaws is rather ignorant. And I'm not saying this to be mean, but every character has presented some sort of flaw (if that is what you guys are looking for) and has done so more than once. And for people who are so interested in finding flaws in a character like Asami, they ironically miss quite a few of them. For example, when Asami decided to wreck the other driver on the race course just to get ahead and finish before him. That is NOT what anyone should be calling "too perfect."''

''This will be the only example I give as I don't want to get into a huge discussion about what flaws she may or may not have. But, those flaws are there if you actually open your eyes and look. Now I personally don't believe it is healthy or a good idea to always look for the worst (even if it is only in a fictional character) in others, especially if you aren't going to notice it in the first place. I also don't believe it is warranted to want someone to turn evil (or at least to the antagonistic side) just so she can no longer be thought of as "too perfect" in the minds of the people who didn't notice her real flaws in the first place."''

Now I find it strange that the same people who think Asami is Mary Sue's twin sister (evil twin apparently) criticize her so much. I have never seen a character that was supposedly this perfect receive so much criticism. If she was really that perfect, what would there be to criticize in the first place? And why would anyone think she was anything but good unless she has some flaws? Since when was Mary Sue a traitor/evil/whatever the heck you want to define it as? That would defeat the entire point of a Mary Sue in the first place! How can a character that is supposedly so perfect be thought of as so suspicious no matter what that character actually does or doesn't do? And why would such a perfect character be thought of as evil/an Equalist/etc. by all these people? It doesn't make any sense.

Ironically, those looking for flaws in Asami tend not to notice the one's that actually exist. They see her as too perfect, so they look for something that proves she isn't perfect. And I know this because some of the people doing this even told me such. When they don't find it they try to make something up that may happen (like a theory about Asami being an Equalist was a popular one) instead, while at the same time missing things like the car wreck example I gave in my quoted former comment. Even many of the people defending Asami haven't seen the obvious flaws, which for the life of me I can't understand. I mean I thought they were as clear as day, and I feel like the only one who doesn't go looking for them. Does anyone actually pay attention? I mean at first when she didn't have much screen time they might have missed a couple of them. I'll give you all a pass on that. But now after all the screen time to still be missing the flaws they are searching for so intently? I don't see how it is even possible to miss them all anymore.

The bottom line is that Asami is not perfect. She has exhibited her share of flaws just as any other major character has. I don't understand why no one seems to notice them, especially the ones looking for her flaws so she won't be too perfect. No one is perfect, including Asami. Those flaws are there if you open your eyes to them. So no one should be saying the misconception that Asami is too perfect, because she's not. No one is.

well.
