Why is it that whenever characters are emo for legitimate reasons (i.e. Hope losing his mother), they are looked at as whiney pussies like as if though the loss of a loved one should happen to you every day, and yet emos like Edward Cullen get off free?
Um ... isnt that obvious ?
Twilight stuff is viewed by a certain kind of audience that EXPECTS and ENJOYS emo stuff. Think preteen and early teen girls.
I dont ever complain about Edward Cullen because the only way you could get me to watch Twilight in the first place would be at gunpoint.
And yes, Hope is a child, being emo after losing his mother is completely justified. But it still gets on peoples nerves.
Its the same in the real world. People who have depressions will have them for a LONG time. The usual tactics of people, cheer them up and all is well, wont work there. Thats why people lose their patience. Pretty quickly, actually.
Its the same for example with Imoen in Baldurs Gate 2. She was captured by a madman and tortured for months and some part of her soul was stolen, too. If that isnt enough reason to get whiney then what the frak isnt. But guess what, people made looooooooooong threads to complain about it.
