We've all stumbled across one at some time or another. Mission: KILL Xelloss, Project: Kill Amelia (hmm, anyone see a pattern here? ^_^), those kind of sites. Usually filled with obscene pictures of the hated character being killed in brutal ways and long lists of the character's every flaw, it's something Slayers fans have varied opinions about. Some people can't stand them, other's just don't take them seriously and have fun.
   People have every right to make a hate shrine. That's what free speech is. They're just people giving their opinions an a certain matter that's important to them.
   Okay, I can hear all you saying, Right Momoko, aren't you supposed to be against character bashing? Since when have you been into hate shrines? I don't totally agree with hate shrines, but I do respect the opinions of others. But that doesn't mean I have to like them. If spending your time focusing on a character you hate to make a shrine is your thing then yay for you.
   The problem with the hate shrines I've seen is that I just can't take them seriously. Their reasons are so pathetic sometimes (like "Ameria sux cause she likes justice!") and the pages are filled with badly edited images of the character dying in horrible ways. Those pages just seem so immature, like a child made them. Most people who are into hate shrines say that they're doing it just for fun, don't take them seriously, where's your sense of humor, yada yada. But...hating someone for fun? Killing someone because it's funny? Righhht, just kinda...stay away from me, okay? O_o;;
   Which explains what PSA is all about. We are trying to get people to share their ideas and opinions, but fer God's sake, make sure they're intelligent and thought out. No one's going to take you seriously otherwise. Hate shrines these days are pointless and tasteless; no one says you have to like every character, but can't you find other ways to share your opinions?
