I don't like it when I go in search of information about something (in this case, the Kyo Kara Maoh! Hajimari no Tabi game and novel spoilers) and find character bashing instead. >:0

Case in point, on [livejournal.com profile] kkm_wolframfans, there's an entry where the mod asks for favorite pairings involving Wolfram, and someone mentioned Conrad/Wolfram. Then the mod said, "You know, there was a third place that I didn't put in my chart and it was ConWolf before Julia and Yuuri came. But in the end, it's just that I don't think Conrad deserves Wolfram..."

I can't even begin to say how much that angers me. Perhaps I don't know very much about the novels, but who is the one that turns his back on his brother? Who is the one that belittled him at every turn for years (and still does, a little, by the end of the anime?) Who is the one that can't trust his brother with the king because of his own jealous insecurities, despite the fact that there has never been any reason for him to distrust his brother (other than two incidences [that we know of] in their entire life together: when Conrad neglected to tell Wolfram he was half-human [to preserve the status quo of their close relationship] and when he betrayed Yuuri on Shinou's orders?)

Conrad isn't perfect, but neither is Wolfram. And Conrad's sins aren't worse than Wolfram's because he's Conrad.

Dude, that makes me unhappy.

Why are people so... lame?

Yeah.

I didn't see the actual post that was written, because the entire thing happened while I was sleeping (;_;) but it caused a lot of Conrad fans to go on the defensive, and the person who wrote it deleted it and offered a half-assed apology.

I only recently discovered what the entire thing was about.

The thing is, Conrad isn't a rapist, and there's absolutely no evidence to prove the claim. It's completely unfounded in every possible way.
