That's a cool list. I did know she spoke Spanish fluently, but I didn't know her parents were from Argentina. I like Alexis better than Kimberly. Not many people have that name.

Have y'all read the Buzzfeed post?

Honestly, Rory Gilmore Sucks

Alexis is a bit more special yes..

I knew about the spanish thing, that's why I liked the spanish bit in 6.02

Yep, me too. Perfect people do not exist. This is much more realistic.

I love Alexis

Wow. Someone really hates Rory. I don't hate her. I don't agree with some of her choices, but that doesn't cause me to hate her.

I thought the article was rather amusing though

I found that article amusing too. At least it's not over the top like the one where the author calls Rory a monster. I never understood the disproportionate amount of hate Rory gets though. Imo, there are always double standards in fandoms. Characters who appeal to the majority of the audience get free pass on pretty much everything, while the mistakes of the less popular characters are brought up over and over again.

Love that fact thing. I especially lol-ed at Alexis not liking coffee.

I totally know what you mean and for some reason I keep being drawn to the characters that aren't as popular and get OTT hate. The article calling her a monster was absolutely ridiculous.

I never really saw Rory get hate until the revival though. I mean people disliked certain things she did but now people just seem not to like the character as a whole

Really? I guess I never paid attention to it back then.

**Talula78** · 12-08-2016, 10:00 PM

I don't even want to read that if it's full of hate. I don't expect perfection from people in my life or characters in fiction, people are messy and it's those flaws which make them interesting & relatable to me. I love Rory, despite how messy her life gets with all the questionable choices she's made. She's a work in progress. Aren't we all?

Agreed. I've seen that kind of behavior in this fandom, in the Castle fandom and in fandoms from other shows I like and I just roll my eyes at all the double standards that exist.

I'm slightly interested in all different opinions so I'll read any article or review even if I disagree completely with it. It's just kind of a curious George thing.
