Why Certain Fictional Characters Deserve Less Admiration
The Flawed Gods and Their Devotions
It's a tie between all gods that are currently worshipped around the world. Unless your personal bullshit detector is 100% faulty, you already know that magic is not real. And if magic doesn't exist, then a super magical wizard cannot either. Consequently, the same logic applies to all deities, supernatural beings, phenomena, and concepts that are associated with or dependent on magic. Therefore, everything that relies on magic — including gods, demons, angels, miracles, sorcery, necromancy, voodoo, conjuring, spellcasting, and juju — is not real.When magic doesn't exist, a super-sorcerous wizard, for instance, doesn't exist either!
The Abrahamic God Debate
There are countless other superstitions, and the Abrahamic god, who is central to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is no exception. He, along with all other gods and associated supernatural beings, falls into the same category of superstition. This is a broad and comprehensive stance, and it's all we have to discuss for now.However, it's crucial to understand that gods don't exist, nor do any of the associated supernatural beings, forces, phenomena, and concepts. This understanding is essential for separating these characters from reality and examining them in the context of their fictional worlds.
Carrie Bradshaw: Fashion Icon or Flawed Character?
Carrie Bradshaw, a beloved character from the television show 'Sex and the City,' has become a role model for many women. While her loyalty to her friends is admirable, Carrie's character is far from perfect. She is often viewed as competition by other women, as she treats Natasha and the waitress Aidan works with poorly. Her character also showcases numerous flaws, including smoking, underemployment, and a lack of self-care.Carrie struggles with basic life skills, such as cooking, backing up her hard drive, and managing her work schedule. She is financially irresponsible, buying expensive clothes and shoes but unable to pay for her apartment. Over the course of the show, we see her repeatedly settling for a man who mistreats her — Big, a serial womanizer, and eventually, she breaks the heart of the one man who truly loves her, Aidan.
Peter Griffin: The Chesire Cat of Family Guy
Peter Griffin, from the animated series 'Family Guy,' has gained widespread love despite his numerous flaws. He is an extremely unhealthy character, often drunk, appearing to be intellectually impaired, and abusive to his daughter. His spouse, Lois, might as well be characterized as equally flawed, marrying someone who treats her poorly. Peter's extreme behavior and actions make him an interesting subject for analysis in terms of his role in the show and the average viewer's perception of him as a character.Despite the show's humor and entertainment value, it's essential to recognize and discuss the flaws in characters like Peter, to better understand the complex nature of representation in media and its impact on audiences.
