That's what you think this boils down to? I just "really like Nex?" If that were all there was to it, I wouldn't care. People don't have to like the same characters I like, and I don't have to like the same characters they like. How do I explain this? I hate hype. When I think something is overvalued and overrated, it annoys me. Conversely, when I think something is undervalued and misunderstood, I become more attached to it. That goes for anything: movies, shows, books, video games, and in this case, characters. Think of it as "rooting for the underdog." I feel like Nex is an undervalued and misunderstood character. What the fanbase thinks about his personality and behavior is literally the opposite of what Rainbow intended for his character. I know this happens in fandoms sometimes, but how did it happen this time? Did Rainbow introduce him badly? Did they mean for this to happen? It's like a mystery, and mysteries energize me. I'm like Tecna. When something makes no sense to me, I have to analyze it. It's like trying to solve a puzzle. Almost everything about how the fanbase treats Nex is illogical to me. I know I can't force anyone to change their minds about him, but I'm still gonna present a different viewpoint about him. I've basically become the Winx blogger who tends to think differently than everyone else. I don't know why that is, but I've noticed it more and more lately. And no, it's not something I'm doing on purpose to "stand out." Maybe this all sounds silly, but that's how I am. There's more to it than that, of course, but I'm not gonna get too deep right now. But it's not as shallow as, "Everyone hates this character, but I like him." Like I said, if that were it, I wouldn't care.
