I also firmly believe there's some serious Halo Effect going on here. I wonder if Cloud's girlfriends would be queuing up to defend him if he wasn't a blonde bishounen and instead looked like....say....Moe Szyslak?
I support/ defend Queen Brahne from FF9 and she's not exactly fanservice material, so I say yes, yes I would.
I don't think you've really lost anybody close to you in RL, otherwise you wouldn't be so cold. He's not 'attention seeking because he's ronery ". Hell, a weird creepy sciencest who looks like a pedophile experimented him for six years of his life. Imagine missing out on your high school life, hanging out with friends and family, missing out on your prom, and every single day being torture, and then you come out six years later completely brainfucked, and then the first thing you remember is seeing your ONLY friend, being shot several times and dead. Then the person who killed your mother and burned down your hometown, is now mindfucking with your head, and then wants you to kill a innocent girl, and then you watch a innocent girl die, be stabbed right in front of you, and it's all your fault because your too frighted of the person who is mindfucking with your head to move in time.
Then two years later, you realize that because of you, because you weren't strong enough, two people that you were close too are now dead, and also it's your fault that the meteor came to the planet and you almost destoryed the whole world and everybody in it, because of Sephiroth, and your entire life has been complete and utter shit.
But no, everybody prefers the anime shonen rip-off Zack, because he's good at everything he does, act like he's a friggen child, and has no problems, and is completely unrealistic. And even though he has a girlfriend, he hits on another red-headed chick, and others. But it's okay, because he's HAAAPY, and not depressed, or 'emo' and hasn't suffered in his life, so it's okay.
No, no, no Cloud is just a attention seeker, because everybody close to him is dead, oh poor baby. He only saw his best friends got slaughted, I wish he would toughen the fuck up. / sarcasm.
