Everyone's a little bit racist, it's true. ♫

Do your characters have any (either outright or subconscious) prejudices? If yes, how do/does they/it affect him or her in daily life?

Tails is pretty open-minded, but he sometimes hesitates with robots since 98% of robots he comes across are bad pretty much (Gamma, Omega, and Emerl are the only robots in canon that aren't evil/don't work for Eggman that he's met).

Girls. Issei has always been afraid and suspicious of girls. He doesn't show this so much on the internet, where he has no excuse not to be polite, but he immediately assumes that any woman he meets is capable of ruining his life. It's a step up from 'capable and willing', which used to be his modus operandi. And despite this, he still is very, very cold to them in real life. He doesn't have much self-preservation.

Aerith tries to keep an open mind about everyone but...she will always be prejudice against scientists, especially ones working for Shinra.

Marie Antoinette comes with the prejudices of her day, and being the Dauphine of France, she naturally dislikes the English. She doesn't discriminate against the poor as much but I'm sure she's a bit racist (it's 1771 for her so..).

Setsuna is too old to be prejudiced, except against people who annoy her.

Mattie is open minded too and accepts everyone...but he always discriminates against Americans though he tries to help it. All Alfred's fault.

Eris hates everyone. 8|

Prussia hates Russians, is not racist per se (He goes along well with Sergei), he just hates Ivan.

Spain ad England had a long history together and is not nice. Like Prussia, he is not racist or have anything against English people, but Arthur made his life difficult for centuries and it's screwing his brother. He doesn't like that in the least. Plus-> Gibraltar.

Chase has prejudices in canon,apparently he despise fat people(God knows why) and alcoholics (because his mom was one).

Aoko is starting to develop a subconscious dislike for those people that has a crush/flirt with her boyfriend.

I think the rest of my chars are clear.

Denzel has two main ones.

Scientists and children.

Scientists because in his world, all the scientists refuse to accept magic, that is cleary present in his world. Also, because they basically ruined him as well.

Children, well since he's never sure which child has Fairy Godparents, well this one isn't hard is it?

They have what he wants to prove his theory on. It's just figuring out which
one has them.

And up till DDD, hasn't met a scientist who anknowlegdes the existance of magic.

Jorgen, anyone who isn't as buffed up and tall and powerful, basically it's a huge ego thing he doesn't think anyone can measure up.

I play Claire as very culturally retarded based on her interactions with Hiro Nakamura in Our Father. She's not racist, per say, but she's not very aware of other cultures. She lumps asian cultures together and has a lot of feelings on hispanic culture thanks to living in Odessa, which is very close to Texas' Mexican border.

She also assumes 90% of DDD is packed with nerds who play Runescape and WoW and live in their parents' basements and may even be her coworkers at Sam's Comics. She's pretty accepting of people and she really hates people who are homophobic as seen in S1 when she's bffs with Zach and Jackie is a bitch, buuuut she is still a cheerleader and is judgmental of nerdy people a little bit.

Oh God, where to start.

V, Italy, and Mag are pretty much free of any real prejudices.

Dumbledore used to be very prejudiced against Muggles because of what they did to his sister (and what that meant for his entire family). It got very intense during his brief romance with Grindelwald, but it wore away after Grindelwald's departure. Nowadays he's the leading proponent of all kinds of wizarding tolerance.

Bellatrix hates, among others: Muggles, Muggleborn wizards and witches, half-breeds (werewolves, centaurs), blood traitors.

Sirius is...anti-prejudice to the point of prejudice. He hates anybody who is in Slytherin (the pureblood house), especially Snape and his relatives (except maybe his brother, I have to think about that one).

Pegasus just thinks he's better than everybody. xD

Greed's sexist in the sense that he won't hit girls, but he's not an Emiya Shirou level "stay in the kitchen" type. He likes spunky, fighting type girls, he just can't bring himself to hit back.

He's also set pre 1920's, last awake during the late 1700s, so, even if he's pretty liberal I assume there are some latent traces of sexuality based prejudice. If you're gay, okay, cool, whatever, but if a guy makes a pass at him, he'll probably be weirded out even if he thinks he should be okay with it.

As for racism, he's not human himself and his company are a bunch of genetically altered freaks, so I think he's in the clear on that one.

[identity profile] tomakegodbleed.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Batou can be a callous jerk, but it's more a general reaction to being in a crapsack world, rather than any kind of prejudice. If he genuinely dislikes someone, it's almost always because they've done something he can't accept or stand for something he can't accept. Surface details like race and gender don't matter, and what your sex life is your own business. But he does have a somewhat major exception in the form of a deep-rooted suspicion of Americans that can turn to dislike fairly easily. For the reasons behind this, see season 1 episode 10, "A Perfect Day for a Jungle Cruise."

Robert is the product of a liberal education and the fairly modern era. Between that and exposure to Giselle's attitude, he's pretty free of prejudice. He can speak stupidly from a position of privilege sometimes, but if you call him out on it he'll correct himself and learn, and there's a chance he'll figure it out himself.

Tanyuu hasn't been exposed to all that much. But she's remarkably open-minded. As long as you're not deliberately destroying other living beings or something like that, she's fine with you, though she may ask inappropriate questions just because she's curious and doesn't know better.

Pam believes that all humans are created equal and prejudice will get you nowhere. Unless you're an idiot, in which case she has no patience for you.

Alberich is a Herald. I mean, Valdemar's motto is "there is no one true way," and he did a fairly good job at living by that even when he was in Karse. He's naturally very suspicious, but not prejudiced.

Maka has a hard time trusting males thanks to her father's behavior. While she gets along with plenty of them and is fairly close to quite a few, she can be quick to assume that they'll abandon or betray her. And the closer she feels to them, the stronger this fear is. And she's more likely to assume a guy is an idiot than a girl. She's also going to instantly assume that any witch is evil and destructive since 99% of the ones in her world are, but she'll try to find proof before she does anything against them.

Ivan automatically dislikes anyone in a position of serious power, because power means destroying people's lives. He does not trust anyone who expresses a strong belief in any ideology, because ideologies create situations that destroy people's lives. He has a lingering suspicion of the Western world, because when you grow up during the Cold War it's hard for some of that not to stick. He has a bit of chauvinism in that he doesn't really expect women to do as well or better than men, but he likes women who do, and he'd never actually say anything like "a woman can't do this." And in spite of the fact he's slowly turning into one himself, he doesn't like alcoholics, since his father really destroyed himself by becoming one.

Shelly's pretty much a homophobe, being old-fashioned as he is. Sure, he might try to act normally if you tell him you're gay, but he'll always be afraid that you're hitting on him somehow.

... I-It hurts me to play him like this sometimes, yeah. Luckily, that's his only prominent prejudice - in most cases, he tries to judge whoever he's speaking to as an individual.

... Oh, uh, traitors aren't really a race or a minority, but he hates those. Hateshateshates.

Scrooge can easily disregard you as lazy and useless if you show any signs of wanting to get some R&R. He also hates thieves (obviously), witches and dishonest businessmen. And although this is more fear than prejudice... He has had enough voodoo magic for at least two lifetimes. No more. PLEASE, no more.

Ohboy. /DEEP BREATH

Ten doesn't have all that many prejudices, but the ones he does have are usually pretty justified - the Daleks, for example. The other one which is slightly less justifiable is anything/one who is a temporal anomaly - like Jack, for instance. A lot of that is just pure Time Lord instinct - looking at temporal anomalies is hard for him because it's just wrong. He's got over that a little thanks to Jack, though. Other than that, Ten's too well-travelled and too old to have many prejudices at all.

Pearl, thanks to pretty much growing up with DDD these past few years, is pretty much prejudice-free. :|b She's still kind of naive so when she starts thinking deeper about things she might ask a few inappropriate questions or be all "O.O" about the technicalities of things, but she's... kind of at the point where she thinks that as long as no one's getting hurt, it's cool.

England. Aahahhahahahaa, England. At the minute he's prejudiced against Catholicism in general (he's okay with individual Catholics as long as they're chill, he just hates the Church itself :|;;;), and anyone on the far right wing of the political spectrum. Oh, and thanks to the war, Germany (and in part Germans in general) and vaguely also any of Germany's allies - he'll get over this one after the war's over. Then of course, Spain, Scotland... he's still got a bit of prejudice against America in that he expects him to act like an idiot. Oh also he will forever be prejudiced against France and the French. All other people in general he's chill with right now, though. :|b

Now, hands up anyone who was surprised that he's my most prejudiced character. :|

Lyle is suspicious of anyone who supports the Earth Sphere Federation on his world. Apart from that, though? Guy's so chilled that he's an ice cream. OH I ALMOST FORGOT he has this stupid prejudice at first against anyone who knows Neil, lmfao. Like... he automatically expects them to compare him unfavourably to Neil, so he gets his couldn't-care-less face on for them. He's an idiot like that, but it's his way of protecting himself while he gauges how they're going to treat him. If they're decent to him, then he lets it drop.

Junpei can be a little misogynistic sometimes, but that's just mostly him being a teenager. Like, he doesn't believe that girls can't do anything that guys can or anything and he's chill with whatever, but it'll still surprise him sometimes when a girl turns out to be tough, and he'll still instinctively protect a girl before he protects a guy. But at the same time, he kind of likes tough girls, lmao. They impress him. |D

Subconsciously, there's also a part of him that's slightly homophobic - like, he's fine intellectually with other people being that way and won't give people flak for it, and he won't consider that something that'd stop him being friends with you or anything. But he'd freak out majorly if another guy hit on him, and be a little tiny bit weirded out if there was gay PDA in front of him.

... he's a teenager, okay.

Roxas is too much of a derp and doesn't know enough to really be prejudiced, lmao.

Sam is prejudiced against those with prejudice, rofl. He's also prejudiced somewhat against Christianity purely on principle. More personally, he's heavily prejudiced against his father, most of the rest of his family (especially Jehovah and Thor) and anyone who's erring dangerously close to righteous.

Phoenix: You know, as much as I'd like to say he's free of prejudice, I don't think that's the case. Although it's largely subconscious, he's sexist in the sense that he feels men should be left to doing more laborious work, because it makes more sense to him. While he'd never deny a woman her right to choose what she does with her life, he might raise an eyebrow at a woman in a profession that's typically male-dominated (say, construction work or some other labor-type job); he'd never say anything, of course. Like I noted, it's largely subconscious. If someone ever pointed it out to him, he'd probably feel badly and try to change it, but it'd be difficult to break that sort of conditioning.

In addition, he feels women should also be treated with more respect and handled more carefully than men, because they're more 'sensitive' about certain issues--like gender roles, for instance. :|

As far as conscious prejudices go, he's noticeably judgmental of people who have criminal histories, though a lot of that has been tempered by the friends he's made on the community (Maraich o9 Tyki o9), much to his... confusion. He really isn't sure if that's a good thing, considering his line of work.

Devit: As I've mentioned a few times, he's extremely chauvinistic. He has little interest in women, viewing them as the weaker gender and using them strictly to exploit the weaknesses of other men (like using Lenalee as bait for Allen and Anita as bait for Cross, for example). As far as he's concerned, they're tools. Some of that thinking is the product of the times--he is from the late 19th century, after all--but most of it stems from his own insecurities. Whether he admits it or not, he wants to be seen favorably in the eyes of others, specifically in the eyes of other males, because they're the dominant, more important gender whose opinions actually count. As far as he's concerned, women are useless, aside from looking pretty and doing girly things. (Never mind the fact that he likes to look pretty and does a few girly things himself, but that's a whole other kettle of fish.)

He also has a strong prejudice against 'monsters', or people who are abnormal or grotesquely different in some way. Once again, this prejudice comes from his own issues of being a monster himself. Being unnecessarily cruel to people who are different is his way of making himself feel better.

Also, he basically makes himself hate everybody for some reason or another to keep himself from getting hurt. Baaw. :|b

Tyki: Whoo, boy. Tyki seems like he's a really open and accepting person on the surface, but he's a mass of prejudices in reality. He does know that it's possible for individual women to be kickass, because he's had that forcibly shown to him in his life. However, he considers women as a group to be delicate and fragile and less intelligent than men. A lot of this is because of his 19th century upbringing, like Devit. He treats women entirely different from men upon first meeting, as you may have noticed, and his time on the community has only taught him not to actually voice his sexism openly, rather than actually changing his mind.

He's also openly prejudiced against anyone of a religious or moralistic bent. He'll assume priest characters, particularly Christian ones, are stuffy, chaste and likely to hate him, so he has a bit of a defensive reaction. His reaction does tend to be to torment them and try to corrupt them, and occasionally they surprise him by being more fun than he expects at the outset. He can rarely become true friends with a priest character, even if they come to accept him, and will always push and tease them a bit harder than other people.

Overall, Tyki is prejudiced against people who aren't like him. He has a hard time accepting that people may be happy and fulfilled living their lives in a totally different way from his own fun-loving and independent way.

Shito: Shito basically lumps everyone in together as potentially fail. He is pretty equal opportunity that way. Men, particularly adult, attractive, strong men are triggers for him, and he's even more distrustful of them over women or teenagers.

There is some major, but subconscious, sexism and racefail in the back of his mind, also. He was also born in the 19th century and thinks of women as the weaker sex, not fighters and something to be protected - also likely quite useless as a result. Finally, he is Chinese and does buy into a bit of the insular xenophobia of that country, dismissive of Western culture and even the Japanese culture he's currently immersed in. Chinese culture is the ideal, the right way, and other ways are inferior in ways he likely wouldn't bother to discuss or debate.

Stein: Stein isn't really plagued by most of the usual sexism and racism that's common in American culture, though I'm sure he has some of the subtler stereotypes ingrained within his subconscious that we all have. He knows women can fight just as well as men, for example, and he shows no sign of prejudice against any of the non-white people in the show. The main group he's prejudiced against is witches, who are actually a different race in his show. He'll tend to perk up and look with suspicion upon anyone on the community who claims to be a witch or to use magic.

Gale: Gale has no concept of race and no clue that there should be a difference between the way men and women are treated. He's probably as equal opportunity and free of -isms as it comes. I honestly can't think of any, though he doesn't really know what to do with civilians and people who are different from himself. He doesn't think they're inferior than him. If he's prejudiced against anyone, it's people who are unintelligent, lol.

Tseng: Tseng does have a bit of sexist fail that he fights very hard against. He tries consciously not to allow it to affect the way he acts, but I believe he coddles Elena a bit more than he should because she's a woman, compared to the other Turks. It's subtle, though.

As a Wutaian who grew up in Midgar during the war with Wutai, Tseng was subjected to a lot of racial prejudice and hatred directed against himself. He feels a strong disconnect from his own race, because as an employee of ShinRa he positioned himself as their enemy, so there are a lot of terrible guilty feelings surrounding his own race and the standard Caucasian race that makes up most of the rest of his world. He tries to integrate, melting-pot style, but in small ways he sets himself apart also, keeping some of the traditions and aesthetic of his people in his private life. I'd say that he feels resentment and hatred towards non-Wutaians as a group because of the prejudice he suffers, but not against individuals like Rufus, the Turks, or Zack. And he would deny that he feels such things to his grave.




Ahhhh, I'm tired, lol. I'll come back and do more later.
