I always enjoy seeing comments that clearly demonstrate sarcasm despite straight speech-text writing being a horrible medium for properly conveying such nuances.

But hey, some people collect stamps, others enjoy retrospectively over-analyzing minor plot and character-motivation inconsistencies introduced when anime adaptions veer from the source material.

It may seem like a stupid waste of time, but after a decade+ of studying/researching social psychology, you're usually either abnormally obsessed with the intricacies at the root of human interactional behavior, or a Lalatina-level masochist. You can't help but analyze it, even in fiction.

... and I did get my PhD in the field (well, social psychology, not anime character nit-picking), so that could actually kinda-sorta be interpreted as making me an expert in character nit-picking? Ok, so even I know that's BS, but...

It definitely did make me an expert at writing massive Walls of Text on incredibly narrow-focused subjects that most people wouldn't willingly spend a moment's thought on, though.

...And it's not like there's a more fitting place in the world to post on the subject than the character's page on a wiki dedicated to the franchise. I mean, with all the comments on her breast pads and breast-size ranking, having a single one instead focusing on the character's potentially different motivations for said pads between media formats, possibly due to the often limited communication between the original author and the anime staff forcing the staff to come up with their own conclusions, isn't really that it out of place.

Anyway, like I said, I tend to auto-generate walls of text on obscure subjects simply by existing, and currently having a high fever may have contributed to this particular one.
