I am not a Death Eater

Description

Title refers to the trope "Ron the Death Eater", wherein heroes are twisted into diabolical bastards for whatever "reasons" the author sees fit. This is very relevant.

Let's talk about Ranay. Both of her dA accounts are closed, though there's a blog dedicated to archiving her works/making fun of her: [link]

I'm not trying to hate on the artist. The thing is...Ranay the character is one of the most blatant MM Sues I've ever seen. All the Robot Masters (or at least Set 3) love/like her, she's half-human, half-robot for no apparent reason other than specialness, she can apparently bend reality to her will (would certainly explain the Set 3 bit), she becomes more powerful/convoluted as time goes on, and she hates Megaman with all her being (among other things)

That last one doesn't sound too unusual, considering she's allied with Wily, right? Well, see, she hates him in a way that makes it clear SHE'S right and he's wrong; poor MM got twisted into/reduced to an evil assassin of robots (especially of Topman, with whom Ranay is paired).

Oh, and Set 3? Squeaky-clean good guys who never did anything to deserve Mega's wrath. (At least Needleshota is cute...)

Despite calling Megaman a murderer several times (or at least implying it after that one time she called him that), she's pals with Roll. Presumably, she only got off the hook because the only times she defeats Wily's poor, innocent robots are either non-canon or took place in other continuities (yes, there's a difference).


The pic itself: In RADIX-Land, one does not call Megaman a murderer and get away with it. De-Suified, fully-robot Ranay tried that and it now receiving the beginning of a reality check.

Didn't want this to seem like a hate pic, so I added that bit at the bottom. Getting yelled at once isn't likely to convince her, but perhaps in time, she'd realize that morality has shades of gray.

Also, Mega's face took a while to get right. x.x
