She was honestly an asshole
People love assholes.
>>144636947>She was honestly an assholeBecause she was frank, honest, and authenticAnd character development kicked in and she got just a tiny bit nicer
>>144636947Because she could dance The Swim, and look good doing it.>La la la la la...
>>144636960She was sparky at people even when they weren't nasty to her. She acted like she was better than everyoje
>>144636958I don't. Scared?
>>144636947She was a spinoff of Beavis and Butt-Head.And the only character with common sense on the show, becoming the fan favorite.So spinning her off to her own show was inevitable.
>>144637809I meant in her own show, not on Beavis and Butthead
>>144637017>She was sparky at people even when they weren't nasty to hershe was sardonic at worst, she was only truly biting to actual jerks>She acted like she was better than everyojeshe was mostly venting her frustration at a society that didnt value intellectualismthis isnt always portrayed as a good thing but it is quite understandable
>>144637875She was a judgemental asshole. Even her parents called her out on it>I have low self esteem for everyone else
>>144638510>being sarcastic makes her judgementalShe was telling that because helen was up in arms, her dad was clueless, and quinn was being a jerk herselfAnd because she thought the whole self-esteem test was a load of hooey to begin with, and proven right not long after when mr o neil is the one in charge of her special classHer sarcasm is a means of coping with teenage life
>>144636947the whole point of the series is that she and most of the other main characters grow as peopleshe becomes less cynical, quinn becomes less selfish, even brittany and kevin get character arcs
>>144636947>Why was she so beloved Because millennials are also "i'm so much smarter than everyone" cynical, moronic assholes like her
>>144636947Yes. It was funny.
Idk, she was kinda like the cartoon Amy Lee: unsexy yet strangely still alluring in almost every other way.
Everyone is an asshole at that age. You grow out of it, hopefully.
>>144639225>>144639338It's just bullshit because there's a character I like from a book that's kind of similar to Daria, but she really only snacks when people are nasty to her, yet all the reviews I read of the book call her whiny and annoying who thinks she's better than everyone. Yet Daria gets a free pass?
>>144639465The reviews on the book and the opinions on Daria were written by different people, I think.
>>144639498I saw someone on LiveJournal sporking the book I was referring to with the same complaints about the MC, yet praising Daria in it despite the latter coming off as worse imo
excuse me
>>144639507What the fuck are you doing reading LiveJournal in the year of our lord 2024?
>>144636947She's just a typical, tunnel visioned, selfish teenager. She's not 25, her frontal cortex hasn't matured yet, she has trouble seeing beyond herself, and being able to think ahead about how her actions will affect others. Half of the show's plot points are about her accidentally hurting other people.
>>144636947because those people didn't understand that they weren't supposed to idolize her.
>>144639656Because I enjoy getting angry on the internet like Peter Parker
