Welcome to Gaia! ::

I suppose... it's not really Kairi herself that really drives me up the wall, though she has that personality that I just can't stand. stare Anyways, what I don't like is so many people saying 'OMG Sora and Riku aren't gay cuz Kairi's there!'

Just 'cause a woman has boobs and wears short pink dresses doesn't mean everyone loves them. There are no real cannon pairings, so SoKai or RiKai ISN'T REAL.

Sorry about the rant-like quality... Just had to get that out of me.

I acutally like Kairi. But I know why most people hate Kari:

Hayden Panettiere's voice is not JUSTICE.

I. Effin. Hate. Her. Voice. If they had gotten a different girl to play Kairi, Kairi would have a lot more fans. Her voice is, first of all, too high. She also doesn't sound near as stressed as a girl who has been through all that ought too.

Just my opinion. But there would still be fangirls who hate Kairi no matter how amaing a girl they got for her just because she "gets in the way of Riku and Sora", even though it's perfectly legit for same-sex couples to have friends of the opposite sex... stare

You're also right about getting in trouble for making Sora blatantly gay, although the games can be seen as an analogy for Sora's rejection (KH1) and finally acceptance (KH2) of his own bisexuality, which makes Kairi really important. I think. PM me if you want me to try and explain it.

She just annoys me because of the facts:

Her voice is very irritating after playing the game a while.
She a Mary-Sue, or a perfect girl character.
She isn't a Keyblade Master, and she gets a keyblade--that ticked me off big time. (it's the prettiest-looking keyblade... crying )
She reminds me of a girl I really don't care for in my life. >.<'

That's about it.

I think that the soul reason why Kairi was put in the game in the first place was to simply make the whole Sora-Riku thing innocent.

I work for Disney so I know a lot about these sort of schemes.

Okay, we can all tell that Sora REALLY has a thing for Riku. However, both Disney and Square Enix want to keep a good image, so they stick a girl in it and fix the story line so that it would be that both Riku and Sora are wanting Kairi. This would give the "Good Boy" "Good Girl" straight image that gives parents the security of allowing their children to play the game with out any fear of encouraging same sex couples.



Now in KHII, Kairi is all but (though really was) forgotten, because Sora is so fixated on finding Riku. AGAIN, if Disney or Square Enix were to explain this, it would be because Sora knows that Kairi is safe on the Islands so he doesn't have to worry about her and he promised he'll come back with Riku.

Now, picture the scene when Sora finally sees Kairi. Kairi goes for him in a hug. I'll admit, it was a very sweet scene (then again, I'm straight with a yaoi fettish, so it works both ways for me). Sora looks awkwardly suprised by this action, but not wanting to hurt her feelings, hugs her back. Now use this in comparison when he is reunited with Riku. Sora holds his hand, falls to his knees, and starts saying how much he was looking for him in tears. Innocent? I don't think so. And in the ending scene, it was the combination of Sora and Riku's hearts, not Sora and Kairi's, that defeated Xemnas and find their way home.

This gives the subliminal message (that only we fan girls/guys can seem to see) that Riku is meant to be with Sora, not Sora to be with Kairi. If it was to be Sora and Kairi, Riku would've been made a more of a minor character, and gave Kairi more importance instead of just finding her and taking her home. I think that Sora tried much harder to find Riku than he did Kairi.

WHEW! That was a lot. sweatdrop Sorry for the uber long post. If anyone wants to go into this in more detail, feel free to PM me. In another guild I'm the Head of Intelligence for KH, so I can give you any and all info you need. ^_^

Many people dont want her in the way of riku (or if its a fangirl, its themselves)

Im a sora lover but I honestly dont mind kairi. Shes quite cute smile

well personally I'm not a kairi basher, but this is a yaoi guild and I guess if nobody has anything better to do than yeah, there's gonna be some girl (not just kairi) bashing.

got nothing against her. And if she wouldn't have been there in the ending scene of KH2 it wouldn't have been so sweet. However she DO have a thing for running away and getting herself in trouble.
