Poor Kikyou Voodoo?

Description
This is in response to Angeladorable, and to others who are going to leave me a 50 line post defending Kikyou.
People like what they like and dislike what they dislike, and they have the right to express their opinions if they choose to. That's why I can say I don't like the president, I don't support him, and I think he should be tossed out of the white house- and not get arrested.
I understand the NEED for Kikyou's presence in the story line and for character development, but beyond that I don't like what she represents. I won't bother saying what she represents to me because there are 1,000 different ways to interpret a character in a story, and all can be correct, but most people are going to fervently aruge when they're over identifying on a personal level with a fictional character. I know, I've been there before.
So I poked fun- I drew something that I could see Kikyou resorting to doing. It was just something that the people who don't like kikyou could giggle at together. That's IT. A lot of people do so much worse, so much, much worse. To her, and beyond Inuyasha: making racial 'jokes' that are really horrible slanders in disguise, and etc. And SO WHAT if people call Kikyou names and say she should die? That shouldn't upset you. 1) She's already DEAD- she doesn't have a soul because it's reincarnated in Kagome- she's a walking, talking personality. And the two according to Shinto are not the same thing. The personality is only the mask of the soul through each lifetime. (I remember that, reading an essay that covered this subject... I'll have to find it again to make absolute sure). 2)Why take it so personally? I don't understand that. If someone trashed Kagome, that wouldn't bother me. I like Kagome a lot, but beyond a playful debate with someone, someone calling Kagome a this and that, really doesn't affect me. I don't take it personally for the character. They don't know what's going on, afterall, they're paper and ink.

I like Kagome better than Kikyo and I think that Kag and Inu should be the ones who end up together for the fact that Inu lead Kagome on when he thought Kikyo was dead and gave her love for him and he just abandons Kag everytime she comes along.....I don't HATE Kikyo, I just think Kagome deserves him more.....nice pic too ^_^

i had a doll like that once, but it was pure evil, (just like the character) so i burned it, (yes this was a true story), anywayz kikyou fans listen up, now i know this may be hard to hear and ur brain might not be able to comprehend wat im bout 2 tell u, but KIKYOU IS frackIN DEAD!!! she died 50 years prior 2 kagome's arrival. and personally i dun jus hate kikyou jus cuz i think inu belongs with kag. she is an evil, soul addicted, existentialistic, obsessed w/ falling of cliffs, pyromaniac. AWSUM PIC, IT ROX AND SO DO U!!! n 2 all kikyou luvers, go ahead and luv her, and preach to pple how doing this stuff is wrong, but u kno wat, pple will NOT listen, they dun care! so if u like her, then dun look at these pics! cannn-uuuu-unnnderrr-staaaannnd??? good. awsum pic!

ALSO like kagome9234 said u can call her a B#$#$# u can wish death upon her but come on its up to the creater to do what she does and she wouldnt keep kikyo dead if u buy magazines it says"kikyo a dead prestest who has been resurected by a witch named urasuway is now only liveing off of hatred(hatred 4 love )she has found inuyasha but instead of killing him she couldnt she loves him and inuyasha loves her and she finds out that naraku is 1 to blame
" then a whole bunch more then it says"kikyo will she ever become human again when inuyasha and the gang finaly get the last shard inuyasha plans to bcome a full-fledged demon or will he have a change of heart and use it to bring kikyo back?" and i u dont believe me get a new type magazing with inuyasha on the cover nice pic non the less KIKYO ROCKS
