ROUND 1 — Match 122 of 138

Claude Frollo (The Hunchbank of Notre Dame)

Problematic because: "Frollo is primarily problematic because of his treatment towards Esmeralda. He develops a strong sexual obsession with her, despite her being a teenager (and a Romani teenager at that) and he also feels superior to her because he is also very racist. Throughout the novel he stalks, harasses, and even tries to rape Esmeralda. He refuses to see her as a person and just decides that because he thinks she's sexually promiscuous, that it's his job to "save her" by making her his wife." Propaganda: "Frollo is a compelling character because he is constantly in battle within himself, torn between what he wants and his rigid religious values. He lost his parents to the plague when he was young, and even before that, they offered him no love. They left him to raise his baby brother, Jehan, and he spoiled him into absolute hedonism, because he thought that was love. He stalks and lusts after a teenage girl who feels is beneath him, because he thinks that's love too. Frollo also is given some weirdly comedic lines with Pierre Gringore that always makes me laugh. The closest to love he gets in this novel is with his adoptive son, Quasimodo, as he did save him from death, but even then he still doesn't treat Quasimodo with dignity."

vs. Daisy Tonner (The Magnus Archives)

Problematic because: "Cop. Okay but seriously, she was a really violent and corrupt police officer who used her position to hurt civilians. She had a kill spot in the woods. Everyone in the police department knew about it; she was just allowed to murder people with impunity as long as it was part of the case." Propaganda: 1. "I know her redemption arc in season 4 was a little controversial, but I personally think it was masterfully done. *SPOILERS* She basically went through a kind of supernatural murder detox and realized that she was a terrible person, and spent the entire season working with the protagonist to better herself, even though it was literally killing her. And then at the end of the season even though she was half dead and had made so much progress and come to terms with her mortality she sacrificed herself and submitted to a fate worse than death to protect her friends!!!! I love her so much!!!!" 2. "even back when she was in her Cop Era, she would just go around telling people 'oh boy I'd really like to do some police brutality today! I sure hope I find a guy I can beat to death!! :D' idk I just appreciate the honesty. most cops aren't honest like that" 3. "There's exploration of cycles of violence that lead to violence as a compulsion, and the trope of monster hunters being monsters themselves. We can observe her trying to repent and try to build a new sense of self. Canonically a fan of a dumb soap opera. Also, as close in-universe as it gets to a werewolf."

Congratulations on your new loving, extremely loud mom
