I'm starting to think that if you relate strongly to either Kikyō or Kagome, sooner or later you'll end up framing the other in the wrong way. If you escaped that fate it's just because you never joined the fandom, that is to say you never felt the need to defend your fave from unfair and myopic perceptions, that same need that will bring you to say something equally unfair and myopic. A fandom is not necessarily the Big Bad, it's still a good thing when you manage to find your small, happy island, but... sometimes I just wish I could reconnect to the person I was before joining this fandom. Even for the briefest moment.
