I don't care about the whole apple discourse drama. I'm so Apple neutral, I really don't care about her. Like Dexter, I don't really care about him I used to like his doll because brushable hair and his coat.
And the neck of the only Apple White doll I had was broken and you had to position her head in a specific way so that her head wouldn't sag and her head would be on her shoulders like a no neck Apple. It was funny
I don't even know what's really going on in the fandom or what mess they're supposed to bring because I'm a little bit into my MLP obsession.
I honestly think Apple is one of those characters where you have to say, yes, she did all these bad, selfish things, but she also did these good things.
And even if the bad things outweighed the good you could say, I still love her and even though she might deserve hate, a lot of people like villains so what's the problem?
Apple is probably not a defensible character, meaning she can't be easily defended because I don't think you can come up with a good defense without using silly excuses and that's fine! She was selfish? Yes, and like I said I'm neutral about her but at the same time I like her, I never was to Apple hater.
Sometimes I just think you should try to love a character for who they are, without just defending them: Yes she has this million flaws maybe but I like it anyway. Like she did bad things but there's something called redemption arc too! This topic would be interesting if I had paid enough attention to it.
