User blog comment:Frozen Scorpio/My Votes For the SFW Summer Awards 2015/@comment-4988763-20150714184710

Reached Amsterdam and finally found a stable computer... to see this.

I'm sorry, ''what? ''

Mentioning your disgust for a character is not constructive, unnecessary, and downright rude. I admit you've done a great job being constructive with most characters you vote on but, on the flip side, your wording for some votes (calling people's characters and their writing boring, generic, mediocre like they are words easy to swallow) sometimes are so insensitive and crude for someone that I'd imagine is attempting to be constructive, it makes me wonder how come you did not use less crude words to get the same point across. Free speech is fine and I support it, but such attitude towards such pages is not being constructive; in fact, it's having the opposite effect on people (and that's assuming you care).

Now, on for my big-boy counter-arguments:

Firstly, saying Dimitri has zero weaknesses is a big stretch. Being a telekinetic, his main power's limitation was mentioned not only once but redundantly three times (stamina) in one section alone (just to get that point across). And that's not even its only drawback, too. Lack of concentration, negative Chaos energy, and that recurring metal that appears in my story are all crucial things that can limit his performance in the battlefield. I'm not pulling this out of my butt, too; it's in the text.

Besides, his analytic prowess and botanic knowledge are not even otherworldly skills. Such skills are something most hobbyist martial artists and garderners have. It is even mentioned the latter skill is reasonably fading because he now lives in Station Square (an urban area). Also, do not ever mistake acrobatic ability and reflexes for ground speed!

Secondly, Dimitri has only one power (if you consider his minor manipulation of Chaos energy eligible, two) so I don't see wherë that argument came from. Must all Telekinetics have the same generic weakness of being physically frail and weak? Take that stereotypical trait away by and a character is unbeatable? I don't personally think so. He was never unbeatable in his own series.

Thridly, if you consider his minor usage of Chaos energy to be problematic, I can somewhat understand why you find it eye-rolling given the ridiculous amount of characters with the same power but to a much more extreme degree. My series does revolve around the power's usage, though, hence why many characters of mine have such ability (much like the Sonic game canon, actually).

Not surprisingly, if you compare that to the franchise's lead hero that I've never seen have proper fighting training (and whose only weakness in-game is his inability to swim), Dimitri's not really super-unbalanced as you say, though the additional 'celestial' power-up Viola grants him is admittedly hasty and was being revised since a very long time.

Just because I didn't include a full-fledged Weaknesses section on his page doesn't mean he doesn't have any; it simply means people should not skim my pages before casting a reasonable vote. I'm open for constructve criticism as much as the next guy, however,         if you think Dimitri has zero weaknesses       , ''I'm not the person that needs to re-read his page. ''
