Anyways, the more I think about, the more I dislike Alex as a person in general. His attitude is that of a caustic, hateful person with a chip on his shoulder.

Alex hits people, threatens to harm them, insults people, trashes a room given to him for free because it wasn't to his liking (unless I am not remembering the real reason) and, according to this wiki itself, he has "a tendency to throw things at people when in a bad mood."

 If that's not bad enough, much of his behavior is a tantrum blown out of proportion to what happened to him. Most of what I mentioned above is because he was called a bad name, argr. You know what, Alex? Everyone is called names. I was called so many horrible names because of my disability. But did I threaten to murder the person whilst throwing a ceramic bowl at their head? No. You can be mad, Alex. Perhaps yell at the person. Or perhaps try to educate the person on their ignorance. But hit the person across the face? Yes, that'll make the person change their mind about you *eye roll*. Physical violence will never be an appropriate reaction to be called a name, period.

Also,  Alex seems to expect everyone to treat him like the queen he thinks he is, even if he treats others like garbage. Guess what, Alex? Golden rule. Treat people as you want to be treated.

Unfortunately, it works out the way Alex wants/expects. Alex yells, demeans and hurts a person and the person decides it's their own fault that Alex behaves this way not, you know, Alex's fault. They reward Alex for his behavior by being "nicer" and Alex, in turn becomes a tiny bit less caustic. Tiny bit.


 * Claps*

Now THIS is summed up perfectly as to why I dislike this character, since Alex is how you don't create a good jerk character...Never did I once like her jerkish attitude or comebacks, because she felt like such a tacked on character who I couldn't identify with not because she/he is transgender/gender-fluid, but because how much of an ass Alex was.

Thank you so much for this.
