Okaybutlemmeexplain wrote: I know I wouldn't hate Magnus. its in Alex's character to be snarky and rude, its every one who isn't a malex fan's main defence that Alex is rude but it's just part of his/her character and it makes sense and flows with the story. Also Alex could have been confused about his/her feelings toward Magnus and took it out on him in a different way than he/she intended.

The issue is that Alex being snarky and rude has no charm, wit, or entertainment value for the reader to like and peg her as a likable character for them to give a s**t about in the entire narrative:Alex wants to inflict violence on people who would have no idea of her transgender and genderfluid identity, this isn’t towards just bigots or those who don’t believe such things it’s made clear that EVERYONE would be on her chopping block regardless.

In the story Alex treats everyone like garbage, demeans and insults them if they aren’t even mean to her, while if someone someone called her a argr she would be ready to bring bodily harm showing that she can’t take being called a bad name, but expects others to do so.
