@Prinzinc Also, about the connection with Miley Cyrus, I don't think the fact that the author may have used a real person as a reference automatically means the fictional character and that person are ‘somewhat the same person.’ A reference is a reference. Unless the author explicitly said, ‘Yes, Miley Cara is specifically meant to represent Miley Cyrus,’ I don't think we can simply treat them as interchangeable. And even if that connection is intentional, I'm still not sure what bringing all of Miley Cyrus's alleged ‘baggage’ into a discussion about a fictional character accomplishes. We're discussing a manga character, not conducting a character assessment of a real human being.

Look, I don't know how old you are or whatever, but the fact that you are arguing against things I didn't even say is strange. I'm just going going to ignore every statement that you made against things that I didn't say so that I don't clutter up my response to you.
That only leaves two things left to address.
One is my generalizations. You disagree with my generalizations and you make a competing generalization that you can't make generalizations because generally people cannot be generalized. ... ... ... do I really need to point out exactly how you lost this point? Actually, I'm not 100% that your response to me was meant to be as articulate as I assumed that it was and it might have simply been an emotional argument based on nothing more than a preference that I should not make any generalizations, especially since you disagree with them. If that's the case, then I hope you can also see how this is a flawed argument.
Secondly, you disagree that these two characters (Miley Cyrus and Miley Cara) are interchangeable. Again, you are making an argument that I didn't make and although I said I wasn't going to address those, let me at least point out to you that I said that they weren't completely interchangeable in my 4th post. That being said, you continued to claim that you aren't sure, even if they were connected, how that would matter in this manga. I also resolved this in my 2nd post to say that it matters because women like Miley Cyrus aren't attractive to most men as a relationship partner and that the MC deserves better.
