Thank you, and I understand your stand and liking. But I personally don't believe it's derogatory towards a fictional character who, believe it or not, has made herself a mockery now. However good she might have been which I haven't seen, at this moment, she has been butchered to the core. Her character personifies the ridicule and farce of intimate relationships. She has turned her credibility and integrity into a travesty.
No one ever speaks up when the FLs on different shows are accused of controlling their husbands. No one speaks up against the characters when a living woman is accused of being a bad omen to the house in the show. Not one comes forward to speak against the routine humiliation a woman's dignity is subjected to both in real life and in fiction.
However, when it is comedy that strips off the hypocrisy of such characters, when it is comedy that shows the mirror to the society, that's when people start getting politically correct opinions and start defending some random characters. I've said this before and will repeat, anyone can be a victim of comedy. If people can't handle the truth, they should probably learn this from the "righteous" fictional characters they so admire.
Under the guise of a strong woman, this Savi is nothing but a parody of all that's wrong with the interpretation of a strong woman. I feel nothing but sheer contempt for such characters and comedy is the only route that provides me relief.
This is not only for you, dear friend, but for all those delusional people and die-hard fanatics who are defending this hocus-pocus of a show and this fictional lady who has become nothing more than a laughing stock.
