Returned home now, so responding to your posts in order. π
Lol, sorry if you feel naked and invaded now. Actually, the reason I read the posts in Dheera AT are, because you guys seem to be up to date on all the spoilers of SNS, before the rest of the forum knows about it. π I come there for the spoilers, and happen to read other posts too. Anyway, it's not my intention to make you feel invaded, but to be fair, it is a public thread, and threads are generally viewed by a lot of people, not all who are members there.
Also, I have experience in organizing and maintaining ATs, which is why I know the rules regarding it. An AT is a special thread just for the couple or person it is created for, so it's inappropriate to comment on other characters there. I agree, when other characters are related to Dheera for a specific scene or sequence, then it's fine, but otherwise, it's not allowed for people to posts comments on how they hate Vidya or Vivaan, and can't stand seeing them have so much screen space. If anyone needs to vent their frustration with the current tracks, then it's better to create another thread for it, then to flood Dheera AT with such comments. As long as you guys discuss Dheera there, there's no problem.
No, you're not one of the judgmental Dheera shippers. There are other people who are very judgmental and I think you know who they are, so not gonna list names here. π
There is a difference between liking a character and glorifying their actions. For example, let's take Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. I love him as a character but cannot justify his actions towards Jane and Bingley when he separated them. You know what I mean? Likewise, no one is judging you for liking Dheera, but liking Dheera doesn't mean you or anyone else needs to glorify their actions. Like, it's understandable if you like Dharam, but you don't like how he treats Meera at times right, like when he manhandles her? That's what I'm talking about. I have no issues when people say they ship Dheera, but it's when they start glorifying or justifying their negative actions that it starts bothering me. When we like someone, we should also be cognizant of their faults. No one is perfect, so there's no reason to justify the actions of those we like, whether it's on TV or real life.
And OMG, I so agree with you! Kokila used to be an amazing character in the beginning. I loved how she answered back to Rashi's meanness towards Gopi, but then she became more cruel as the show progressed, both towards Rashi and Gopi. She treated Rashi as if she were a servant, and she treated Gopi well only as long as she listened to her. The moment Gopi started to have a voice, Kokila ill-treated her too.
I think I replied to all your points. Is there anything I forgot?
