Everything you just said in your comment is subjective asshattery. You think Cassie doesn't know when to shut up. I think Jake's a jock whose angst about Tom is uninteresting and that without Cassie speaking up from time to time the Animorphs would have destroyed the world. You think Cassie's grating. I think she's usually the only one of the Animorphs with a brain between them (except maybe Tobias, and what I really find funny about that is that Tobias usually AGREES with Cassie and people don't go around bashing him.) You think Cassie goes on and on. I think Marco goes on and on. And all of those things are FINE. I'm right and you're wrong, but they're FINE.
But two things aren't fine with me: the hateful language and attitudes towards Cassie displayed here. I mean I just don't think it's cool and I actually find it really unpleasant to be part of a community where it's considered OK to go "Oh jeeze why didn't Cassie die in X scene? Let's all fantasise about when/how KA could have killed her!"
There's a difference between saying 'I don't like Cassie' and saying 'Cassie sucks.' That line is character bashing and people are crossing it with Cassie all the time. I think it's bad fucking manners, frankly.
