Everyone is really mean about Datu!

[Ra1th]

Yes i get the fact that he's been whining and crying a lot. but some people find it difficult to get over these things. not everybody can ignore their emotions. ok sure it is a bit annoying but i know people who have lost family members 2 years ago and still cry about it today.

and thats ok, in the real world, but on a tv show. People don't care that much. Well not most anyway

And I was wondering how I'd come across so aggressive!

Btw, 90s Gladiators rocked



EDIT: I don't know how to embed videos, oh dear

Oh yeah the original gladiators rocked. The new one is rubbish. You press the insert video button just above where you enter your message.

But yeah, I'm of the opinion that Datu gets picked on too much. Not just for his wave of emotions but also because of his accent.

That is an interesting point =). Do you think listeners have more chance to feel "close" emotionnally to a character who have the same cultural background that they can relate to? I am not suggesting anything towards racism or discrimination but more as an inconscient bond.
Its possible that it is harder for listeners to relate emotionnally and be compassionnate to him Tatu due to his background (working in a lower class status as a concierge, sending money to his family, a normal average dude without any training and mentally sensitive) compare to some other characters like Angel or Micheal?
That is a possible reason why as a "weak" character people are picking on him so much...
I found it very interesting to understand why people don't like a certain character and for which reasons and characteristics =D

They're evil toward Scratch as well. I've no sympathy for Datu. He is weepy and flip flops far too often. Nobody ever said you had to love every character.
