The Un Favourite Discussion
Lale: Since Manjyome, Ron, Zuko, and Fate aren't the main character...

Elsie Edwards of Nothing's Fair In Fifth Grade by Barthe De Clements, and two sequels. She's the unloved one, while her mother dotes on younger siser Robyn.
Lale: As horrific a story as that book was, abuse is not the same as favoritism. Singling out one child for abuse is done out of sadistic pleasure, not favoritism. Several unfavorites do find themselves abused, but it's because they're the unfavorite, not by unfortunate coincidence.
fhan: What about Lot Rs Faramir?
From the Heroes example: "This is due to having been conceived expressly in order to be a cure for her"

Ophicius: I'm confused. Why is this potholed to You Fail Biology Forever?


Kay Kay: Is it me, or is the lesson here that Unfavorites get made because off jackass parents?
