Secondly, that\\\'s not really halfway. Removing the part about what Kat\\\'s demonization Anthony about removes context from the example. Examples need to explain why they are examples, e.g. \\\"Kat is demonizing Tony by doing such and such\\\".

Thirdly, Anthony\\\'s done plenty of bad things. That\\\'s no reason to make up \\\'\\\'more\\\'\\\' bad things to justify her dislike of him. The actions that he has done should be enough. His actions in regards to Antimony haven\\\'t been remotely violent, nor have his words suggested he is likely to resort to violence.

So what is demonization? Making up shit about someone you don\\\'t like to portray them as wicked and threatening in order to justify your dislike of them.

* So what did Kat do? She made something up, specifically, she made up the idea that Renard was having cruel experiments performed on him.
* About whom did she make this something up? Anthony.
* Why would she make this something up about him? Because she doesn\\\'t like him.
* Why did she make this something up about him? To portray him as wicked and threatening and thusly justify her dislike of him.
* Conclusion: This is an example of demonization.

Whether or not she is justified in doing so (Which, you know, she isn\\\'t) is another matter entirely. Irrelevant in relation to whether she is demonizing him, but for a lark I\\\'ll look into that a tiny bit.

Has Antimony been hurt? Sure. Is that reason to assume that Anthony is performing cruel experiments on Renard? No.

Does Kat have a reason to dislike and distrust Anthony\\\'s motives? Yes. Does that give Kat reason to assume he\\\'s doing things he hasn\\\'t been suggested to be likely to do? Is he likely to attempt to send the Jews straight to Davy Jones\\\' locker, Heil Blackbeard? Perhaps send some guys to crash a plane or two into the World Trade Center? At what point did Anthony say \\\"I will perform cruel experiments on Renard!\\\" [=*cackles evil-ly while twirling his Snidely Whiplash mustache*=]

And no, she\\\'s not aware of his actions in \\\'\\\'Divine\\\'\\\'. All she knows, and all we know, is that he was involved. She\\\'s \\\'\\\'assuming\\\'\\\' he was the one who put Antimony in a coma, and maybe he did, but currently she has no actual proof for this other than \\\"He\\\'s a jerk\\\".

All Zimmy saying \\\"Her father?\\\" proves is that he was involved in some way. What it doesn\\\'t prove is that \\\"Her father put her in a coma for the express purpose of torturing her to death because he\\\'s Satan incarnate and also if he were living in the United States he would vote Republican.\\\" (which I grant you is ridiculous, because Satan is obviously a Democrat)

Also, he\\\'s not holding Renard against his will. Anthony has no control over Renard\\\'s actions. If anyone\\\'s forcing him to stay against his will it\\\'s Kat.
