I showed a friend of mine Death Note a while back. She loved it, of course, but then started talking about how hot Light was. My immediate response was, "But what about L though?", and she said he's too "weird". Needless to say, we are no longer friends.
Right? Good call J, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life. And I see no problem at all with using someone's reaction to L as a measuring tool for possible friendship.
:P
