melusina ([info]melusina) wrote in [info]fandom_lounge,
. . . are you serious?

First of all, she is starving in District 12— her "delight" (which is mixed anyway) in the food at the Capitol is because she hasn't had enough to eat in years, perhaps ever. Any interest she has in pretty dresses are because she is desperate to get sponsors to help her survive. Her stylists are always deploring the fact that Katniss could not give two shits about how she looked in front of Capitol eyes— she wants to wear the braid her mother left in her hair because of the emotional tie to it, and hates having to take it out. And the idea that she is more troubled by her love life than the games is kind of hilarious— her entire focus is on survival, and playing up the relationship with Peeta helps her through that.

And the idea that she cared more about her love life than Rue, for example, is kind of hilarious. Yeah, no. The idea of a "feminist icon" is a little faulty anyway, but the idea that Katniss is vapid is just. . . no.
