I'm really getting tired of the Boards perception of Ahri players.

Lately, with the sudden release of (another) Ahri skin, I've been seeing the terms of "weeaboo" or "Horny teenagers" being thrown around a lot by people talking about Ahri mains/people who buy her skins.

It's kinda irritating how people conceive Ahri as some sort of thing that attracts teenage boys, or "Weeaboos". We have people like Nidalee MissFortune Zyra (They are only examples, i personally find nothing wrong about them) and not to mention RekSai who have a considerably same amount of skin showing, but none of these champs mains are thrown with terms like Ahri mains get. Sure sex appeal is a thing, and I'm not against it, but does that really dictate a champ and all her fans?

For myself, I got into league because of The New Dawn cinematic. Three things interested me, Ahri, Leona, and the Giant ass Naut, who disappointed me on his size in game. I found the characters interesting, especially Naut, whom i wondered what he really was, and started playing the game to find out about them.

But because I'm interested in the backgrounds, characters and playstyle of Ahri (and Co.), that makes me some sort of hormonal teenager? Come on, guys. Grow up a bit.

Honestly, it bothers me because unlike the other examples that you gave, Ahri is actually rather interesting as a character, I do like previously morally questionable or evil characters having a crisis of conscience and trying to make amends with the suffering that they caused while still trying to attain their original objectives.

...Even if for whatever reason, her voiceover does not at all reflect her character.

I agree with you there :) I play Ahri because she's extremely fun, zipping around the map, and is solid in most situations, not because she's hot.

The awesome thing about certain champions ( Fizz ) is you can be all horny for them and no one will accuse you of that if you're really into them. *^_^*

If people are going to insult a general population of people (Ahri players, LoL players, etc.) they aren't going to go ahead and research the correct way to do it.

They are going to just say shit, and whatever gets a rise out of people is what's going to stick. Ahri got stuck with weeaboo because of the Asian theme and Horny teenager because she's a female.

My opinion at least. If every Ahri main suddenly took offense to Beefactory, I'm 90% sure that every time someone wanted to bitch about Ahri they'd say "These goddamn beefactories just abuse their OP POS freelo bitch."
