On social media, recent criticism of the character ' Fern ' from the anime "Sousou no Frieren" ( Frieren: Beyond Journey's End ) has sparked debate among fans of the franchise. Fans of the series have criticized Fern for her grumpy and controlling attitude in various situations, despite recognizing her mature and maternal personality.

Described as a young woman with unusual maturity for her age, Fern takes on the responsibility of caring for the protagonists, Frieren and Stark, performing tasks such as waking them up, feeding them, and maintaining order on the set. However, despite her mature attitude, Fern doesn't escape moments of childishness and irritation when things don't go as planned. Her pout habits and attempts to manipulate those around her have generated mixed opinions among anime fans.
Some critics have expressed concern about the negative impact of the Fern personality on her long-term interpersonal relationships. They point out that her controlling and moody behavior can hinder her ability to maintain healthy relationships, both in her personal and professional life, which can affect her reputation online and offline.
On the other hand, other opinions seem to focus on superficial aspects of her character, such as her physical appearance. Some viewers seem willing to overlook her negative behavior due to her physical attractiveness, which has generated additional criticism of superficiality from certain segments of the audience, highlighting the importance of a more holistic approach to character analysis.
However, some fans have defended Fern, emphasizing her character development and pointing out that her actions are motivated by a genuine desire to protect her friends and achieve her goals. They argue that her feisty attitude is just one facet of her complex and multifaceted personality, which contributes to her depth and realism.
In short, the criticism leveled at Fern in “Sousou no Frieren” reflects a broader debate about the representation of characters in anime and how their actions and personalities are perceived and analyzed:
- It's not that she's overly grumpy, it's simply a matter of how she expresses herself. You're not simply exploiting their needs one way or another.
- I consider her the kind of person who puts up with it and then explodes. She's usually so patient and loving that she's considered a mother, so I can forgive her for that.
- You can tell from afar that she is an impossible dog to please.
- I wonder if the kind of person who would tell Fern that she is “moody and tries to control people” is a saint who regularly leads a very respectable life.
- The reality is that all that's left is a disgusting case of ugly, unhygienic, and ill-tempered.
- Well, I think there's less representation of this kind of thing in the more recent installments of the series. Is it because Fern is over 20?
- In real life, beautiful women can get away with this kind of behavior.
- I think it's more of a family thing, and that they portray her as spoiled by her "older brother" Stark .”
