Amen to that. I'm having a lovely time writing redeemable Atton (not redeemed, I hasten to add), but the whole fluffy one-true-love thing makes me absolutely crazy.
Oh yeah. I really don't have a problem with stories that feature a character arc with a redeemable Atton, who over a long period of time becomes a better man. My issues are with the stories that just assume that Atton is awesome and healthy romantic potential right after the events of the game. I always wonder if these Atton fangirls and I played the same game...
(Though I will argue on the "sorry for killing Jedi" point...all the voice acting, for me, pointed to massive denial rather than blithe nonchalance.)
That I can buy. It didn't strike me that way in the game, but I can see how someone could interpret it that way.
