U chan, despite being cute is as stated a RT character.  The reason people
didn't appreciate you showing Ukyou bad points is for a simple reason.  In
the bottom of their hearts they know that if the story was a little
different that U-chan could have been Ranma's #1 cute fiance.  Just think if
Genma and Ranma would have run into Ukyou on there return trip from China
things may or may not have changed.

	You're talking about a really big change here.  The idea of the series is

that Ranma meets Akane first and loves her first.  Besides, Ranma did meet
Ukyou first, sort of.   
POINT TAKEN :)

 He did meet Ukyou before meeting Akane.  I don't think it is fair that
everyone don't appreciate Kun-chan showing Ukyou's flaws. 

I don't have one either?  If you think about it a persons flaws makes them
what they are.

 Akane is my favorite character, and I don't mind people pointing out her
faults as long as they're right about it.  Just what did Kun-chan said about
her?  I can't remember exactly what they were (think it was about Ukyou
being not too feminine and something else) but I do remember that Kun-chan's
statements made sense.  You don't have to agree with it, but no one is
perfect in Ranma 1/2 (okay, maybe except Kasumi).  If it is okay to show
Akane and Shampoo's flaws, why is it not okay to show Ukyou's?  Why is it
okay for some people to say that Akane is a tomboy and that Shampoo is a
bimbo but it is not okay to point out Ukyou's flaws?

I hope you didn't take this the wrong way.  I have no problems with

pointing out the flaws.  

 All i am really trying to say is that
she may have her bad points but when it comes down to it no one really wants
to see them.  IMHO from what I have read and seen of U-chan she may have
feelings of insecurity and doubt about herself when It comes to a
relationship.  Or maybe she just likes to piss Akane Off.;)  Anyway Thats
all i have to say. 

Of course Ukyou must feel insecure and doubtful about her love with Ranma.  It 

is only natural, especially when you consider Ukyou grew up as a "boy".  Of

course Ukyou have her bad points, just like everyone else.  If it offends
you for someone to point out Ukyou's flaws, don't read it.  As far as I
know, Ukyou and Akane are actually pretty good friends, so I doubt if that
Ukyou would purposely try to hurt Akane.  Ukyou's flaws are what make her...
human.  I never really like Kasumi because she is just too perfect, almost
like an angel.  I know she sort of got angry once, but otherwise she is too 

monotonous and boring.

Speaking of Kasumi how about this.  Sub Story:  Kasumi Tendo. On the outside
