I've been reading some HTTYD fanfics lately and something bugged me. In almost every story I read Snotlout was purposely either the bad guy or humiliated just because the writer did not like him. Some of the stories were so bad I did not want to read them, a mater of fact I don't think I finished any of them. I stopped reading Snotlout fanfics entirely (which is a shame since he's my third favorite character after Ruffnut and Tuffnut) because I felt so bad for him and it got me upset. I don't understand why people would hate him, yes he can be obnoxious or annoying sometimes but I don't think that's a good enough reason to completely hate a character. Like all people, Snotlout has his good points too. As seen in Race to fireworm island and Viking for hire he does care for Hookfang. He has also multiple times helped save Berk from whatever threat there might be. There are other reasons that people may dislike him. Such as some people feel he's trying to break up Hiccup and Astrid's relationship so he can have her for himself, or that he was mean to Hiccup in the beginning. Well he's friends with Hiccup now and he's into Ruffnut. What's the problem here! If it's you just think he's a plain jerk then look at yourselves. Making everyone boo him off stage, sit on nails, out of line insults, Your being a bully! Look I'm sorry if this has affined anyone but most of those fanfics where harsh to him, and it's not just fanfics some of them were unkind comments on other HTTYD web sites. Snotlout does also serve a purpose beyond comic relief (for those of you who may think he's worthless) that even you Snotlout haters appreciate even if you don't realize it. Snot's reason for being originally was to give Hiccup a reason to want to do better, a reason to keep going. Every insult made Hiccup want to become the hero you all love. There are a lot of characters like this who are treated unfairly, I happen to like them and appreciate those characters. I hope after reading this people will stop being so cruel to Snotlout and give him his do.

Thank you if you actually read this entire thing sorry I know it's long, but I felt it needed to be said.--Rufftuff21 (talk) 06:10, July 6, 2014 (UTC)
