1 - I did not say that Isolde is a bad person, but rather I said that her actions are not characterized by intelligence, and therefore the safe impression of her currently is that she is an not smart character.
You said she isn't smart, later that she's the least smart, and you failed to prove how that "opinion" is valid. Even more importantly, you failed to prove how she is less intelligent than characters who've made similar mistakes to hers or worse. It's why I keep reiterating things you keep ignoring, things from the actual series. Things that prove that Percival is the pervert and the harasser he himself openly admits to being in friggin' chapter 83.
2 - Stop trying to portray what happened between Isolde and Percival as just a justified reaction of a girl who was harassed, because that is not what happened.
Isolde tried to blow up Percival's balls and caused explosions in the city center because she suspected that Percival who was 16 years old boy (and apparently he even looks much younger since Elva thought he was a little kid so she bathed with him, and he looks younger than Lancelot and Tristan in GoE, who were 14 years old at the time).
Stop trying to tell women how to perceive or react to sexual harassment in a world where what he does is sexual harassment according to law voted in by both men and women. It makes you look not smart and something else that's not worth bringing up here. And it's the same thing in their fantasy world, Nakaba himself describes and portrays Meliodas and Percival's habits as such. Years ago when the first fanbooks came out, we had FKS clarify that Nakaba went for the actual word for "molestation" in describing Meliodas' gropiness of Elizabeth. The author himself is not shy about what and how he writes or draws certain things that annoy mostly the Western audience. And by Western I mean all nations and cultures that have laws acknowledging women's human rights. A lot of people here begrudgingly put up with those writing and drawing choices because the series does have qualities as well. Some of us try different ways of ignoring or laughing off his choices, but the vast majority has discussed at some point how he, in spite of acknowledging how naturally and normally his female characters are defensive against most male characters' advances, save for their RI(and most people here don't approve of that approach here too, there are still threads full of debates on it), he won't give up creating scenes where certain characters act like sex offenders, whom he openly describes as such.
Isolde is not only a girl who's been harassed, she's the in story equivalent to a law enforcer/enlisted military officer, with fighting training, as a HK. He did what in either world counts as messing around with someone in uniform and finding out. Isolde is not Elva, clearly, that's why, of the 2, one is a mere circus entertainer forgotten out in the boonies and the other an Emerald ranking Holy Knight of Liones at age 16, above what Guila or Jericho had achieved back when they were the same age. It doesn't take only brawn to reach that, or connections, even children of royalty in this have to prove they are worth certain positions. And you can't raise or develop your magic ability or skillset without learning or intelligence. It's that simple.
3 - Saying that all manga readers agrees with you about Isolde being a victim indicates of Sa it totally wrong and most if not all of the fanbase were against Isolde's stupid actions.
I didn't say that all manga readers agree with me, I said that all manga readers would know it. Different concepts. Because all of us have read the chapters where he persistently holds onto Anne's breasts instead of her waist while riding, or he has his hand in an inappropriate area of her body as they all sleep after the battles with Meragaland and Arthur...and, above all, we've all read chapter 83(or at least those who don't pop in or out for certain arcs), which you deny exists, where he admits that his main view of females at that point involved the physical attractive traits all animals, including humans, take into consideration. And only that. It got a bit more complex with Anne, but only slightly because he'd known her for a while, reason for which Nakaba gave us that lame excuse for perpetuating his habits, but only with Anne, which, in turn, gave her characterisation a low blow. However, all humans have intelligence and rules based on that that involve boundaries and not engaging in sniffing other people's nether region like dogs or other real life non-human species would. Do you randomly get under a girl's skirt, no matter how short or long and sniff her as soon as you meet her?!? Cause that would be worrying. Do you find that to be at the intelligence level of a regular, sane human to do?! Especially if said human is doing it to someone who is an armed and trained member of the military, out on patrol? Answer this, don't dodge it.
For this one reason of many reasons why Isolde is one of the least popular characters in the show
No, it's not. I was here when that situation was debated. She's not in the series much to begin with, having at this point only slightly more presence than Guinevere, and most people are not interested in her because she doesn't have an as interesting as Anne's magic power, or they prefer Gawain's brashness, physical design(big, muscly girl) and reminiscent of Escanor sass(and are even somewhat accepting of her own ecchi antics), even I have Anne ranking slightly higher in preference on account of her MA and in story presence, but lower on account of her attitude towards Percival in 83 and falling for Lancelot's ruse after the Ardd situation, most male characters or even undetermined Nasiens, have more interesting MAs than her, and some people dislike her because of some misconstrued belief that has already been disavowed, at least in action on page, that her interest in Tristan is unfounded, too aggressive( forgetting that getting very aggressively protective of one's LI is a staple of Nakaba writing this universe's ships) or one-sided, and thus it's merely a replica of Diane's attitude towards Mel early on in Taizai. We were all shown it's not, and at long last even Percy got the message, especially after he got Anne to play to his ridiculous tune.
4 - Isolde was determined to blow up Percival's balls and cause major explosions in the city even before Chion came, so saying that Chion caused what happened is meaningless.
She wasn't causing major explosions at all, at most she crumbled some pavement and a bit of wall(and while a jerkass, Chion was right that as soon as the fighting started, the civilians knew to get away, it's the norm in an universe plagued with wars and being constantly under threat from possessors of huge magical power, just like their defenders are too), which shows tremendous control of both her ire going into those blasts, nowhere near what Gilthunder and Guila, for example, risked doing to the capital or the Liones populace, in general, when it came to their personal interests back in Taizai. Let's not forget Mel's b*tchslapping whomever he could through buildings, like Gilthunder, Golgius, or Jude, etc. You're either forgetting that we're both reading and watching these series or already purposely writing fanfiction and I'm not interested in either takes. I can see your double standards and they don't convince me either. You're willing to die on the hill of "women have no rights cause they're stupid, inferior to men, even when men act like low animals towards them"...and, guess what, that isn't flying either. Even Nakaba knows it, and I bet he also knows about Boudicca/Boadicea too, given how he writes the warrior female's takes to male strangers thinking they can waltz in and act inappropriately to them. Tacitus, a male himself, belonging to the victorius Roman Empire, claims that one good reason for Boudicca's rebelion was the Romans' treatment of her and her daughters.
5 - Chion intended his hostile actions towards Percival despite his knowledge of Percival’s identity, while Isolde was motivated by a lack of thinking and understanding, and this is the difference between their situations.
Yes, what Chion did is a textbook example of not being smart, or having information readily available and intentionally doing stupid stuff with it, starting off from processing it. That is what's translated into not thinking information you've been exposed to through, and not understanding. It's the same thing Percival did, when he'd already toppled and hurt someone earlier the same day, so out of recent, practical experience, his carelessness in running around like that was bound to hurt others as well, or not noticing, out of the same experience, that girls, like Anne, don't like boys being grabby or sniffy(the dogs behave) or looking at them naked or at certain body parts that are normally covered( when standing at 1,95 m, while he's 1.50 m), and he looks every bit as mature as Tristan at 14, only fluffier, and people know in their kingdom that even the very adult father of her love interest looks like he could be Tristan's younger brother. For the last time, your attempt at making the "he looks like a child" excuse for Percival doesn't fly. It doesn't fly in story, it doesn't fly outside of it. And the only thing Isolde didn't know was that Percival's level of harassment of her didn't account for her losing her virginity, or sexual intercourse for that matter, each and any of those actions still being done(as far as Percival, or anyone other than Tristan, is concerned) without her consent. She only mistook the assessment of his level of assault, not his action for being anything other than assault. It started with bumping, he made sure, and later admitted to it, to be sexual harassment. This doesn't change. It's in the manga, one has to be completely delusional to deny it.
6 - Isolde attack Chaos Meragalan was just carrying out her mission that she swore to as a Holy Knight, and if we follow your logic, this also means that Percival is much more mature and intelligent than her, recording that he saved more people than her even before he became a Holy Knight.
Stop misconstruing what I said. With that I argued for her doing more and better than only thinking about Tristan and minimally Jade, as you claimed, and not for "you get n IQ points for how ever many people you rescue". I argued for her being wiser and smarter than either Chion and Percival, because her train of thought involves the wellbeing of her people, past her personal vendetta or ridiculous opinion that her or Chion's abilities were enough to prevent Tristan's having to fulfill the prophecy alongside all the other KotA. Chion thinks that he can protect Tristan of having to fight, Isolde knows the reality is that she can only support him with the best of her abilities. Percival prioritises his personal vendetta on Ironside and everything going on with Ironside...or Diodra(even letting Ironside's brother in law taunt him into abandoning his friends and potential RI, yeah, real smart, Percival/s), Chion prioritises his dumb opinion that Tristan wouldn't be saddled with even more responsibility or risks should any other KotA perish, He even fails to notice or take into consideration how Tristan feels about his responsibilities, his nature, or his wants, whereas the only thing Isolde's failed to notice so far is the fact that Tristan, and many others, find her beautiful and attractive, even with her height and impetuous temper, and sometimes exactly for it. Tristan simply hates seeing her hurt because of him...or rather his failing to protect her from that. Because he's gotta be a bit macho, after all, he's Meliodas' son.
7 - Your statement that Percival, like an animal just because he shocking people is ridiculous because you made all this noise and defended Isolde, who blows people’s balls up because of a misunderstanding.
So you mean to tell me that humans normally get to strangers' crotch levels and start sniffing them, enjoying that and they're still deemed "sane and harmless"?!? Wow, just...wow. Keep going, I'm about to grab some popcorn, haven't watched this type of comedy in a while...
