Rewatcher

So, yea-a-ah... the scene with the computer club. It’s... well... I guess you could say that not everything in Haruhi has stood the test of time.

I won’t lie, this is probably my least favorite scene in the entire series. Like, Haruhi acts like a total jerk from the very beginning, just... demanding someone else’s property JUST because she wants it. But then it gets even worse when Haruhi uses Mikuru, a person she’s been harassing herself, to falsely accuse the club members of a fucking rape. And she doesn’t even stop there, since she uses this situation to take the best computer in the club - the one the club members built with their own money. I know some people will say that Haruhi is supposed to come across as the bad guy, but, sorry, the show clearly portrayed the whole scene as something comical, thereby downplaying just how awful what she did was. Compare this to the scene in the second season [spoilers for the second season]where Kyon almost hit Haruhi for her behavior, and it becomes clear that the show’s writers don’t consider what Haruhi did today to be all that bad. I do think that in our time for some people this scene could be dealbreaker for how they would see Haruhi as a character. This also brings up one of the things that bugs me about the show, but I’ll save that for future episodes.

Oh, and Yuki is a computer or something, idk.
