It's not that we're trying to deter people from being attracted to Marie Kanker (that clearly isn't possible considering how hardcore some fans are), it's more an act of expressing bewilderment that people have the undiluted gall to actually be beguiled by such a seemingly repulsive character. The purpose of backing it up with her negative characteristics is so we actually show that we have reason to be opining against her. Otherwise, people like you might inquire as to what it is that we do not like about her.

Also, most of those negative qualities you listed are not near as bad as those of the Kankers. The Kankers resort to sexual harassment, abuse, and other forms of violence to accomplish their goals, not to mention they show absolutely no genuine respect for anyone, not even the Eds. Frankly, I am just fine with Kevin being obsessive about his bike, Nazz being a stereotypical dumb blonde, or Sarah being a spoilt little sister; as I would much rather witness those negative qualities than the aforementioned qualities of the Kankers.

The crux of the matter is that I, and many others, do not fully understand your reasoning behind being attracted to Marie. And as a result, when people like you come around claiming that they are attracted Marie, we respond with bewilderment.
