Just because you have a biased outlook torwards a character it does not mean that character that the author found relevant enough to put into the story was "just crammed into the story just because"
Quote me the people here who actually dislike Misaka as a character instead of the role she's playing lately, and you might have a point. You are once again making sweeping generalization by putting any criticism under "bias".

The problem is, when a main character's appearance litteraly does nothing to help the plot move along, or if they could be removed from a storyline and it would make no difference at all, or if the plot have to figurately bends backwards to justify their presence, you have a problem. It is detrimental to the story and the character in question.

And I'm not talking about NT8 either, earlier volumes provide plenty of examples.

The same can be said about index, why is she in Sargasso? It's not like she's gonna be much use there.
Are you joking, there is no equivalence to be made here, if anything Index should have participated in many more magical incidents.

And how is you telling me to shut up better than me asking why not make a thread for a kind of discussion?
Because I'm actually telling you to make your case instead of whining against other posters, and if you can't then you should shut up. I'm asking you to debate like a mature and honest individual, by actually looking at the arguments being made instead of strawmanning, and not acting like the big baby who can't take it. You basically advocate that any thread with Mikoto in it to be expurged from dissenting opinion so you can pretend that they don't exist. A hugbox, or the internet equivalent of Pleasantville.

Pretty sure that you are on another level than me.
