C'è un passo di quest'intervista a Lucy dove stranamente molti fans sia sul gruppo di Lucy che sul gruppo di Renee, si sono sentiti offesi.
Questo è quel passo:
Intervistatore:“Xena” had a compelling story arc. She started as an evil character, and then did this complete turnaround, deciding to become good and embark on this hero’s journey. I remember watching the finale and thinking, “What a perfect ending. Xena finally found her redemption.”
Lucy: We thought there would never be any redemption for her. That was the bit of grit in her makeup that kept her searching, and thinking that she was irredeemable. And then we found out why she thought it, and then she achieved redemption. Although the fans were terribly hurt that we would kill one half of this new dynamic duo. They took it very personally, and only recently have people said, “Oh, I kind of like that ending!” A lot of the fan-base were people who felt very disenfranchised, or had been through pretty tough childhoods, and to them, Xena meant more than just a cool hero on an action show. She was some sort of a role model. To be honest, personally, I feel that role models are for kids. In the end, you’ve got to be your own hero. There’s nobody out there any better than you are, essentially. So, basically, they felt like we decapitated their role model, and that really hurt them, personally. Whereas, I thought, “Guess what. Everybody dies.” Get used to it. You’ve got to look for heroes inside yourself, and not outside. And certainly not on television, for crying out loud. But, you know, that was the hardcore fans’ construct, and people will always do that. If you’re not in touch with reality, it’s going to hurt you, eventually. You hurt yourself by doing that.
Quello che ho evidenziato sono le parole che secondo molti fans di Lucy e Renee sono suonate dure e offensive nei confronti della fandom. Molti di loro hanno detto che sono rimasti offesi dalla morte di Xena. Per loro Xena era una role model e ancora lo è. C'è chi ha detto che Xena li aiutati a crescere, ad avere più forza e lottare per cui si crede e leggere Lucy dire queste cose per loro è un'offesa.
Io sinceramente penso che abbia ragione Lucy
Il vero eroe è in noi stessi, e i veri role model alla fine sono quelli che ti stanno vicino e ti sostengono nella realtà.
Voi cosa ne pensate delle affermazioni di Lucy? Siete d'accordo o le trovate offensive nei confronti dei fans?

anche se non voglio buttarmi in affermazioni troppo esagerate, come cercare di trovare un qualcosa di pedagogico in ogni sua azione.
