User blog comment:LiSi/Why no one should care is Sam beats up Freddie./@comment-3180503-20101203234751/@comment-3092491-20101207222526

That's a very good point. I also think Sam should lay off a little (and I think she already has) in order for any relationship between her and Freddie to develop to a point of full plausibility - and just for Sam's own good character growth.

My main point is towards those people who immediately jump on the fact that Sam beats on Freddie as a reason they shouldn't be together because it signifies an "abusive relationship". I find this ridiculous because the functions of the iCarly world are all based around comedy, even the way relationships function in this world have their base in comedy.

Of course you see this all across the board. Some people just have a problem with comedic violence - I've seen complaints about it from anime & manga far off in Japan to the classic Peanuts here - and I just don't agree with that point of view. Comedic violence shouldn't be taken to a single degree of seriousness - a show that is made to make you laugh shouldn't be overly analyzed, poked and prodded, to the point of judging it against real-life moral and conscience standards of such gravity as "abuse" when it obviously doesn't take place in the real world.

So, that's how I feel. Sorry for a mini-essay ^^;
