That's one weird ass definition of pathetic.

 

Well the definition is "arousing pity, especially through vulnerability or sadness."

 

Lol Fail on my part.

 

A School Days character is at the top of the list.

I never thought I'd see the day.

 

I was expecting characters who were just too useless for their own good.

I agree with most on the list though

 

LOL Sakura.

 

Haha how did Sachi make the list

 

She wasn't even a heroine lol, just a side character that had a really unfortunate and sad death...
