Oh, it is semantics. It definitely is. But especially towards the start, it was certainly one of the more... obnoxious examples to my recent memory? It was enough of a bad first impression for me to not enjoy what she had to say going forward.

Though I do feel the last part almost proves my point -- it ends up that the Ganma actually are something that's a lot more easily comparable to things modern science has discovered, and yet her first reaction was to hit it with "it's not what has already been found out, so it can't be real". And no matter how things eventually turned out, it still remains that that's just... not a good representation of science to me, and it's never challenged in any meaningful way.

Still though, semantics -- especially when as I said, I do like how she turned out! She's very helpful and is thankfully allowed to be a lot more fun and do a lot more than stand on the sidelines like how certain other female lead characters are treated by certain other rider shows, and I'd like to see the sort of drive and determination her character had a lot more.
