We Love the Women That Fandom Hates- Day 1

Sep 09, 2011 00:26

It is past midnight and thus officially September 9th which means it is the first day of the We Love the Women That Fandom Hates project. For those of you who have only watched Game of Thrones and not read A Song of Ice and Fire, the Catelyn meta today does not refer to events that happen after the first book. However, it does refer to events that ( Read more... )

I suppose, but the hate is so prevalent. I can only speak for Catelyn, but it seems like every time I click her name on Tumblr, someone complains about her.

That doesn't happen with Ned, Robb, Daenerys...

I need more lesbians or men in my fandoms! (well, just ASOIAF really, middle aged women get a lot of love in Star Trek, the Closer, etc)

I don't really understand tumblr. I click, there's pretty, I'm happy. It seems in ASOIAF I click, there's idiocy, I'm annoyed.

Jon is very pretty. Tommen too. He's such a little dumpling.

I love Tommen. He's such a darling boy.

I totally understand the 'men people want to frak' part of tumblr. That's awesome. I just get grumpy by the post about women being 'stupid, boring, annoying, whiny' because I don't seem to see those about men.

Dany/Sansa would make me very happy.

That's not really what the project is about though. As per the original post:

WE LOVE THE WOMEN THAT THE FANDOM HATES

1) You choose one fictional woman that you love and against whom, at one point or another, you felt fandom hatred. It doesn't have to be a woman that majority of fans hates (Ginny Weasley, Susan Pevensie, Bela Talbot). It is enough if you read somewhere that she deserves to die because she kissed that guy and not another (Elena Gilbert) or that that bitch tries to act like a man (Kara Thrace). The sad truth is that, probably, every woman in any fandom will pass that criteria.This isn't about having a persecution complex and arguing about which character gets the most hate. Rather, it's about accepting the fact many female characters do get ( ... )
