Pfft, you are SO not alone with that thought though. Every TW person I follow on tumblr a) refers to Stiles as the main character, and b) was really frustrated with Scott for season one. I stopped watching because omg Scott, no. Idk if season two is better or if people just readjusted their settings, but I think there's more stuff with Derek and his pack taking up screen time? So yeah. Your anon is the outlier, not you, and there are plenty of places on tumblr where people pull apart TW and talk about the problems with Scott being boring, and with women in the show, and with some of the skeevy sexualised violence, and talk about the meta problems within fandom (like shipping Stiles and Derek, who basically have a really abusive relationship in canon that gets fetishised as TOO MANY FEELINGS).
... I know way too much about TW for someone who doesn't watch it.
I'd love to know whether my anon follows my Tumblr or whether they're a tag surfer who somehow found my Tumblr despite me carefully not tagging much TW stuff in it. I'm assuming the latter because it's way less creepy than thinking there's someone following me and just waiting for me to say something they don't like *sigh*
At least there are places on Tumblr where some sensible meta discussions happen. TW doesn't seem to have much presence on DW and LJ and the idea that nobody is talking about the problem parts of it because of the Tumblr culture of total positivity at all times is pretty disturbing. I mean, fandom has been pulling apart the shows we love for *decades*. It's what we do :-D
But as I use Tumblr as my happy fluffy please don't make me think place, I think I'll be staying faaaar away from actual Teen Wolf fandom there. I'll just continue watching from the side-lines with a glass of Baileys.
