Paying This Forward: "we love the women that the fandom hates"

So, this started as my personal need to show some Ginny Weasley love, then it developed into an idea for an action against misogyny in Polish fandom. And then noelia_g asked if she could write in English, because majority of her flist is English speaking. So I thought, hell, why not make it ( Read more... )

Yeah I heard about this, it certainly sounds interesting, though IDK if some of these women are really hated that much by fandom, like Donna Noble or Pam (who hates Pam?! O_o) Hmm, I wonder if I have time...

Maybe it depends what part of fandom your stumble through? I've heard of/seen places that if a woman remotely gets in the way of a person's slash goggles the hate is rained down from the Heavens, you know?

I'm kinda surprised that Cassie isn't on the list. I guess she's just the least-liked Animorph, but not hated enough to make it to a fandom-wide list.

And whoa, everyone from the Vampire Diaries seems to be on it.

Maybe because our fandom is so old? ;) (I looked for her on there myself.)

Word on TVD- I had no idea so many of the ladies got so little love. Honestly, though, I had a negative vibe from fandom on Rose in particular, and I honestly enjoyed both her character and the character growth we got to see Damon achieve by knowing her. (And I *ship* Damon/Elena lol.)
