Thank you. I agree 100% with the EJ thing.

It is killing me that I go to the soap boards and the EJ fans are like...ruining every post because "Oh my god! Sami deserves this treatment because of what she's done since teenagedom." His criminal behavior is continuously excused by calling her a slut, horrible mom, etc. And the thing is, Sami loves her kids. She does a lot for them. Never mind that he's a lawyer so it should be obvious that criminal behavior is just that.

On the SoapCentral board, I've never seen more illogical fans in my life. They make Soaps.Sheknows look well-reasoned. That's rather sad in itself.

Agreed. And she's been trying not to be as insane as him for a long time, if you ignore her shooting him in the head. The fact that she sat Rafe down and told him everything about her past at one point (which apparently took hours) should be a big tip she's changed since her teenager years.

I've never been to their board. The only Days related group I go to is the one here on LJ which is rather quiet, and I've seen that attitude on a rare occasion. The only drama I've seen was the fact a few went berserk that there might be a gay character.

Exactly. She's been growing, trying her best. Save the gun shooting, but hey, you tell me my kid's dead and leave her alone in order to be a bastard....yeah. But considering how often she's been stalked by the man. He's a classic abuser. Hell, look how he nearly strangles Nicole all the time.

Her telling Rafe was a big change. She's trying, so hard to be a better adult. She's not perfect, but she's this teeming harlot that bedhops. I mean in the past decade she's had what: Lucas, Rafe and EJ. Not exactly a working woman there.

Trust me, you don't wanna go. The sheer number of comments makes me cringe.

I agree.

Sami wanting to make Rafe the father of her kids is why this revenge nonsense started and is greatly responsible for people getting fed up and turning the show off IMO.
There is nothing as disgusting as one parent trying to keep a child from the other parent as far as I am concerned.All because Sami said "our kids" to Rafe, in reference to the fact he's a parental figure of some sort with the young ones ( ... )

Unfortunately this isn't limited to fiction, either.

I remember reading about a case a few years ago where it was decided that a man hadn't raped a woman when she thought she was sleeping with her boyfriend (the man's twin brother).

Oh, I remember that case, too. But this is specifically aimed at certain fans of rapist characters. Like, okay: Snapewives are more balanced in their assessments of the canon character. The boards are disgustingly biased and if you say "maybe he's not great and you can tell like him" then you're like an evil fat bitch who knows she can never get the character so you're just jealous. It's seriously that mentality ( ... )
