I am a bit torn on that subject. On the one hand I think you are right and there is a lot of hypocritical behavior. A lot of these people just ignore that the ableist society they live in has shaped Tyrion (just as Cersei was affected by misogyny).

But on the other hand, I have to admit that I am much quicker to defend Cersei than Tyrion myself. Idk, I freely admit that she is a horrible person, but she is also a really well written character and a lot of the hate she gets is undeserved. I mean, there are some people that hate her because she is a horrible person that does moraly reprehensive things (like for example ordering the murder of children). But there are also a ton of people that hate her for misogynistic reasons or without acknowledging the influence the patriarchy had on her character. And that's where I think a lot of the stanning for Cersei is actually backlash against that.

Tyrion is, in my opinion at least, a more morally grey character. I think the hate for him on tumblr and ONTD comes from a similar place as the Cersei stanning. Tyrion as a character is super popular with both mainstream viewers and critics and also in some parts of the fandom like westeros.org. The thing is, though, that most of these fans never acknowledge his misogynistic tendencies for example. I think there is some backlash against him as a character because of frustration about that.

(Additionally, I also believe that most people (at least on tumblr/ONTD) have a much easier time relating to misogyny/sexism than to ableism.)
