I'm starting to get really annoyed by that "if you don't like a female character you're misogynistic" thing. That attitude really is not as common as people here make it out to be.

[(Anonymous)]

People want to feel like they're going against the norm, so if they don't like a female character they'll pretend all of fandom is against them.

[(Anonymous)]

They're so brave for going against the totally-supportive-of-female characters norm!

[(Anonymous)]

It is from fans of unpopular female characters (see: Laurel Lance, Arrow), and sometimes even popular ones (see: Regina Mills, OUAT).

[(Anonymous)]

Really?

I can't even think of a single recent instance of even the most minor criticism of female characters when someone doesn't play the misogynistic card.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I know that Tumblr blog fandomshatewomen is all over this shit.

Which really pisses me off because I, personally, find it misogynistic as heck in its own way.

"Oh, you dislike a female character? You must be a misogynist!"

Right…because the only reason a woman is ever hated is BECAUSE she's a woman. Because women are all the same! And don't have any defining or unique characteristics that could make them unlikable!

Like, Christ, with that logic, you can't dislike Sarah Palin -- even though she's said and done PLENTY to make people hate her guts. (And, yes, I recognize that people have said misogynistic things about Sarah Palin. But that hardly makes criticism/dislike of her misogynistic in and of itself.)

[(Anonymous)]

This is the biggest issue with any conversation about Anita Sarkeesian, tbh.

[(Anonymous)]

In spaces with some kind of nominal commitment to feminism, that is probably true.

As a broader generalization, I don't think it's even close to tenable.

Really? I must be hanging out in the wrong fandom circles then. It goes so far that I think thrice before I say something negative about a female character.
