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.)

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

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.
