And I've seen plenty of fans hating on female characters because they're female and they're in the way of hooking the hot guy up with another female.

I'm sorry the ship war in your fandom involves slashers, but everything you're talking about is a shipper problem, not a slasher problem.

Exactly.

Not to mention that male characters can get just as much hate as female characters. Aang was hated on hardcore by some Zutara fans. And Ron Weasley? Do I even need to mention anything?

Hating on a female character isn't necessarily misogyny because I've seen a lot of the arguments against female characters made against male characters (such as Ron not being "good enough" for Hermione for instance or them exaggerating his flaws). It's when female characters are hated on in a way that targets them as women -- for example, calling them bitches or sluts the way Ginny was even though she'd only dated a couple guys.

But saying you find Ginny boring and underdeveloped isn't misogyny because the same could easily be said of a male character.

And, as the anon above me noted, hating on female characters is by no means exclusive to slashers. It's an issue in shipping as a whole. Nor is hate confined to female characters.

DA

Another example of this (the hate on male characters in het ships rather than the female) would be the batshit Shugo Chara shipwars.
