idk, i think we all liked Mithian because she was cool. i don't think this fandom has issues with women "getting in the way" of the slash pairing. the fandom seems to like Gwen and Freya just fine.

[(Anonymous)]

As I recall, Gwen took some heat for getting in the way back when her and Arthur got together. The only reason Freya doesn't get shit is because she died and is no longer a threat. Most of the babes of the week get eliminated as love interests in ways that satisfy fandom and thus prevent them from getting the vitriol they'd otherwise get.

I've certainly not come across any woman hate in this fandom, although I only dabble in the corners. I'm sure it's somewhere if you look hard enough.

If anything, a lot of the slashers also have fond memories of the Merlin/Gwen hints there were in earlier episodes. Merlin really doesn't have much luck with women in this series. The ladies either marry someone else, get imprisoned, or have to flee for their lives. Merlin's a girlfriend-repelling zone.

[fingalsanteater]

Yeah. I believe the fandom did have some hate directed at women, as fandoms tend to do, but I never really saw it since I came in late and stayed on the fringes.

Poor Merlin, he really didn't have any luck with love at all. Even Gwaine died. :( (I firmly believe Gwaine was pretty in love with Merlin.)

I would really like to believe this is true, but I saw the most vile stuff directed at Gwen/Angel Coulby during my time in this fandom. I was glad when the show ended just so I could enjoy the actress's work without wading through all the crap fandom flung at her.

[iceyred]

Nah, I'm not even in the fandom and I still managed to stumble across some truly horrible stuff about Gwen/her actress.

[fingalsanteater]

Hmm. A lot of the stuff I saw was more racist like "Why is Gwen black" than "Gwen is in the way of Arthur and Merlin's love." I guess mice I came into the fandom a year after the show ended I didn't see the other hate.

[iceyred]

I saw both. People kept going on about how the actress was so UGLY and why they cast someone so UGLY and man she was UGLY (and they always capitalized it too). I always wondered what those people looked like that they were calling that girl ugly.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry to say but this fandom was AWFUL to Gwen in the early seasons. I wasn't even that involved in it, but almost every discussion turned into how ugly Gwen/Angel was and why they'd pick her to the main love interest and how she contributed nothing to the plot and on and on. It was really gross.

Alas, I also saw a lot of hatred for Morgana, though not because she was anyone's love interest. Everyone just seemed to hate her character because she tried to destroy Arthur and Merlin.

Fandom loved Elena for a while, and a couple of the other one-off love interests were well-received, but Gwen and Morgana got TONS of hate. Morgause seemed to be somewhat popular, but I think that's because she was never anyone's love interest.

Omg fingals, you have a new icon!
