Re: Fandom Gripes Pet Peeves

OP here are a couple of mine.

1. People who say they stop watching a show because they are tired of characters getting killed, but continue to watch other shows that tend to even kill more characters. Like a person stops watching Walking Dead because of the deaths but continues to watch Game of Thrones.

2. People who only start watching a show because of a certain ship becoming canon. For example some Korrasami shippers. I know a few who have never watched the first series with Aang because they were not into the premise or genre but boom once Korrasami was canon they watched LoK. I understand wanting representation, but forcing yourself to watch a series that you are not certain you are going to like for a pairing just makes me go WTF.

What makes you think they're forcing themselves? I lost interest in LoK after the first season, but Korrasami becoming canon genuinely brought my interest back. People get interested in things for all kinds of reasons you don't need to understand to accept that they're interested.

What? I freaking buy comic books I'm not sure I'm going to like. I can give a TV series a shot.

1. I think you're assuming that a person's level of engagement with one show is automatically going to be the same for another. Maybe killing off characters in one show is far more of an emotional dealbreaker than it would be for something else.

2. ...don't people start watching anything without a guarantee they're going to like it? I've started watching about a dozen shows this year alone, for a variety of reasons. I've liked maybe two of them. I wasn't forcing myself; I was watching to see if the hype/reviews/rec/actor/whatever that piqued my interest would mean I enjoyed the show.

Yeah I agree with one. I found it funny how a lot of people I knew in this one community are pissing themselves over last nights Supernatural death, crying about how all the SPN ladies get ganked...yet they love Game of Thrones and have very limited critique for what that show does for it's leading ladies.

At least it has leading ladies.

Game of Thrones has killed off Catelyn, Shae, and (arguably) Ygritte. The other prominent female characters are all alive and kicking.

Supernatural, on the other hand, has killed off every single prominent female character to appear, and 'prominent' here is used very loosely, because most of them were still treated as largely irrelevant to the overall narrative and seen very rarely.

There are definitely problems with GoT, but it still treats its female characters better than Supernatural. Then again, so does pretty much everything that isn't an MRA tract.

I'm inclined to say that MRA tracts treat their female characters better. They have a much higher survival rate, anyway.

Agreed. I'm so glad I gave up SPN after Ellen and Jo's deaths. I wish I had given it up sooner, actually.
