I kind of agree... I didn't mind Britta but I never felt very bad for her because every time shit happened or she got in trouble, it was pretty deserved and she brought it on herself. I found all the other female characters way more sympathetic. There was no hook for me with Britta, or a reason for me to feel bad when the person who kept shooting her in the foot was herself.

Considering the people you're talking about though, it's not surprising they're defensive of the outspoken white girl whiteknight who is a bit too harsh at times but means well (!!!).

ITA on Britta's brand of upper-class WASP-y version of feminism, which no matter how sincerely felt feels pretty exclusionary to working class/poor women and (from what I read since I have no direct experience of this) POC women.

At least canon did call Britta out on being a hypocrite in general on activism right in the second episode, and it kept calling her out on it for the entirety of the show's run, so there's that, I guess.

I'll be honest. I think the OP is overstating slightly. Yeah, there's a significant portion of Britta-stans who'll level the misogyny accusations against other fans when someone says they don't like Britta, but for the most part that seems to come more from Jeff/Britta shippers than people who simply cite Britta as their favorite character.

ayrt

Oh I know the show kept calling her out, I don't blame the show for overlooking it. But that's part of what made the character unsympathetic to me. I was sympathetic in the first season but then she kept on going, kept getting called out, and never got any better, which made it all worse.

Isn't Jeff/Britta the majority fanship?

Nope. It's Jeff/Annie by a huge margin.

It was so unpopular a pairing that Dan Harmon eventually just outright abandoned Jeff/Britta and ended the series with the idea that Jeff/Annie will eventually get together after Annie comes back from her adventure interning with the FBI.

Dan just uploaded commentaries for the sixth season on Yahoo where he pretty much confirmed Jeff/Annie as the off-screen endgame.

But Jeff is super old

Pierce is super old.

At the end of the series, Jeff was 41 as of sometime in April and Annie was 24 as of December. So, roughly a 16.5 year age difference.

Doesn't faze the fans, from what I've noticed.

I personally don't mind either pairing. I think the older Annie gets the less of an issue the age gap would be, and a relationship between Britta and Jeff would be full of constant snark, but I think for them, that setup would actually work in an odd way.
