(Anonymous) 2015-11-15 07:15 am (UTC)(link)I wouldn't say that slash fans hating on female characters never happens anymore, but I've definitely had the same experience you have, where the prevailing attitude in fandom is that you're practically not allowed to dislike a female character. The moment you do you're - gasp - a misogynist! I'm a feminist, and frankly I find it more oppressive and "problematic" than the largely unchecked female-character!hate of old. People act like each individual female character is the ground on which feminism will be won or lost. If anyone hates this singular fictional creation for reasons that aren't immaculately unproblematic, they are The Reason Misogyny Still Thrives in Our Culture.
Of course, ideally we would find somewhere in the middle. No matter how much I wish a female character weren't in the story, I still don't enjoy seeing her character (that is to say, her personal character) assassinated in fanfic. You want her gone, fine, make her a villain or even kill her off. But must we make her a petty, sniveling, hysterical, manipulative, incompetent, psychotic bitch? Can't she be a competent villain? Can't she at least die bravely and/or nobly?
