I understand that people have different taste in characters, and usually I'm fine with that. But when one of my favorite characters was bashed from the moment she was announced, and it continued on and on ad nauseum over some things that I thought were really ridiculous reasons and when the fandom overall is not only very slash heavy but very into male characters over female characters, I automatically started to wonder about everyone who said they disliked that character. Even if they could potentially have had perfectly valid reasons for doing so.

I mean, even now, Rey gets so much flack for being a Mary Sue (and other things, like the person who said that she was violent/abusive because of her first encounter with Finn) but then those people gush about so many of the male characters, who exhibit many of the same characteristics.

Basically, as you said, for me it is all about the backlash. I'm just so fucking tired of years and years of male characters being beloved and female characters being hated often for the same exact behaviors/personality/writing. And a lot of the time people feel the need to tag their hate. I really don't need to see 20 posts saying why people hate a character I like when I'm trying to find art/fic/positive things about this character. I try to look for patterns in what people say, but I admit I side eye people sometimes for disliking certain characters.

This.

Sorry op. I can't relate because all my favorite female characters are constantly being bashed for getting in the way of ships or being "useless" or "sluts."

Lmao, I'd kill to have your set of promblems.
