I knew someone who was like you.. until her fav female character in one fandom was the one disliked ^

two cents:
point a) There is a difference between disliking a female character, and saying misogynistic things about them and/or having the double standards that current popular fandoms have with women (e.g., bashing them for shit the male characters are liked or getting a pass for, the over scrutinizing and exasperating nitpicking for every female characters in a male dominated fandom..)
If you just dislike a female character without having any agenda, and without saying misogynistic or sexist shit about them, then yes, it is annoying that people make straw man arguments against you and don't really read what you're saying. I feel you. That said, if your argument doesn't have any problematic elements you shouldn't justify yourself, if anything it will just make the fans find your post more suspicious.

point b) Both sides make straw man arguments. Both sides tell their own narrative of what happens in their fandom.
When I read people claiming that in x fandom 'everyone who doesn't like x character or x pair is called misogynistic/homophobic/racist' and therefore people are not 'allowed' to have opinions because of the fans' fault, I know THAT this is, in most cases, an exaggeration too. Let's not pretend that this kind of assertions aren't a straw man argument too that those who dislike the thing make to shut down unwanted opposite opinions and to play the victim card.
I have encountered a lot of people in fandoms who dislike a thing and automatically have a defensive reaction when someone disagrees with them no matter how they disagree and what they say.

TL;dr the fans of the thing gotta understand the difference I pointed up in point a, but the 'haters' of the thing gotta understand the difference between someone saying 'you are not allowed to have an opinion!' and someone just counter-arguing what you said in order to express their opinion (just like you did).
