Yeah I've seen male characters get shat on more than you'd think in het fandoms, but it does get largely overlooked even though the reasons for the hatred are exactly the same that female characters can get.

People just don't like having their ships broken up and can get really nasty about it.

Mmhm. In some fandoms, if the woman is with a man in canon, but the shippers want her with another male character instead, they often turn the man she's already romantically involved with into a violent, abusive creep as a means to get her to leave and go be with the character they ship her with. Doesn't matter if the man she's with in canon is actually a really sweet and cool guy, they'll still make it that way regardless.

It's not a trope I'm a fan of. To me it's just such a simplistic way to get the third party out of the way ('cause god forbid a relationship just kind of naturally break up and the people quietly drift apart), and the whole, "Man swoops in to rescue a woman from an abusive relationship and then they live happily ever after" thing has iffy implications in its own right. But it's a very common type of story, that's for sure.

It happens to dudes in m/m fandom too.

I like House/Chase but I gave up after about 90% of the fic I clicked on had Wilson either entirely missing from the universe, or he was a toxic abusive evil ex who caused all of House's problems.

Oh definitely, I've seen it myself too and it's annoying as hell.

The worst part is when the characters in question are actually friends in canon but fandom makes them out to be bitter enemies or rivals. I don't care what type of fandom it is(het, slash, femslash) it never fails to bug me.
