I obviously understand people disliking characters. For whatever reasons. And most of the time I'm fine with it. But there are times that I really think there is something more behind it. Like when Ruby and Bela were announced to be appearing on Supernatural and people were already ranting about what horrible characters they were and how they would ruin the show before they had even appeared in an episode! Or when people go on about how they hate a girl character for reasons but then say they like a guy character who shares a lot of the same traits/aspects/whatever as the girl. I wouldn't say anything to anyone about their views, but I definitely have quietly unfollowed people for it.

It's tricky because a lot of this is talking about patterns, more than it's talking about any one individual person. There's absolutely a gendered pattern behind the reaction to Ruby and Bela on Supernatural. At the same time there's no reason that any individual person couldn't dislike them (personally I disliked Bela, but liked Ruby, especially once they changed actresses).
