...eh, you have a point about that.

But the reason it's such a common assumption that the more someone denies something the truer it is is that...it HAPPENS. If a fangirl DOES hate a female character because she hates girls/is jealous/doesn't want anything to get in the way of her OTP, she might not be eyerolled at any less for admitting it, but to me it's slightly less annoying than her trying to over-rationalize it.

But that's just me.

Well, then you have to look at what they're actually saying. Going so far as say that people that examine their own sexism don't become defensive is a crock. I find I have trouble 'just' disliking a female character; it gnaws at me because I worry if I'm being fair. I literally have to sit there and dissect why the character isn't working for me until I feel comfortable that I have a logical basis for it.

So after going through that thought, and saying, "No, I'm really not big on girl X because I feel like this aspect of her character is poorly done", and getting back "you just hate her because you're a fangirl" makes me want to rip my hair out. And it's happened. More than once. It becomes a matter of, "which is worse, implying that I'm just an illogical hysterical woman driven by 'romance' or 'jealousy', or disliking a fictional character?"

Point taken.

I'm not saying everyone has to examine their reasons or sexism (if they have it). I'm not even saying people are right to treat it like a crime when people dislike characters. But when it goes from "I don't like her" to "she sucks so I must bash her"? Well...
