144. I think that's the point of the OP, that women in fandom are sexist and the female part in the OTP ends up as mere placeholders for the fans themselves.

I've met plenty of straight female fans that drool over the guys but still side with the females. The Scullyistas in the XF fandom were a big example of that. I've also met gay women fans who sided with the guys. I think the OP's argument is slightly flawed, but I think yours is even more.

But my position is that that's not sexism persay - if you dislike a character's SO because you have some imagined territory over that character that is personal to you, does that mean that you hate *all women* and that's where this is coming from? The idea that women have to squabble like that to begin with may very well be rooted in sexist ideas, but it's permeated through society to the point that it happens regularly whether a person necessarily hates their own gender or not, and I'm far from the first person to observe that some girls do that.

And of course there will be exceptions, maybe even many exceptions, because plenty of women don't practice this behavior. But I'm talking about the ones who do, the rabid side of fandom that will get ridiculous over a male character because that male character is their imaginary astral plane boyfriend. For a girl attracted to other girls to watch that and say "I would take any of them, so why is none of straight fandom focusing on their awesomeness rather than the guys? they must be sexist," it's a little bizarre considering that's HER orientation, not theirs.
