OP needs to consider that just because these guys are boring to them, they're obviously not boring to everyone. Rather than another round of the woke version of "stupid fangirls," how about promoting and hyping up the characters you do like? Write fic about them! Draw art of them! Talk about why they're great and help motivate more people to make content about them!

I agree that there's no need to do a whole "woke fangirls" thing about any of this. People like what they like. However I'm also strongly skeptical that doing any of the things you recommend here is likely to actually result in any kind of meaningful change in anything. People like what they like.

AYRT

Every big fandom has at least a few people who are devoted to some secondary characters. It's not as many as the big faves and juggernaut pairings of course - and it does nothing to stop being into that (which is a futile and pointless goal anyway) but it does lead to at least a little bit more content being made about the underappreciated characters, and a few more people to enjoy talking about them with.

That's assuming OP really does want more fanwork about underrated characters and isn't just getting a self-righteousness high from judging others, of course.

Right, if you jump up and down and yell and sweat and put a ton of work into it, you might get like 3 or 4 people into your fave. It'll still be a radically different experience from someone who has shared taste with most of fandom and gets an endless fountain of content about their faves. And that sucks and is always going to suck whether your fave has 6 fans or 2 fans

No one's doing anything wrong here but it does suck.

+1000 yes this

Clearly they're not boring to everyone, or they wouldn't be fandom juggernauts. I get that. The annoying part is the pattern itself, not the individual choices. White guy who's a little pathetic at some point in the show, regardless of importance to the plot? ALL OVER FANDOM SPACES.

I absolutely hype up the characters I love, but to get to their content, I have to skim past so. much. of the same. fucking. guys.
