Yeah yeah funny joke. But in all seriousness, I'd say this sort of writing is a result of paper-thin characterization in canon, mixed with good old-fashioned fan sexism.
Feferi and Sollux are both really thinly characterized as hell compared to the other trolls (and Feferi, especially, has had shit-all screen time). Sollux, however, is a boy and that makes him attractive enough to the fanbase that he can be a blank slate for its collective desires. Meanwhile no one gives enough of a crap about Feferi to write her as anything besides Sollux's girlfriend. (Besides the slash contingent, which just pretends she doesn't exist.)
Shit sucks I guess? In all honesty I find Fef really boring myself ¯\(º_o)/¯

(Anonymous) 2011-05-17 12:33 am (UTC)(link)Maybe I identified too much with it, though, because when I read that I had my own Eridan on my tail and watching her jump of victory after it was over gave me courage to just get it over with .___.

It was also pretty much her only character-defining moment. As opposed to pretty much everyone else's several moments - e.g. Karkat bawling when Sollux got fakeout killed and later when Kanaya died; all of what Vriska did to Tavros culminating in his murder; all of what Tavros got done to him by Vriska culminating in his murder; even gag-character Equius looking like he was getting up some guts to stand up for his friends only to succumb to his bullshit bigoted ideals and die for them. Pretty much the only character who hasn't had such a moment is, coincidentally, Sollux.
And the one event that could have given her another moment to shine ended with her getting
fridgedkilled, so...Maybe it's just a consequence of her being introduced so late. I dunno.
