Yep. This is why I've always avoided aSoIaF fandom on LJ, honestly; Jon is my favorite character (and then Dany), and the amount of dislike/disdain/apathy/irritation directed at him (and Dany, really) by most of the comms I've seen (before the HBO series came out, admittedly), completely turned me off the fandom. Especially since a lot of it comes across as elitist snobbery because 'oh my god this type of character has been done so many times before, how unoriginal, Gary Stu/Mary Sue WAH'. Yeah, there's a reason it's an archetype, dudes, that doesn't mean it can't be good and told in a fresh, interesting way with a highly individual character.

I'm tired of beating my head against that wall. People hate Jon because he's on an archetypical coming of age story/he's boring/emo/whiny/entitled/clearly on to great things (wtf can you only like people if their lives look to be shit)/WHATEVER, and by now I'm just like...cool story, bro. /continues loving him for reasons that do not include 'being an over-identifying fanboy' or 'fangirl lusting after the pretty boy'.
