Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[tasogare_n_hime]

I hate when female characters are bashed for any reason, but shippers no matter what way they ship always seem to be the worst from what I've seen.

I hate when female characters are bashed for any reason

Even if it's actually justified?

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[(Anonymous)]

I thought the meaning of bashing was that it wasn't justified? Criticism =/= bashing.

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[fenm]

Ah, that could be. But in that case, isn't bashing any character bad?

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[tasogare_n_hime]

I don't like any characters being bashed, but this thread seemed female character specific.

Edit to add: and by this thread I mean the one starting with;
I feel uncomfortable when fandom bashes a female character who's getting in the way of their slashy OTP.

IDK, I just don't get it - you can have your delicious manlove without having to attack other characters.

Not the entire thread

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[fenm]

Fair enough. (-:

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[intrigueing]

Erm...I think that way of thinking is actually kinda sexist, to not judge a character on her personal merits, and judge her solely on her gender.

I do understand having a knee-jerk "yeeeeaahh...I'm gonna check this out myself before I believe that you're bashing this female character because she's a gigantic douchebag, rather than because she's female" reaction though.

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

This.

+1

[brightblueink]

This. I understand that female character bashing can be particularly bad in fandom, but there's nothing wrong with disliking a character based on his or her merits as a character (or simply just not liking a certain character trait).

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[tasogare_n_hime]

...I thought there was a difference between bashing, and just disliking a character. Apparently I was wrong.

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[(Anonymous)]

I thought so too...like bashing would be "omg she's such a slut!!", disliking would be like..."I find them problematic/they just rub me wrong"

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[spicandspan89.livejournal.com]

Some people equate any criticism with bashing. :-/

Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?

[intrigueing]

Ah, forgive me if I misunderstood! It's just that you specified bashing of female characters. If you don't like any character bashing period, that's different from being fine with bashing male characters but not fine with bashing female characters.

(Personally, I hate character-bashing of all kinds — even when I think it'd be fun to bash a really crappy/easy-to-make-fun-of character, I wind up feeling guilty. ;))
