Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?
Before I watched that show, all I knew about it was that it might be like a crappy Twilight bandwagon show, and that tumblr ships Stiles and Derek (whoever the fuck those guys were [the buzz cut one that is the main character, and the... other one? which one is which?]). And it turned out to be unexpectedly awesome, so I was looking forward to the fandom.
And holy crap, Scott had so many moments where he fumbles because he's a nerve-wracked kid that doesn't know what he's doing, but the fandom completely exaggerates it and hates him.
"The show would be better if Scott left, or if it was Stiles who got the bite! Duh huh huh!"
All the fuck yous.
I was super glad that the second season got the ball rolling in giving Scott more of a personality that wasn't based on mooning over a girl, and even the general fandom seemed to adore him now, but then Allison is getting hate-bombed and twitter murder trending and Erica is getting crazy for wearing makeup or whatever, and meanwhile Stiles and Derek can do no possible wrongs because they're apparently angelsandAUGAEUDFGAIDGJ;GH
Just. Just Teen Wolf fandom, man. Half the time I want to kiss it for being fun and silly, but the other half I want to strangle it for being embarrassing and wrong, so wrong about everything.
Re: Characters fandom hates that you feel protective of?
What got me most was people hating on Scott for choosing to protect his own mother because in the process of doing that, he hurt Derek's ~feelings~. Not to mention people saying all sorts of horrible stuff about Allison because really, how dare she be angry at the guy who killed her mother? How dare she be taken advantage of and manipulated by Gerard when he knows she's in a highly emotional and volatile state?
I love Derek and Stiles as characters in their own right, but really, the way people are willing to vilify any other character in the fandom (apart from Isaac, apparently) to shine a positive light on Derek/Stiles/Sterek is ridiculous. What happened to loving a character because they're well-rounded, three-dimensional people with flaws, who screw up and make mistakes and, you know, prioritize the safety of their parents over the feelings of a guy they don't even really like that much?
