Most of the people I've come across in fandom don't condone or enjoy Jackson's behaviour toward Lydia at all. Jackson and Lydia are actually my favorite characters and I think their relationship is an interesting one, but I also think it's extremely unhealthy and I do not want them to get back together at all. Not that that's a problem so much anymore with Colton leaving the show, but still.

I think the reason why the criticisms of Stiles' behaviour seem more prevalent is because the way Jackson acts is for the most part shown as being shitty in the show, as well, but the way Stiles acts toward her is generally passed off as "quirky" or cute.

All of this. Maybe because the Stiles 'Nice Guy' thing was recent in F!S OP got that impression? In other parts of fandom though I've seen more about how awful it would've been if the writers got Jackson and Lydia together again.

Yeah this. Stiles is far more popular than Jackson in the first place, so some of it is a backlash against the Stiles popularity, kind of a "look guys he's really not that great" thing.

And there are those fans on Tumblr (I've seen them myself) who do genuinely think that Stiles' behavior toward Lydia is cute and romantic and she should totally love him because of how much he adores her. So some of it is reaction toward that also.

Yeah, I think part of it is definitely related to Stiles' popularity. I love him as a character, but there are a number of fans who seem to think he's perfect and write off or pointedly ignore his flaws. I think that makes a lot of people a bit more harsh in the way they go about pointing out his bad points because they're just sick of hearing about it.

And yeah, I've seen more people who go on about how the way Stiles acts with Lydia is adorable than I've seen people who think that the way Jackson acts around Lydia is cute or romantic.
