Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

+1.

I really don't get the stanning for characters like the ones on BE or Mad Men. They're all portrayed as morally grey in their shows, and yet there are Betty stans angry at people who seem to like Don better, Peggy stans upset at Pete stans and so on. I mean, I'd be able to sympathize more if it was a fandom like Torchwood, where people hate on Gwen (and, by extension, Eve Myles) for silly reasons, but not so much like BE.

but the thing is... among the morally grey characters, the male ones still are cut more slack.
Using one of your own examples, Pete has blackmailed his boss, raped a woman and cheated on Trudy several times. Peggy slept with a married man once, and it nearly ruined her life. You can't tell me that regarding him as a better person is not a double standard.

Technically she slept with him twice. Just saying.

In fairness, a lot of us blocked that out.

I'm a fan of Peggy Olson, but I'm pretty sure I acknowledge the fact that she's not a perfect human being. I just love her character so much. (Hoping this is what stanning means anyway, welp!)
