Yeah, but most of the characters hated on are female. It's great that you've found places in the fandom that don't react like that (and I would agree that while Cersei has some definite issues that I would totally understand people not liking her as a character, the amount of hate Cat gets for stuff that isn't even on par with Cersei is ridiculous), but I'm still seeing all the time gendered insults thrown at almost all of the female characters, while uplifting the males.

Take one stroll into Westeros.org and you'll see what I mean (although seriously don't if you've found a safe place in fandom, it's not worth it).

I just think 90% of the characters are likeable to me, because I can understand their motivations and they're fully realized characters... doesn't mean they're likeable as people or anything, but especially since Cersei's position has a lot to do with the way she is fighting against the misogynistic backdrop in the books (like her ideas getting co-opted by Tyrion and her paranoia being justified... because she was right) and a lot of the arguments I do see aren't about the bad things she does, but the bad things that people feel she does as a woman or a mother, which is where the problem is for me.

westeros.org shouldn't even be mentioned in mainstream convos, the same way 4chan or reddit isn't. they don't deserve to count.
