I understand, sort of, the alleged sexism of fans disliking female characters. But at the same time, these are female fans, right? I guess we could try to diagnose internalized sexism, but I wonder if that's readinga bit too far into it. (I'm not sure why you said "white" in reference to the slash ship, do you mean about race? That's a bit strange when most anime fandoms would have Japanese guys involved, but whatever - and bland? tell me more about your thoughts on yaoi. haha)

As far as real life goes, I'd give someone the benefit of the doubt and detach reactions to fictional characters from real life. I'd hope most people are intelligent and mature enough to be able to do that, and if they aren't, that's their own personal problem and not representative of the average fan. If they did hate someone real for such a reason, I don't think anyone would argue it IS morally wrong. But I don't think we're obliged to fictional characters in the same way. Fiction is entertainment. I don't see how hating a character for any shallow reason is "wrong" unless, as I said, there's some greater issue at hand. Again, I get bringing up the argument of sexism, but since these are female fans in question... I don't know. I don't see anything wrong with preferring to watch male characters, even imagining they are gay (whether it's true or otherwise). Again, it's just entertainment. But, again, if someone is unable to view reality and real people maturely, there is a problem, but it's theirs.
