Oh yeah, I mean that's a rampant issue with most straight-female-dominated fandom in general, because it inevitably leads to slash which also inevitably attracts people who are there for the wrong reasons and/or taking out their internalised shit on other women. And if it's as prevalent in the fandom as you say, then I don't blame people for associating it with the ship, but I do think the reaction of instant rage as soon as the ship is mentioned might be a bit much. On one hand I know everyone's patience wears thin eventually, on the other it's one of the biggest ships in the fandom, so the probability of there being a variety of people, nuts and not-nuts, liking the ship, is high (help, I can't stop using commas).

If we look at the source material, it has a horrendous track record with female characters, and that was an issue before fans had much influence on the writers. So I'm not really surprised there is so much misogyny in the resulting fandom.

That said, it annoys me that 1. There are crazy people and 2. They give everyone a bad name to the point where people automatically react with rage.
