not in the fandom but

For me that attitude of the fandom bothers me because, welp think of it this way a character is being considered un-critcizeable because they're a woman.

Isn't that well kind of sexist in it's own way?

I dislike the idea that being a woman makes any criticism of a character "just bashing by those gross misogynists".

Also it gets a step closer to another sentiment I've seen that a woman can't face the consequences of their own actions that would misogyny" (*nods at the secret AAAAAAAAAAAAGES ago about how "calling Regina from Once Upon a Time a rapist is so groooooss and a sign of misogyny"*)

A character is not above criticism for being a woman. Now if the criticism is misogynistic in nature or the critic doesn't hold a man to the same standard THEN it's misogyny. If the "criticism" turns into creepy sexist bashing THEN it's misogyny.

But just disliking or criticizing a character who happens to be female...no.

Yeah, but if you go in the Skyler White tag on tumblr (like I do) 95% of the "criticism" towards her is just calling her a whore, cunt or bitch.

So....

They're not making a great case for Skyler haters not being misogynistic.

That's true.

and yeah I agree that THAT is really awful. Then again I've just been on the Fuck Yeah Controversial Characters tumblr and come out with the conclusion that a lot of haters cite stupid reasons for hating characters.

Yeah yeah yeah, but it's often HOW the otherwise valid criticism is done.

That's true.

A possibly good point can be ruined by bad presentation. I see it ALL the time online.
