Secret 12 - Shingeki no Kyojin, Attack on Titan; Levi (character) oversaturation in fandom
It really makes me uncomfortable that a character like Levi of Shingeki no Kyojin has this massive fanbase that almost completely dominates everything else in the fandom. Not that I am surprised (he fits the formula fangirls drool over) but it's just become an annoyance to me that not even Tumblr Savior can push over the rug and out of my sight.
He is half of the three most popular shippings (Ereri, Eruri, Levihan) that completely overshadow any other shippings and it's mostly smut or portraying Levi as this seductive, horny sex fiend. At least that's all I see of these pairings filtered over to my corners of fandom, I don't go looking for it.
It's either that or essays about Levi writing thousands of words in his defense on how he is some kind of tragic hero. And I kinda hate the anime for trying to paint him that way when in the manga he is just a grumpy guy whose seen a lot of shit. Definitely not this sentimental soul who hides behind a cold exterior his fans make him out to be.
I'm not a prude who doesn't like Not Safe For Work nor is there anything about his character that intrinsically bothers me. It's just the fact that I do not see him the way his fandom sees him and I'm forced to see him as a tragic hero sex fiend who always has rough hate sex with Erwin and loves to make Eren his uke (ugh). The fact that you can't even look at Eren or Hanji fanart without Levi all up in their business eighty percent of the time is beyond annoying. [annoyed face emoticon]
