(Anonymous) 2013-12-22 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)Oh no, it's all good - and you're right there are times when that is the case [people claiming that valid, reasonable posts are over-defensive.]
The situation I was talking about was people actively claiming that in response to people not liking a female character who openly abused the one of the two people she's shipped with, and said character is obviously worried enough about it that just the threat of abuse from her makes him react strongly in a way that's obviously scared of her. That turned a lot of people off the ship, and a character as a whole because...well. Abuse. Plus that abusive trait was something that tended to get played up about the character in fandom works, albeit as a joke. But a ton of people loved the character and ship [and, in fairness, the character was an otherwise fun character] and bunch of those people started claiming/attacking anyone who admitted to not shipping it as sexist even though the majority of people's reasoning was related to the abuse.
Now, while I'm sure some people didn't like because of sexist reasoning, the fact the first response for a lot of people was "You're sexist!" was...not okay, and I've seen the same thing to varying degrees in other fandoms - though those times are usually on tumblr*, so I tend to take it with a grain of salt.
*Original fandom I mentioned was all on livejournal at the time
