Oh I didn't meant to imply that character bashing is ever okay(especially for shipping reasons), if it happens when the lady isn't even in the fic I'm back-buttoning out so hard, never mind having her there and she's the most horrible human being ever.

I have a few slash pairs where I really like the canon lady-half but uuuugh the fandom treats her like shit and I just stopped reading fic.

I think the only one that doesn't make me raise an eyebrow when the lady isn't around is Newt/Hermann for Pacific Rim, because Vanessa isn't even in the movie, and while it's always fun to take the writer's bonus Extended Universe stuff into consideration, and while Vanessa sounds like a really cool character, it doesn't bug me if a writer decides to just not have her there. Although I've read cool stuff with Vanessa too.

But I HATE it when they make her some kind of awful person, or just flat out kill her (and sometimes the kid) to make room for Newt. Ew and gross.

I can agree to that. It's nice if an author does include Vanessa(and doesn't shit all over her) but it's not necessary when she isn't in one version of the canon, and not everyone will know about the stuff in the book. I didn't, I thought she was a fanon OC that lots of people liked or something.

Ha whenever I see fic like that I don't just backbutton I also blacklist the author, not reading anything of theirs again.

They've been doing this?!?!?!? D:< I backpeddled the fuck out of Hermann's tag when they started shitting on her for having the nerve to be a women model. they can just not write her! I imagine most fans haven't read the supplementary material or artbook!

It makes me so mad I hope she's in the next movie. At least Mr Beacham stomped down on the anti-Vanessa people and I know the fandom is having its teeth problems but jfc.

/lots of frustration with the fandom
