I liked Darcy right up until she suddenly became popular. Now, fanon!Darcy has kind of overtaken canon!Darcy and I really don't like fanon!Darcy. I keep this to myself, though, because one of my friends in RL runs a very popular Darcy RP blog on Tumblr, and...she is the sole reason I can no longer assume that certain levels of fandom insanity are just people playing around or hamming it up for fun.

As for the Pepper-hate - I actually hadn't seen that much of it except for the aftermath of Iron Man 3, which was just a boatload of Pepper bashing. Mostly, people were pissed off at her for 'abandoning' Tony in his time of need, which had some really misogynistic and 'coddle the victim' undertones to it. -_-

Ugh, yeah, I remember how fandom reacted to that scene in IM3. Pepper had every right to freak out at what happened, and be upset with Tony for reacting to his PTSD symptoms by installing mental controls for his suit instead of telling her he had a problem. I doubt Tony would've been much more comforted if she'd stuck around for the rest of the night and he'd accidentally broken her arm in the middle of his next nightmare. Really what happened was neither of their faults, but Pepper wasn't wrong for needing some time alone where she felt safe after what happened. I don't see why that was so hard for so many fans to understand.

I guess it's a sad commentary on the state of fandom that the rational-minded among us are not surprised at just how idiotically clueless these haters can be.
