In my fandom (on tumblr at least) the vast majority of the fans happily support the female characters and cast because they are typically amazing. However, we DO discuss instances of crappy writing (one woman is fridged; two others are pit against each other to fight over a man for no reason other than ~drama~). Along comes a holier-than-thou fan who digs through people's archives to find anything at all that might be negative about any of the female characters, and then she makes broad, unfounded statements in posts: "So-and-so is misogynist!! I'm so grossed out by her! I used to love her but now I'm disappointed!!" and when people ask her why she says "I can't say why because I don't want to get dogpiled!!" UGH.

It's not that she's a feminist that bothers me, because I consider myself one too. It's that she's using the mask of feminism to stir shit where shit doesn't need to be stirred.

This. I've encountered way too many people in my own fandom who seem to think that you're misogynist if you think of the main female character as anything other than a perfect flawless queen despite the major issues with the way she's written (her character development comes to a standstill in favor of making her into the Token Love Interest - the worst part is that she'd had a lot of great character development in the beginning and if the writers had just kept on going with that, she would've been awesome).

The real kicker is that the majority of the people I've talked to don't have any dislike for her as a character, they're just unhappy with how she was treated by the writing. The other female characters get tons of love.

This. We've got one of those in my fandom too, and all of her (previously good) fic is now heavy-handed ~issue!fic. She also likes to post about how other segments of the fandom hate her and pick on her in private but refuses to produce any evidence of this.
