Should Be Sleeping

So I got side-tracked on TV Tropes, and have come up to realise that everything I believe about the world is horribly wrong. For example, a list of characters hated by most if not all fans:

Dawn Summers, Rose Tyler, River Song, Jenny, Gwen Cooper, Dylan Hunt, Sage/Tessa, and Abby Lockhart.

I'm also supposed to hate some of my favourite story lines.

I feel like I missed a poll somewhere.

That is why I find myself not to active in fandom outside of my flist. I rarely hit Torchwood comms because of the Gwen bashing. I remember after I watched the first series of Torchwood, I thought Gwen was the most fantastic thing since sliced bread, and was shocked to find how many people hate her. I love Rose and Gwen both dearly. Apparently I am doing fandom wrong!

Apparently a lot of people don't like Donna either... which is just -flails-

The list was about 70% female characters. I'm just not in fandom anymore.

Also, they compared Sage, who is awesome, to Wesley Crusher because only the creator likes her and no one else. -sighs-

That makes no sense to me at all. Were they not even watching the show??

I had that discussion with a flister in terms of Gwen and Sara from CSI. My brain went to thinking it was sort of sexism, really. Why can male character seem to get away with the BS that female character's can't? Gwen and Sara get attacked by fans for a lot of things that they guys do in equivalent, yet it's okay for them to do it... what, because they are guys? I dunno, there's a full fledged rant in there somewhere, I just have to think it through, lol.

Don't know anything about the Marvel verse anymore really... but I do know I was madly in love with Wesley for most of my elementary school years. But I am strange, lol.

I DON'T KNOW!

I don't know CSI very well, but always thought Sara was pretty nifty.

I thin you're right. Like Sage is a really good example. She's basically a bad ass computer geek with control issues, who really runs the team because she controls the information (think Oracle, only a lot harder and with more sarcasm). If she were a male character, she'd have fans like woah!

I never really cared about Wesley one way or the other.
