all the girlies (gn) who love the bi!buck storyline & appreciate tommy's involvement in it & enjoy where buck's at in s7 in this shiny new relationship & respect the bucktommy shippers while personally finding longterm bucktommy kind of boring & see that tommy's a sweet, sarcastic guy who the narrative is showing as slightly mismatched with buck in contrast to eddie but that that doesn't make him an inconsiderate jerk and both can be true at once & believe that buddie/gay eddie is not only possible but likely, if not already sort of canon (he fell asleep on his couch!) & are miffed at the particular bucktommy shippers who insist that buddie is not happening & love angst fics with death/severe injury/cheating but find the relish and mean spiritedness with which tommy haters are putting those out there extremely off-putting & are disconcerted with other buddie shippers' vitriol and dedication to hating tommy & can't wait for s8

Britta Perry (Community) vs. Allison Argent (Teen Wolf)

Remaining time: 6 days 15 hours
Propaganda below the cut:
Britta Perry:
not only does the fandom loathe her for things the other male characters have done, but the original writers of the show continued to dumb down and flanderise her character to appease misogynist audiences, ruining what could have been a really well made and nuanced character. it pisses me off to no end.
she is literally a pathetic little goober. shes passionate about everything in a way thats sometimes irritating and i love it. she is so stubborn and wants to do the right thing which makes her overbearing in a rly charming way. she's strong but also sensitive and cares so much about other people that she sacrifices everything she has for them OVER and OVER, and yet shes still scared that shes not a good person. she is such an interesting character, and i KNOW its a comedy but if the audience (AND showrunners) stopped treating her like only a joke character we would have room for so much amazing discussion about her depth. the main guy characters get their tender moments in so many episodes! why couldnt she have hers! ok that is all
With Britta Perry (especially in the later seasons) the MAIN "JOKE" with her character is people going "ugh Britta you are the worst" to basically anything she ever does or attempts to do. The show writers keep leaning to a "hahaha she cant sing and cant dance and shes not as sexy as another female character, can you believe she CARES about SOCIAL JUSTICE isn't that cringe????" and you as the audience are just supposed to laugh. And people seem to do so :/ Britta Perry I will love you forever
Allison Argent:
Fandom hated Allison and made #KillAllison trend on Twitter for…reasons? I think they were mad she got indoctrinated by her parents briefly? Who knows.
Allison grew up with parents who hated werewolves and hunted them but she turned their code around and used it to protect people and fell in love with a werewolf.
i'll be honest all my friends in high school said she was annoying which is not really a fandom wide event. however i believe she is a worthy candidate as a main character turned fridged woman
beautiful headstrong girl you will live forever in valhalla
This sweet girl resists familial indoctrination and her own need for closure and revenge after the death of her mother at age seventeen and chooses to do the right thing. Chooses to end a legacy of cruelty and turns her own moral compass toward protecting the vulnerable. She was manipulated and had her grief exploited by a fully grown adult and after realizing it she chose to be better. She didn't hide, she stood and fought.
AND she didn't fell into the trap of equating strength with masculinity or the idea that she had to give up her femininity in order to be powerful. "Can't I be strong and go to prom?"
Allison lost the people that she loved (her role models!) and her sense of self multiple times in the course of a single year and she came out of it all kinder and fiercer than she was going in.
I just spent a silly amount of time trying to track down receipts and proof and was then like "… this show came out years ago," so Allison Argent propaganda based on my memory of the height of Teen Wolf madness:
- People complained that Scott (Allison's boyfriend) was in love with her and spent time with her (AKA "was obsessed with her"), to the extent that a lot of fanfic would make a joke out of it, like "Oh, Scott's off somewhere being OBSESSED with Allison."
- One time Allison talked shit to one of the fan favs (Derek) and the fans lost their minds and got insanely pissed off about it. (I don't remember the context, but I do remember being like, "Allison was right though").
- Basically every time Allison did anything against Derek specifically (which was a decent amount of the time because she was from a werewolf hunter family and Derek was a werewolf), fans would get pissy about it and if I remember correctly they got #KillAllison trending on Twitter a couple of times.
- Then when the show actually did kill Allison off, the fandom pretended like they always loved Allison because they were cool with her now that she was dead and couldn't go on dates with Scott or talk shit about Derek.
Hen Wilson (9-1-1) vs. Edelgard von Hresvelg (Fire Emblem)
Hen Wilson
Edelgard von Hresvelg
Remaining time: 6 days 15 hours
propaganda below the cut:
Hen Wilson:
Constantly overlooked by the fandom in favor of men, and when people do focus on her it's all about how she helps the m/m ship du jour get together, or supports them, or guides a man in his sexuality discovery. People outside the fandom are constantly being bombarded with the noncanon ship between two white (passing) men, and never even hear about the Black lesbian main character. The OG animals facts girlie but everyone gives that trait to her (white) male coworker.
BADASS Black lesbian firefighter who joined the crew at a time when it was rife with racism and misogyny. Had to fight three times as hard to earn her place and boy did she! Multifaceted, makes devastating mistakes, lashes out, is sososo compassionate, funny, and the smartest character on the show! And her wife is so hot
Hen is a main character who has been in a lesbian relationship since the very first episode(!!!), and yet it's only when the white male lead comes out as bi that fandom celebrates how wonderfully queer the show is and put his face on all the fandom Pride events and artwork! I guess it's not queer rep until it's a white man doing it…
Hen is brave, kind, has a huge heart, makes mistakes, loves, laughs… She's such a wonderful and vibrant character and she doesn't deserve to be overlooked by both the writers and the fandom!
Fandom turns her into a cheerleader for their fave m/m ship, usually Buddie but sometimes Bucktmmy (the latter being especially crazy considering her history with Tommy). Fans also hated on her for what she said about feeling like no one supported her after Bobby died because Buck made her fill out a grief checklist one time, even though that speech (while maybe not super supported by the previous episodes) had very clear subtext about her being the only black woman at her workplace.
Hen is a friend to all animals and is extremely messy in her personal life, two great qualities for any character.
fandom refuses to give her the same rich inner live her male coworkers have, because she's just allowed to be the mothering, wise, funny black woman. it's not that fans hate her, they proclaim to love her, but everytime she gets a storyline they complain. everytime she behaves like a human being, with flaws, on the show they complain. anyone's guess whether that's misogyny, racism or misogy-noir
Henrietta fucking Wilson, smartest person you'll ever know (except for her rocket scientist wife) is a firefighter/paramedic, she is badass, she's a mom, she's a lesbian, she's a great friend and she has this incredibly dry wit sometimes. she has flaws, she's stubborn, she tries so hard not to burden anyone that it's burdening, she makes decisions and takes the fall for them. she!!!
This is a complicated answer but here's my thesis. Hen (main character) is sometimes (sometimes!) not served that well by the canon, and I think it's because they are (since s1) afraid to let a black lesbian character be too messy. But this is about fandom, not canon. And she does have some really juicy storylines. And what I have noticed is that fans love to hate the show and they like to say Because Hen Has No Story as one of the reasons. And then when Hen has a juicy story, many of these some fans will insist it's Bad Actually and will come up with some of the most convoluted nonsensical reasons the storyline is objectively bad, when they are in fact clearly just upset their fave didn't get more attention that ep, but they can't say that because that would be racist and they are Not Racist, you see. So some really fun and interesting stories gets crickets at best and torn up and discarded at worst and sucks.
She marches to the beat of her own drum. She's compassionate and kind and brilliant. She's Judging You. She is SUCH a good friend. She is constantly celebrating people and making sure they feel appreciated. She had a really cool villain foil in s5 and nobody ever talks about how good it was. She loves animals. She's had to carve out her place wherever she goes. She has excellent intuition and she's daring and kind of egotistical about her ability to save lives with risky ad hoc medical hail marys. It's hard to sum her up, she's been here 9 seasons. In some ways the family dynamics of the team started with her.
I am a big gay dyke and I've had multiple (three) people recommend me 911 (before I started watching) on the basis that there is queer rep and the queer rep in question that three (THREE!) people went out of their way to mention to me (lesbian) was BUCK. NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE LESBIAN!! WHO WAS IN IT AND MARRIED FROM THE BEGINNING!
Edelgard von Hresvelg:
DIMITRI FANS BLAME HER FOR GENOCIDE(?!) AND RUINING HIS LIFE AS HIS EVIL STEPSISTER. SHE WAS LITERALLY SEVEN
she is one of the most interesting, complex, and tragic figures in the game, but people frequently flatten her into a militaristic fascist and treat her as unrepentantly evil because she’s the main antagonist on most of the game’s routes, even though it’s clear that many of the other characters agree with her goals, just not her methods.
she is a beautiful, tragic, complex woman, and the single most interesting and nuanced character in the game. if she wasn’t, the game’s entire plot would fall apart.
All of Dimitri's short comings and mistakes are waved away/excused as being symptoms of his PTSD. Meanwhile Edelgard's trauma and the clear signs of her C-PTSD are ignored to instead label her as an irredeemable bitch.
Edelgard comes from a game where every main character is meant to be morally ambiguous but hmm for Some Reason edelgard isn't given the same grace as her male peers, I wonder why. If she were a man, she would dominate the fandom with no competition. Like it is that obvious.
Also, she gets hit with the misogyny mallet on both sides like most women, the "she's the source of all evil in the world" and "she did absolutely nothing wrong!" which while well meaning, still reduces her character down. She DID do wrong things, they all do! That's the Point. She's meant to be as complex as her male peers but fandom refuses to give her that complexity (and again, they would be frothing at the mouth over her and her complexity if she were a man)
She is from the "choose your favourite war criminal" game, they're all supposed to have very questionable flaws. But she isn't given nearly as much grace by the fandom as the popular male characters are.
where are you right in front of you i just think that if you have something to tell eddie youll tell him in your own time competition with who its not nothing it wouldnt be so crazy isnt that what you want in a partner someone to have your back hell yeah brother you could have my back any day you dont find it son you make it there's no one in the world i trust with my son more than you because evan are you hurt so we can end up with two cut lines who the hell is that heard some dick was being mean to you in love with eddie?
