Allison Argent (Teen Wolf) vs. Cersei Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones)
Allison Argent
Cersei Lannister
Remaining time: 6 days 4 hours
Propaganda below the cut:
Cersei Lannister:
Makes excellent decisions that move the plot along. No one is more stalwart in her convictions than this woman.
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
Britta Perry (Community) vs. Kim Wexler (Better Call Saul)
Britta Perry
Kim Wexler
Remaining time: 6 days 4 hours
Propaganda below the cut:
Kim Wexler:
Fandom spent years insisting she had to die because they could not imagine that she existed for a reason other than to motivate Jimmy. Fandom also acted like she was a sociopath for playing an admittedly cruel prank on Howard.
Kim is such an interesting character whose capacity for self-justification makes her all the more compelling. She basically invented Saul Goodman. Also Howard put her in doc review, so.
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
Regina Mills / The Evil Queen (Once Upon a Time) vs. Hayley Marshall (The Originals)
Regina Mills / The Evil Queen
Hayley Marshall
Remaining time: 6 days 4 hours
Propaganda below the cut:
Hayley Marshall:
People in the fandom literally talk about her as though she were just a vessel to give Klaus a baby. There’s legitimate things to criticize her for but in my experience it boils down to how dare she have the audacity to question Klaus the King of New Orleans.
I’m not even into this fandom anymore but the levels of misogyny fans direct at her is disgusting. She did a pretty good job of balancing being a good mom to Hope and holding the Mikaelson’s to some standards of decency. Not a perfect person but I usually don’t see complaints that aren’t misogynistic in nature.
Regina Mills:
The literal embodiment of evil is a man and is forgiven as soon as he says “I’m good now” even though he could see the future and manipulated her mom to be able to manipulate her enough to cast a curse, but she’s an awful person/mother when she’s basically sacrificed her life for her kid and he let his fall into a portal. I could go on.
See above - the embodiment of evil had to manipulate two generations to hurt her enough to cast the curse. She has a massive heart and has been abused her entire life. She needs a hug, cocoa, and some good therapy.
Fans hate on Regina, a Latina woman of color, for things they give the white and male characters a pass for. Fans threw tantrums whenever the 'hero' characters forgave or befriended her and insisted she should apologize to them more (when she already did and saved their lives many times over) and be deferential to the (white) characters instead of being such a 'bitch' who dares to be angry and upset about the bad things that happen to her. Fans refuse to engage with her backstory as a victim of forced marriage and insist to this day that her killing her abusive husband was wrong and a murder "in cold blood." Fans downplay her role as the co-protagonist of the show and whine when she gets focus. Fans call her an abusive mother even though she was actually a very good mother who just made a few mistakes and downplay her connection to her adopted son as less 'real' than his biological family's connection to him. But fundamentally what fandom most hates about her is that she got the redemption arc and narrative focus reserved for the Spikes and Zukos and Anakins of the world while being a woman of color.
Regina starts off as the villain of the story and ends up as the hero. In almost any other show she would have been killed off but for all its flaws OUAT knew it struck gold with her and allowed her to shine. She is also incredibly funny.
Skyler White (Breaking Bad) vs. Carol Peletier (The Walking Dead)
Skyler White
Carol Peletier
Remaining time: 6 days 4 hours
Propaganda below the cut:
Carol Peletier:
Fandom is harsher on this character than they are on male characters who take similar (or worse) action. Fan response often worsened by ageism (character is over 40 and has grey hair!!!)
Carol is a dv and sa survivor. She deserves all the love and support of fans and gets a lot, but is also frequently misunderstood and unfairly judged.
Skyler White:
she ‘got in the way’ of Walt doing murders, cooking, meth, and didn’t respect he was doing all these crimes and emotionally and physically abusing her for the ‘good of the family’. Essentially called her an evil bitch for not wanting to be exposed to danger and thinking her husband is a bad person because he couldn’t swallow his pride and take the cushy job his successful friend offered in order to pay for his cancer treatment and instead decided to cook meth and kill people. Oh and she cheated with an old flame (again because of Walt’s crime and abuse) but that’s worse I guess.
She’s literally just a normal woman who reacts to things the way a normal woman would and people lost their fucking minds about it. Hell she even helped Walt launder the money with a car wash like she set that shit all up herself and he and the fans still hated her.
obvious choice but skyler is ROUTINELY called the worst character in breaking bad and has been since like 2008. any conflict in the show and there will be people insisting she has some fault just because she "is annoying". also an eternal victim of "i don't like her because she reminds me of my mom"
breaking bad is the most fun show ever if you learn to love skyler white. her immediate suspicion of walter and constant attempts to support her family both with and against him are vindicating. she's smart, much more business savvy than him and a better liar. constantly looked down upon in-universe but explicitly uses it to her advantage at every step. she is awesome
Walter white is the worst human being in the entire show and everyone was like “she’s awful for trying to get him to stop manufacturing drugs.” Let’s not even mention the fact that he almost rapes her in the first season while she’s like eight months pregnant and no one ever talks about it ever.
She’s actually pretty cool and has the best line that no one ever quotes: “someone has to protect this family from the man who protects this family.”
She's one of THE poster children for fandom misogyny victims. People reduced her to being Walt's bitch wife as if she wasn't a) 100% in the right in every argument against him b) better at doing crime than him to an extent that's straight up hysterically funny.
As I said, she's actually really really good at doing crime and there's something inherently very entertaining about watching this completely normal housewife/office worker turning out to be really good at money laundering and negotiating with criminals and coming up with cover stories. She has a failed writing career that she appears to be using coming up with cover stories for her husband's meth dealing as an outlet for, which is also really funny. She literally writes a script for him to use. There's also a really hilarious scene where the show cuts to Skyler on the wikipedia page for "money laundering" that made me laugh really hard. We love a wikipedia warrior.
The fandom blames her for all the problems that her husband Walter faces and calls her the worst character despite there being literal nazis and cartel members in the show. They also call her a slut, bitch, etc, even though the things she's done are not even comparable to the horrific actions that the male characters do.
She is smart as hell and strong asf for putting up with Walter's bullshit. Amazing at thinking on her feet. Isn't given enough credit for her intelligence and strength
Famously called a bitch by many brba fans for simply not being cool with her husband cooking meth and killing people
Where to even start… According to fandom, cheating on the husband who refuses to divorce you is magnitudes worse than murder and running a drug empire. Every criticism of Skyler I see boils down to the "nagging housewife" trope. She's not perfectly subservient so she must be evil and terrible. And yet Walt is cool and suave… okayyyyy…
Skyler is literally a human being who reacts perfectly rationally to the situation she finds herself unwillingly facing. That old man should have died in the car wash.
Maybe the most famous victim of fandom misogyny ever. Fandom acts like she was worse than Walt because she didn't want him to make meth.
Skyler wanted what was best for her family. Unlike Walt, she truly broke bad for her family. She made tough choices, not always good ones, but she was an abuse victim in a very unusual position. She is also great at lying and schemes.
okay, we officially have brackets for the first round of the free my girl / victims of fandom misogyny tourney! if you have any questions or concerns, or you noticed any typos and other mistakes, please let me know! i'll be posting 8 polls a day starting tomorrow! polls will last a week. i'm looking forward to reading your impassioned defenses of these characters!
you just know if xander did come out as gay anya would NOT be an ally. she would be like does this mean we can't have sex anymore? and throw a fit when he said yes
she would take it soooooo personally she would be like wow so i'm not good enough for you now? women aren't good enough? and he would say it's not that anya it's just that i like men. masculine male men. and she would be like hmph! sounds misogynistic.
not to be poor on main, but if anyone can spare $75 so we can get food to last us for the next handful of days, that'd be immensely appreciated. working on some big things rn and hopefully some yield fruit. i also haven't gotten any sensitivity read offers all year, so if you're looking for the best in the business, @ me pls :(
ok enough regular fujoshi media we need to investigate how writing about men fucking is actually proxy sex between women we need a story about two womens increasingly codependent and toxic online friendship built on writing slash fiction together escalating to doing sex roleplay on instant messengers pretending to be their favorite ship to get better at writing so they can really embody the mind of the characters obviously and talking one of the women thru her divorce and their weird emotionally blurred and toxic friendship as the more talented friend keeps leveraging her popularity and control over a major fanfic site in the fandom to keep control over the rapidly deteriorating friendship and they have weird phone sex and one of them realizes they are gay for real and gets a girlfriend whos jealous of how much time shes spending online and the friendship eventually explodes and one of them goes on to get published and the other woman shows up at her book signing and its the first time they have ever seen each other face to face but only one of them knows who the other is
kelly olsen / lena luthor / andrea rojas / nanami kiryuu / utena / anthy for your choice for blorbo bingo :D
ok i'll do the cwsg ones here and then the rgu ones in a separate post !
kelly:
oh kelly i wish there was more of you for me to chew on! she doesn't even really have menty illness symptoms i just need her to stay as far away from therapy as possible given that she literally is a therapist and is always therapizing alex et al. give her some struggles give her some flaws give her anything please!!!
lena:
the fandom cannot be trusted with her and she cannot be trusted with lab equipment or shoes and a couch who knows what she will do. i like that she does get to be the main character of her own arc which is a rarity for arrowverse characters who aren't the protagonist. rare cw supergirl w
andrea:
oh andrea you are so silly and strange...s6 kind of wasted her character but she is still like a friend to me in a raccoon-fishing-through-my-garbage-can kind of way
6. Maurice from The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. My man!!! Such a fun book and he's such a fun character.
7. Jett Fillmore from Goat (2026). Maybe the coolest movie character of all time. I wish she was real </3 and, failing that, that there was more merch for her.
8. Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service. My funny little guy <3
9. Domino Boonchuy from Amphibia. I too would miss her more than my perfectly nice parents if I got trapped in frog world for 5 months.
10. Mao Mao from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Just look at his design. He's so shaped <333
