I hate JJ stans just as much as I hate Reid stans
*Keep in mind that "stan" is very different from "fan." Fan where you enjoy a character normally is fine. Stan is when you're obsessive and annoying about a character to the point of insulting others personally.
I know that Criminal minds people are well familiar with how annoying Reid stans can be whenever they coddle him, excuse his mistakes, or hate on anyone who's against him. But can we also talk about how insane JJ stans can be?
Granted it's to a lesser degree since JJ is generally not as popular as Reid but it still annoys me whenever a JJ stan calls someone a misogynist just because they don't enjoy her character. Like it's okay to find her bland or say that she's not your cup of tea.
Imo, the people who say that non-JJ fans are misogynists are the ones that are more misogynist. They're literally treating JJ differently because she's a woman. Like you wouldn't see anyone calling someone who dislikes Hotch, Morgan or Reid a misandrist. Treat JJ like any other character please.
Of course, there are instances where people are 100% misogynist against JJ. But I've barely seen anyone who actually just hate her because she's a woman. Most of the criticism I see is because of how she's written as a character or how she acts.
These JJ stans also excuse her behavior a lot of times. I've seen people blame Will for being mad that JJ was keeping their relationship a secret or even making stuff up and blaming Reid for the whole stupid confession in "Truth or Dare."
This is the exact same behavior of Reid stans defending Reid's emotional mess in "Memoriam."
Yet nobody calls them out the same way they do for Reid stans!?
Anywho, sorry for the rant but I find it so frustrating when people hide behind the "misogynist" excuse for disliking JJ. It makes enjoying JJ's character much harder. I already kinda find her annoying at times and her stans are not helping.
Actually you know what, I hate all stans of all types.
