I’ve been on both sides of the spectrum of how I feel about Cullen. I actively disliked him before Inquisition. When he grew on me in Inquisition and I started engaging with other Cullen fans I was shocked at how KIND and generous a lot of them are. There’s such an idea in the anti Cullen circles that his fans blindly excuse his flaws because he’s handsome, and now I know that’s not true because a) I love him and I don’t blindly accept his flaws and b) I’ve never found the mythical Cullen fan Who supposedly does this
So have I. I hated him before I romanced him and he grew on me too - but I’ve never blindly excused anything wrt him. So when I first got into him I also thought what you did, that everyone was going to be like that but a lot of his fans that I’ve interacted with have their own fix-its and longfics because wow! Cullen fans have critical thinking skills, who knew.
I’m sure there’s a couple of blind fans, but that’s pretty much a guarantee to anything and anyone who has fans. And I wasn’t around when DAI first dropped so I could totally see how some overzealous fans gave the whole group a rep
But it’s not fair to lump everyone in - because I have seen more of the positive and nice fans over the blind ones
My friends in fandom now are Cullen fans and they’re super nice people and I’m glad I met them.
