Just a message to the Fandom...
So this @onlyonewoman person has decided to call most, if not all, of us out for simply doing what everyone in every Fandom does - imagining a world where your favorite character from your favorite show is not only emotionally available but also capable of love.
We all tend to find ourselves attracted to the damaged bad boys, because it means maybe we can crack into their tough exteriors and explore the loving, compassionate side of them that they, and all human beings, have.
I just want everyone in the SoA Fandom to know that this woman is NOT a true fan of the show. She can't be, not if she's willing to blindly accept actors' analyses of their characters and someone at screenrant who probably only watched the show once's opinions over what's actually in the text.
Jax Teller loved his mother, his club, his sons, and his wife tremendously, he cried for them on multiple occasions. Chibs Telford loved his brothers and his daughter with everything inside of him, he cried for them on multiple occasions. Happy Lowman loved his club, Jax especially; he also loved his aunt, and he loved his mother so much he sold drugs on the street to try and support her before being locked up. Tig Trager loved his club, his brothers, Gemma, his daughters, and Venus so much that he CRIED for them on multiple occasions, including visiting Dawn's grave just to lay there and cry and apologize profusely to her for what he'd done to cause her death; he hurt for them and his mistakes. I can sit here and do this for every character, seriously, even Clay. The list goes on and on. These guys were not PSYCHOPATHS or SOCIOPATHS, they were men, most of whom were traumatized by war, who came back to a country where they weren't appreciated and couldn't make ends meet inside the bounds of the law, so they turned to outlawing to stay alive. They learned to justify their actions based on "kill or be killed" and they did their best to stick to that. These were not just robotic killers with no remorse for their actions, they were men who had hearts and who only killed when absolutely necessary - to save themselves or their families.
PLEASE do not allow her narrowminded views on our beloved SAMCRO boys and how they should be written, dictate how you express yourself. And by all means, if you are imagining any of the boys doing human being things because they are human beings DO NOT tag it 'crack' just because one idiotic individual wants it to be that way.
Oh, and in closing, @onlyonewoman - shipping Ron Tully with Juice Ortiz will ALWAYS be disgusting. You cannot ship a rapist with his victim. Period. You also cannot say things like 'shipping Juice and Tully is more realistic than shipping reader/character' and you damn sure cannot say that RAPING AN INNOCENT UNSUSPECTING MAN IN PRISON is less of a moral offense than one outlaw killing another outlaw.
