I know there aren't that many people in fandom that do that, but the majority of those that do are the loudest of the bunch and I don't think they realize what they're doing. Or they do, but try to hide behind their double standard. For me, Veronica Mars was a show that was showing us those kinds of mistreatment of women and I would have thought that fans would have picked up on that. Look at all the shit Veronica has gone through, you know? She has her flaws sure but every single character had their flaws. Look at Keith and what he tried to do in the third season with that married woman. Turn the tables and had it been Veronica in that position, people would be far harsher on her than on Keith. Or Logan, even though he cheated on Veronica with freaking Madison and people were angry at Veronica for yelling and accusing him. I just, yeah. It just astounds me how fandom dismisses or refuses to acknowledge that kind of double standard bias they hold sometimes. I see it all the time.
There are plenty of of levelheaded fans out there. We're just not as vocal, which I think we should be. You know, to balance out the crazy in fandom. :)
