Even after being in fandoms for a few short years, I'm still continually amazed by how differently episodes, scenes and even characters are interpreted.

Before online fandom, I was never really aware that shows had so many different factions of people. How hated some characters were, and how loved others were. Yes, I was naive enough to think that most people probably felt the same way I did when watching a show! But I was quite young, so it's understandable.

This has never been so blindingly obvious to me as reading reviews for the new season of Doctor Who. And even S2 of the show.

Just a small bit involving S3, minor spoilers, nothing huge... )

I'm not even paying attention to the Torchwood fandom right now because all the Gwen hate kinda hurts. She was a problematic character, but dude. The hate is so voluminous that I can almost feel it myself.

And for now, you couldn't pay be enough to touch the SGA fandom with a ten-foot pole.

Okay, this post wasn't what I set out for, so I'm done.

SEVERE LANGUAGE LIES AHEAD

If somebody doesn't like a character that you happen to adore, why can't you just suck it up and get over it?  I'm sure you hate a character that I love.

It's fucking frustrating that some people can't get over the fact that people have opinions, that people don't feel all the same thing.

I don't like Kara from BSG, GET THE FUCK OVER IT, it's not something new, I haven't really liked her starting from the first season.  She's okay.  I love Lee, he's been my favorite since the first episode of season one.  But, I like their relationship because they have semi-real problems (I say that because I really don't know anyone who's in love with their dead fiance's brother or their dead brother's fiance).  The rift that's between the two now, do I blame one over the other?  Not really, Kara does hurtful things, BUT SO DOES LEE, my character love doesn't get in the way of knowing that.  So don't get pissy because I don't like your favorite character.  I don't hate her, but she's not at the top of my favorites list.

I didn't like season two Rose from DW.  GET OVER IT.  She was a better character in season one and her arc in S2 was annoying, pissed me off, and regressed.  I'm also not a big fan of Ten, he's not cute, sexy, charming or whatever.  He's a bastard(which for me does not go in his favor) with little going his way.  I love Nine, and my bias shows.  Not everyone can like every single Doctor, don't like it, fine, don't talk to me and don't complain in public about WHY OH WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE TEN??!!  Who the fuck cares, it's people's own choice to feel what they feel.  I don't hate the guy, he just wasn't well written and it shows, IMHO.

Please don't get me started on Ten/Rose.  Again, my view on them is my own opinion.

Also, what the fuck is the point of hating a character we haven't met?  It's happened in a couple fandoms I know.

Rodney McKay from SGA, IMHO, is not the bestest character in the whole world, I'm so sorry to say.  (not really)  He's not my favorite character, in fact 7/10 times he annoys the fucking hell out of me.  I don't not get the McShep thing, it's actually kinda weird for myself to try and ship them because IMO, they bicker like brothers.  Elizabeth is my favorite character because she's a strong leader, knows how to handle herself, she makes the calls, and is incrediably brave and strong.  And really very pretty.  John comes in second, and that's really no surprise.

Yes, I'm a Sparky shipper.  Damn proud of it.

Also, I really don't get the irrational hatred of a character because they threaten your 'ship.  What's with the Sheyla (or the McShep?) shippers hating Elizabeth, maybe my venture into the fandom is limited, but I really haven't seen much bad mouthing of Teyla by the Sparky shippers.  Of course, maybe if they were to actually make a character out of Teyla, people would have a better opinion of her.

Being in a fandom is fun, the debates and even the hate can sometimes make me enjoy the show more but then I get my feathers ruffled and I have to let it out.  I've said it before, and I'm still baffled.  Why oh why don't people understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion?  Just like you are.  You want to complain about what I'm saying, please do so, let me know what I'm getting wrong, it's fine.  Just like you can express yourself however you like, so can I.  I'm here complaining about people complaining.  I'm not be a hypocrite because I know that you'll continue to do so.  I just would like people to know, NOT EVERYONE SHARES THE SAME VIEWPOINTS.

I'm not attacking anyone.  I'm expressing.  Did I contradict myself?  Probably, did I say something that makes me a hypocrite?  I wouldn't be surprised.  I sometimes have trouble expressing myself.
