Seriously, Fandom Secrets, why can't I quit you!?

My internet was out all day yesterday.  I should have taken that as a sign to not go to Fandom Secrets.  But I just did.

Goddamn it, 147 is making my blood boil.  I guess fandom will never let a character live its mistakes down, so long as they have a vagina.  And that "She got a little better near the end" bull all over the place didn't help matters at all.

I want to write crack to remind myself of Anzu's awesomeness.  Ideas?

It seems in fandom, if the guys makes mistakes, they're recognized as layered and interesting characters. But, if a female character makes a mistake, it's OMG unforgivable!

The moment women act like flawed human beings, they get trashed by fandom.

I'm glad I've recently been looking into One Piece fandom because it's actually sane and it loves the female characters.

Sanity is becoming an extremely rare commodity these days.
