watch me get cancelled for this but here it is. i don’t like how a large majority of the fandom went from viewing jeanine as this sweet bisexual girl who grew up hopelessly in love with andrew (and then people usually ship her with evelyn too but not always) to viewing her as this mean lesbian. don’t get me wrong, i have always viewed jeanine as a lesbian and i love that other people also see what i do but it just feels like everyone’s whole perception of her changed with her sexuality. like it buys into the stereotype that lesbians hate men far too much. if jeanine does hate men, that’s because she has been spoken over by them her whole life. not because she is a lesbian. i’m not saying that this is everyone and i know that lesbians make jokes about it (myself included) but i just thought that it was something that nonlesbians maybe need to think about.

I will not sit here and deny any alligation of Jeanine’s ways throughout the series. They were wrong and I’m sure you will all agree with me on this. However, we shouldn’t use all her wrong doings to characterise her as a mean lesbian. Her mistakes have no influence whatsoever on her sexuality so please keep that in mind. I would also like to stress that she is a fictional character created by Veronica and therefore we do not know the full story of the character, especially since she is the anatgonist of the first two books and is there to simply stand in the way of Tris. 

Yeah, I get that people can see all characters in their own individual ways. If someone thinks shes a ‘bitch’ then please, be respectful regarding your opinion. The main objective in this original post was to point out that people need to stop being so lesbophoibic. This may not apply to you but it will apply to some.
