Nyota Uhura:

THE quintessential "got together with my favourite male character/half of my favourite gay ship so she must be sidelined/turned into an evil bitch/turned into a supportive fujo with no personality of her own/turned into a lesbian with no speeking lines". I have seen literally all of these done time and time and time again in fics and posts and art and it's so exhausting. Unfortunately the source material (star trek aos) already destroyed her original (tos) character by turning her into a girlboss who's dating one of the main men and actually does very little to further the plot. Curse you jj abrams

When the Star Trek movie came out where she was dating Mr spock people really hated her for that and it pissed me off

She’s awesome and we love her and she’s an integral and forever iconic part of Star Trek. She is so cute and stylish on the bridge and her cheeriness and compassion are so refreshing. I want to be her friend

Korra:

Fandom picked her apart, called her a b*tch, blamed her for every bad thing that happened TO HER in the plot, disliked that she's loud, disliked that she's strong, disliked that she's confident in her strength, disliked that she's not like their beloved boy Aang. It's been years and you still can't sneeze in this fandom without something starting to yell that Korra is the worst Avatar ever.

She is so so strong. She did her best. She faced down enemies and cataclysms like most Avatars before never did and she fought tooth and nail for both humans and spirits, almost dying in the process, multiple times. Her personal growth and the character arc of such is impressive and well done. She's ride or die for her friends and for strangers too. And the fact that she takes no crap and can punch someone's face in for it is a bonus, not a flaw.

She gets an insane amount of hate for not dealing with everything that happens to her "better", mainly for showing traits considered cool in male characters like being a hothead and choosing violence

My bisexual queen went through the horrors while saving her world four times and she does not deserve the hate she gets, give her a break

She made mistakes and experiences "negative" emotions. People acted like she was the devil incarnate. Meanwhile; those same people fawned over Zuko, who is not only notoriously hot-headed but also literally raided and burned whole villages. People also do not seem to hold the same contempt for Azula as they do for Korra, which I believe is in part due to racism/colorism.

She was trying her best and she had the whole world on her shoulders with very little help to hold it. also, put "korra back muscles" into the search engine of your choice and behold.

Iris West-Allen:

Fandom calls her a bitch and annoying for daring to challenge Barry and to be his love interest while being a black woman.

She is sweet but doesn't take shit from her father or love interest and she is a great journalist and a terrible cook (iconic).

Honestly I am overwhelmed thinking about it. To start, the CW didn't even try to protect Candice Patton from online harassment and threats, to the point that she almost left after season 2 it had gotten so bad. Literally every single time Iris challenged any other character on anything fandom called her manipulative, or a bitch, or controlling, or accused her of gaslighting. When she had to make hard decisions, she was called cold/emotionless by some and somehow too angry/mean at the same time (hmm, I wonder why that is). She was accused of "weaponizing" her personal relationships to get what she wanted regardless of the actual circumstances. And to top it all off, the creators and many of the writers were white men who clearly did not get that Iris wouldn't just be getting pushback for being a woman. Way too many times the fact that she was a Black woman navigating her circumstances was completely ignored (e.g. another characters comments towards her came off as racist, not only sexist, and that should have been acknowledged). I gave up on the show entirely after a point, so I am not sure if the writing got better wrt Iris but maybe someone else knows.

IF IRIS WEST ALLEN DOESNT WIN THIS WHOLE GOD DAMN TOURNAMENT. To this DAY there is a LARGE section of the fandom that violently wants her dead. they claim she single handedly ruined the show and ignore the terrible writing around… Quite literally all of it. If the show is so much as MENTIONED. ANYWHERE. you’ll get a swarm of people going “wE aRe tHE fLaSH” even if IRIS ISNT MENTIONED AT ALL. Her character got hate the SECOND Candice Patton was casted; with people claiming Barry (the white mc) “looked better” with Caitlin (a white woman); and I’m mentioning this because I don’t think you can divorce the misogyny leveled at Iris from the racism she’s subjected to. It’s misogynoir. But that said— the fucking fandom’s always just CLAMBERING for reasons to hate her. She’s annoying, she’s a bitch, she shouldn’t have rejected Barry, ‘actually it’s good that the men in her life didn’t tell her important information that (lethally btw) affects her life because she’s RECKLESS and would just throw herself into danger if she knew everything!’ <- same people often claim not to be misogynistic btw. Also their evidence is always a single time in season 2 that she got in a dangeorus situation (while working as an investigative journalist) and called Barry to get her out of it. SHE WAS DOING HER JOB! THE ABILITY TO CONTACT BARRY PROTECTED HER; AND GAVE HER THE TOOLS TO PROTECT HERSELF‚ REALLY. those mfs just want her dead or sidelined. Cause ohhhhhh that’s when they start to hate her even more. In season 4, not only does she not die (in S3) like they wanted her to; she’s given AGENCY and the ability to cement her place in Team Flash. She doesn’t get forced into the role of a love interest. She’s an active character and she helps with superhero and non-superhero stuff. And you know what, by all definitions she is a full-on hero. Because her ideas saved the day MULTIPLE times that season alone (Enter Flashtime‚ anyone? did you mfs want Central City blown up by a nuke?). In fact; Iris saved the entire world in the end of season 4 with her belief in Marlize Devoe. And then later on? Saves the ENTIRE MULTIVERSE by almost single-handedly convincing Ryan Choi to help them in Crisis On Infinite Earths. ALSO almost everything people hate on her for… is just blatantly incorrect. iykyk; there’s MANY examples. so Iris is a case where I will wholeheartedly say: FREE MY GIRL SHE DID NOTHING WRONG! I could go on! And I’m sure others will. The Iris West Allen fanclub doubles as a defense club. Because Iris West-Allen is kind‚ intelligent‚ passionate and compassionate‚ beautiful‚ brave (remember when she jumped off a fucking building to save her husband?), sometimes a little too selfless… She doesn’t take shit but she is INCREDIBLY forgiving at the same time. She built a media empire from the ground up and won a fucking pulitzer. She has an amazing fashion sense and on a CW SHOW! She has an unwavering belief in people and humanity (THAT HAS SAVED THE WORLD/UNIVERSE AT LEAST THRICE AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED). She has been through SO. FUCKING. MUCH it’s actually unfair— but! In the end she got the happy ending she deserved with her husband and friends; and will continue to kick ass with her literal media empire. Her treatment in the show was more than questionable at times, and her treatement by the fandom FAR moreso; but she got her fucking happy ending at least. and I’m happy for her for that. Vote Iris West-Allen! Because she deserved and DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER FROM THIS FANDOM.

Rose Tico:

They harassed the actress off of social media and made burning action figures of her a spectator sport, an incredibly popular YouTuber turned calling fat and ugly into a running gag.

She’s a nice girl who just wants to help and has a lot of anger in her heart because poor people like her are treated like crap!

I mean… we were all there, right? People threw such a big fit about her mere existence that it actually genuinely changed the American political landscape for the worse (and got her basically written out of the next movie)

She literally didn't do anything wrong. Not in an "my favorite character can do no wrong" kind of way, I just mean it's been almost ten years and I still don't know what those dudes were actually mad about. And she's cute and nice and I liked her!

The shit that happened with rose pisses me off beyond belief to this day actually and I don't even gaf about star wars anymore. The fact that not only did she get such a misogynistic and racist backlash to the point of people harassing her actress but that the films themselves capitulated to this and she was completely absent in the next film. Makes me see red fr

Seen as a threat to the finnpoe slash shippers so ofc they lashed out
