Considering how much they like to place Peeta on this pedestal of perpetually perfect purity, I've noticed his fanbase goes out if it's way to be hostile. Whether it's offering a single nice word about Gale on a message board or even a Gale/Katniss dedicated video, Team Peeta always invades with their overblown disparaging comments. This would make more sense if it was the other way around, but how is it Team Gale usually opts not to engage or attack? Shouldn't Team Peeta be satisfied with their delectable forcefed 'victory'? What's with the consistent need to tear Gale down in order to prop Peeta up? The guys themselves did not interact with nearly such immature antagonism towards each other.
