Fandom Misogyny Victim Tournament

I'm obviously voting for Vriska just because I know her and not the other character (which I think is the main deciding factor in most of these kinds of polls), but this is making me think about how I'm sure I have seen far, far more people trying to counter Vriska hate than I have seen actual Vriska hate. And I'm not gonna deny that is happened at all, as I've only been in the Homestuck fandom a year at this point, but I am pretty active in here, in that time I have literally never seen one person genuinely try to argue that she's worse than Gamzee or Eridan. Of course I've seen people woobifying those characters before, but I do not see them talk about Vriska at all because that type of person tends to just not care enough to even think about her. I guess you could call that a kind of misogyny. There's probably some people who are sitting in the corner with their blorbo boys who would shut down any conversation about her because she makes them uncomfortable or something. Maybe that's what people are talking about. But the most criticism I've ever seen of her that I could say boarders on actual hatred of her are people who think specifically the ableism towards Tavros was unforgivable(perhaps in a way that to the speaker feels an order of magnitude above the misogyny towards Feferi), or they are complaining about how she hurt other female characters. Lotta female-on-female violence around here. Is that misogyny? Sometimes I guess.
