Further proof that popularity warps your actions in the audience's minds: Logan was not only hell on wheels in the first half of the season, he was also directly responsible for getting Veronica very drunk at the party and used her for body shots, not to mention that he drugged Duncan on purpose, and yet he was the poor woobie; Duncan, who was after all roofied, was blamed of everything from rape to committing incest on purpose, because the character wasn't well-liked.

Ah, fandom. So reliable that way. (This reminds me again of all the hate directed against Kristen Bell before Elle showed up on Heroes but after it was announced she would; as far as I could see, it seemed to come nearly exclusively from disgruntled V/L'shippers, didn't it?)

And yeah, given that this was before SPN, the fury about V being Aaron's kid would have destroyed the internet. Or well, TWOP at least.

Now you're making me regret that she wasn't, because in search of House reviews I checked on the TWOP ones and yeah, good old hatred for female characters ahoy. Comes complete with actress bashings.

On a lighter note, I remember a lot of DW fans being very worried because for some reason, they were scared RTD would make the Master the Doctor's brother, and there was much earnest soul searching about who would be ready to write incest fic and who wouldn't if that was the case. And advance Rusty hate. And then we got that marvellous exchange between the Doctor and Martha on the subject. *veg*
