(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?)

You could probably say that, even though I never got how one could viciously hate Veronica and ship Logan/Veronica at the same time. (VM fandom was a little scary in the end, as most of the sane people had either left or moved to safer parts of the net. Heroes is really remarkably mellow compared to that.)

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.

Oh, I know. I mean, I still go there, I have a couple of friends on the Heroes board and I like some of the recappers, but it's not like it has become less problematic.

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.

I'm not incredibly fond of either Who fandom, but that was kind of cute.

And advance Rusty hate.

Isn't that mandatory by now? Not that he hasn't given some rather unfortunate interviews lately, but I don't remember a point where the Rusty hate wasn't alive and well.

And then we got that marvellous exchange between the Doctor and Martha on the subject. *veg*

Wasn't that also a dig at the TV movie? I remember the brother thing being almost canon somewhere, but then getting cut.
