Let's just pretend it hasn't been eons since I last posted, ok?
I'm excited for the new Merlin after two weeks, but as usual, part of fandom continues to suck beyond the telling of it.
Check out this latest gem:

Their userinfo is basically a lot of whining about season 2, and a list of all the terrible things about it.
Some choice quotes:
"Remember the glorious time before season 2? Before the producers became aware that the relationship between their two leads could be interpreted as romantic and took some desperate measures? Before...
...they made Gwen the new Merlin (and a floozy)?"
First off, I am beyond tired of the bashing and slut-shaming of any female character who dares to have a love life. Secondly...who the fuck still uses "floozy"?
WHY SO MISOGYNIST, MERLIN FANDOM?

Do they mean desperate measures like when Merlin sneaks into Arthur's bedroom or when he tells Arthur, "You've still got me," or when Arthur keeps flashing Merlin his chest all of a sudden or when Merlin got all jealous and possessive of Arthur when another servant tricked him out of his position? Those desperate measures?
Also, I must have missed the part where Gwen suddenly developed magical powers, talked to the slash dragon all the time, bonded with Gaius and grew a penis.

Apparently nothing short of Merlin and Arthur having onscreen sex right after declaring their hatred of those icky girls will be enough for some people.
And yeah, Gwen=the new Merlin? What the fuck?
