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?

That said, since when is she slutty? Just because of Lancelot? ...Also, do they know that Arthur/Gwen & Lancelot/Gwen are actually canon pairings?... I've seen other people on my flist react this badly to the new season, but I stll don't get it :/ The only things I didn't like in S2 is how the men behave with the girls.. not viceversa!

Female characters are not allowed to have a romantic life, don't you know?
And canon? Arthurian legend? Goes right over some people's heads.

Like Arthur and Lancelot making all the decisions for Gwen and Gaius and Merlin LYING to Morgana because teh feeble wominz can't handle the truth? Yeah.
