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?

Ah, yes.

I especially love
...Gwen had no characterization apart from crushing on Merlin and being awkward?

GWEN SAYS FUCK YOU VERY MUCH. (And so do I.)

That place has been ticking me off since it was first advertised. And the Gwen-as-female-Merlin thing never fails to amuse. Clearly they weren't watching the same season 1 OR season 2. WHATEVER, FANDOM, WHATEVER.



Arthur says haters can move to the left AND the right.

THIRDED. I must have hallucinated that scene where she told Arthur off in Ealdor (or all the asskicking she and Morgana did).

Clearly they weren't watching the same season 1 OR season 2.

It's possible that season 2 just makes it more difficult for some people to ignore the ICKY GIRLS. And yeah, they're watching a whole other show.

That macro speaks the truth!
