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?

Omg, really? I have to say I liked him more in S1. In the one episode he's been in in S2 I've found myself despising him a little. I mean, really, he couldn't find anything better to do with himself than become one of Hengist's cage-fighters? Seriously? With all those unscrupulous bandits & defenceless villages in need of a hero, THAT'S the best he could do?

Guinevere is way too good for him.
