Re: What's up with the Karen hate??

[(Anonymous)]

True, like I don't know if she was fetishizing Matt's blindness, but that face touching scene with Foggy definitely gave me a "this is not cool" vibe and I think in the Foggy prompt you're referring to, the OP posed it as a mental illness which may be why no one commented like they did on the Karen one.

As another anon was saying in this thread, we definitely get more of Karen than we do Claire and Vanessa (and Madame Gao got like 5 scenes or something), so she's like the only main female character on the show, so people treat her like she's precious and must be protected at all costs to the detriment of being able to criticize her actions.

People treat her like she's precious because we're all road weary from all the other main female characters in every other fandom we've been in getting hated on, or pushed aside in favour of the fav slash pairing, lol.

It seems like people hold her to a higher standard than most other characters though. Like, I'm not sure her morals or actions are any worse or better than Matt's, tbh.

(Funny enough, I remember seeing a bit of Claire hate when I first got into fandom. Don't know if it's still going, but people seemed unnecessarily harsh on her for "abandoning" Matt, when all she was doing was looking out for herself).

Somebody on Tumblr tried to insinuate Marci was verbally abusive to Foggy too XD
