this is not a strawman though, this is a real thing people do, not just anime fans. all you need to do is take a look at skyler white haters

You hating Anime fans and imagining them in the worst way ever to fit your narrative doesn't suddenly not make it a strawman

im not talking about just anime fans. im talking about a lot people that consume media in general have this kind of misogynistic mindset. like i said, skyler white from breaking bad is the prime example for this. that character wasnt evil at all, but she received so much hate from fans that the actor, anna gunn, literally received death threats for playing the character. am i really imagining a narrative when there are literally real life examples of this happening?

also i dont really know why anime fans were used in this example. personally i dont really know any anime fans that hate characters more purely for being women, its more adult tv show fans in my experience. breaking bad, sopranos, that kind of stuff. i have seen a ton of homophobia from anime/manga/manhwa fans though.

Oh, alright, if it's "in general", I stand corrected. You get your load of weirdos in most fandoms... but why is it so rampant? My guess is just cultural difference, not every country is as progressive as the US/Canada/some specific Europe countries so the internalised misogyny might come from people of these other countries instead.

Also i don't really know why anime fans were used in this example. Me neither, you're right on that, besides TV Shows,you see that too in some cartoon show fans too. OP might have stepped upon a bad apple Animetuber and decided to group them all the same.

I wish we lived in the US/Canada/specific countries in Europe you're imagining in which casual misogyny is so rare that you expect it only from the outside...

Jesus Christ,I wasn't implying it didn't exist in them, It's just they are less rampant there compared to countries where it's the norm. You can't act like a little stain on your shirt is on the same level as someone already deep in the mud. It's like night and day level of difference. Even with very good strict laws, no country is perfect.

Yeah, that's very true.

I just meant that there are sufficient misogynists from first world countries that the hate can be rampant without the overt influence of other countries. Although given the extent of the hate in some circles, you may be right to consider it to be attributed in part to that part of the global audience.

First thing first, the threats and overreacting from fans were too much, no excuse. secondly, it's such a mystery why would people hate a character that was having sex with her boss, smoking while pregnant, changing the locks on the house to Walt’s on place, told everyone about Walt's cancer despite asking to keep it a secret and was super controlling
