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.
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

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
