eyes closed, head first, can't lose

I think Rubynye did an excellent job with examples of how character criticism can be phrased. In addition, I am more likely to assume misogyny, hidden, internalized, societal or outright, if someone harps on their dislike of a female character. If, every time the character comes up in conversation, the same person has to inform the group of his/her dislike of the character, I assume misogyny. Seriously, we're all a little obsessive (or we wouldn't be fans *g*), but when that obsession is focused on disliking a character, rather than celebrating the whole body of work, I question the motivations.
