Hah, finally I could post it. Stupid DDoS attacks.
I'm tired of the 'meh' people being louder about female non-white characters than the fans - yet I can never find fannish fans who are SQUEE about them without needing a whole chorus of squee behind them.
I can totally understand your frustration with that. Actually, I share similar feelings, because there are a lot of non-white female characters that I adore. But I can imagine my perspective is different than yours, and I know our fannish experiences are different.
And wait, what? Arthur/Gwen has petered out? It's not just Merlin canon, it's CENTURIES' worth of canon. I mean, how do you peter out on such an epic love story?
...wait, this is fandom, I shouldn't even ask. *headdesk*
