the reason we have dedicated Martin hate blogs is that if you criticise him in the vast majority of the fandom you get curb stomped. like. I've met people irl who've heard I listen to fiction podcasts and come over to tell me how great TMA is and how Martin is their favourite character ever and he's done nothing wrong uwu. and had to leave the event early because I said I didn't really like him and made them so uncomfortable that they asked their boyfriend to get me to leave.
Big if true. If that happened to me I would stop talking to irl fans forever
Also that person said "[Martin] isn't even the most morally ambiguous" "he hasn't even harassed anyone" as if you're only allowed to dislike fictional characters for irl offenses. I know he's the least "morally ambiguous" cause if he was more fucked up them maybe I would actually like him! "He's fictional" I'm aware that's why hating on him doesn't hurt anyone. It's not like he'll hear me
Not to mention that. Well. Nobody seems to have that much of a problem with character hating when it comes to Elia- *gets shot*
