Even though she gets so much hate and little airtime, why is she so popular in this Fandom? Gwen

The character Guinevere stands on her on!And unfortunately some people are closed minded and like what looks like them. They are self absorbed and can't see past the tip of their noses. It's why i wished i lived in Camelot! I watched a few seconds of a video on another website and it entitled her a "maneater". After that i turned it off. I thought geez;such hateration. So lets see she meet Merlin at a young age and liked the loveable cute geek. Which we have all done on our path to Mr. Right. It didn't work out. So next there was Mr. Hot&Humble , Mr, Right Now...Lancelot that we all have met and instantly love at first site! We all know that rarely works out. He leaves to be an honorable man intially...until Morgana woke him up from the dead...ugh. Gwen in the back of her mind always wondered should she have gone after him yet again Mr. Instant Love ...doesn't usually last. Then there is Mr. Smoldering, hot as hell, Arthur the firecracker himself who is a prat and she can't stand him! How many of us coming into womanhood have done the same thing. How many men for that matter have met that one they can't stand. And who does he marry? HE /SHE MARRIES THE ONE THEY COULDN'T STAND! LOL. So i said all of that to say Guinevere has done nothing wrong. SHe's done what we all do. We kiss a few toads to find our prince sitting right under our noses. THe very man she thought arrogant, stuck up, a bully and unemotion and the list goes on..is the one that she saw had a soul once you got past all the other stuff. Yes ...she knew he was hot but again she wouldn't have given him the time of day. We have all met that one that pushes our buttons and then we look up...and we are in love so hard it hurts. It's nothing but envy, green eyed envy. She's been adored by great men and the haters can't stand her for it. Even Sir Gwaine with his fine behind was trying to get at her. Yet what's interesting is this: there's a double standard here. Arthur was in bed with another woman, almost drowned in the lake for one and almost married another but no one has jack to say about that because he is a man! Right! Arthur probably in real life got some action in that bedroom episode more than Gwen and her crushes even thought about. Yet people seem to forget that Arthur has a past as well. Funny how people especially envious women can forgive that but they want to hate on Gwen. Even the men that hate on her...it's usually cause they have a thing for Arthur themselves. Look at Angel's bio pics(Gwen) and you can see why some women are salty. They played her looks way down but now she's turning it on and showing her figure as well. Gorgeous. My advice has always been ...don't hate the woman for being on her game....hate the man or step your game up! I salute you Guinevere...rock on with your bad ass!

I think the hate just comes down to jealously really. Gwen is a pretty girl, and on the show she gets these really good looking guys running after her, now the fact that a lot of fan-girls are insecure shut-ins who have never had attention from a male is naturally going to cause jealously from them. Haha, I know it sounds harsh (and I know that's not the case for all Gwen haters) but I believe a large percentage of Gwen haters are just jealous insecure girls.
Another factor is the merthur ship. If you've been on Tumblr you'd know that the female who threatens the slash ships is always the one with the most hate. It's really sad and the sexism towards women from these slash ships makes it really difficult for me to support them or their shippers. (I also believe these slash fandoms are fetishizing homosexual relationships but that is a completely different topic, haha!)
Some people say that Angel's race has something to do with it, and although i'm sure that's not the case with a lot of the girls, there is still a lot of racism in todays society and I'm sure it applies to a couple of Gwen haters.

Now i'm not entirely sure why Gwen receives less hate on fanpop. I think it's due to how easy it is for Gwen fans to defend her. Whereas on Tumblr you can't properly reply to a Gwen hater message or post, on fanpop it's extremely easy. I rather wish Tumblr was more like fanpop (fan-base wise) as I'm really getting sick of all the bullying and hate that goes towards Gwen, Arwen, and the Arwen fan-base. Fanpop was a breath of fresh air after what i'd seen from Tumblr and though I've seen a bit of Gwen hate from this website it is miniscule compared to that of Tumblr and I hope it stays that way!

I honestly have no idea..... I know that to me...she can at times seem like a flat character but that might be due to the writing. I love Gwen's character to death, but sometimes the decisions she makes... don't feel right.... ya' know? I can't explain what I mean.... but again, I don't really know why so many people hate her :/
