SFers are very angry. An SFer on Tumblr wrote an angry “letter” calling A&E “Bastards” and “sons of whores”, basically saying they would no longer watch the show (Which begs the question why they took the time to write such a long letter instead of, you know, JUST STOP WATCHING!)
I’ve seen JMo’s comments about Neal be called a “character assassination”. However, JMo hasn’t really said anything beyond Emma felt betrayed by Neal too many times therefore wouldn’t have been in a romantic relationship with him. She didn’t criticise Neal as a character.
The bad apples of the SF fandom are giving the decent SFers a bad name.
