oh, for fuck's sake

SG-1 fandom, you are full of stupid. Sam Carter is not a ruined, useless, character because, one time, she had a thing for a male in her vicinity.

Seriously. If you think she spent x number of seasons pining for Jack, shut the fuck up and think about how stupid you sound. (why can't I punch stupid people through the internets?)

Ah, so that means that Jack was a useless idiot pining over Sam all those years, yearning for her, even though he couldn't do anything because of chain of command issues. And then he became a useless man-whore because he slept with another woman, breaking the purity of his love for Sam, whom he should have been pure for Forever! and waited until one of them retired for good. He should have told her to dump Pete and stay true to their doomed forbidden love before she even slept with him! Yes! IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT!

Or something like that.

I love it how silly the, ahem, "logic" of fandom sounds when you take what they say about female characters and apply it to the male characters. There have been times when I've wanted to wade into the fray when crap like this pops up and call out such junk, but then my fannish blood pressure goes up and I think, Is The Wank Worth It? Usually it's not. It's always so much nicer to just to be snarky on the flist when stupid stuff gets said.
