You know that ‘one fear’ meme? My fear is Jester will be demonized or pushed away by the fandom if she seems to be ‘getting in the way’ of the other ships involving Fjord. Because you know fandom has a tendency to treat female characters like shit in this kind of situations…

I know more than a few people have expressed this concern, and considering the fact that something very similar happened with Keyleth in the first campaign, I would say it’s a valid concern to have. Also, this happens a lot in general when it comes to m/m ships and female characters. Female characters are often demonized or ignored because it’s perceived the pose a threat to the ship because of the potential/reality of their canon relationship with the male characters. It happened with Molly and Mary on Sherlock, it’s happened a bit with Laura on American Gods, I remember Kate getting some stuff like that on Lost, I know female love interests on Supernatural have taken a lot of crap. 

In other words, we’re gonna go full anime fandom if this keeps up. I thought I had escaped this hell.
