Line 98:
*** They're sitting cross-legged. Women ''never'' sit cross-legged on the floor in Japan: men do that.
* [[Die for Our Ship]]:
** Artie. At PaleyFest 2011, Kevin McHale revealed that he often gets "hate Tweets" from Brittana shippers, protesting "[[I Am Not Spock|I'm not Artie!]]"
** Quinn, Blaine and
** The Finchel ship gets this from Klaine and Brittana shippers
** Let's not forget the massive amount of hate the Finchel Fandom itself lets loose against anyone other than Finn that even shows the slightest interest in Rachel. Puck, Jesse, Brody, all of their respective actors and their fandoms catch no end of hell from them. Mark Salling actually got legitimate, police-investigated death threats after Rachel cheated on Finn with Puck in Season 2. In fact it goes so far as to spill over into the [[Ho Yay|Faberry]] fandom, a non-canon ship. Strangely, this never seems to happen to the other girls who show interest in Finn.
That's because there are no other girls that show interest in Finn, apart from Quinn and Santana, and they were only using him half the time they were together anyway.
** Sam, due to dating Brittany, and the series' complicated history regarding its depiction of LGBT issues. While Santana was the one to dump Brittany because she wanted to date other people, a lot of people resent the show's aforementioned imbalance in the portrayal of opposite-sex relationships vs. same-sex relationships. Whereas Brittana fans had to wait for over a year to see the two painfully in love characters kiss, Brittany and Sam kissed multiple times in the episode they got together. Once Brittany and Santana's relationship was made official it took place almost entirely in the background whereas Brittany and Sam had major plots revolve around their relationship in two consecutive episodes, leading to some resentment towards the character himself. Prefer Brittany with which ever character you like, but you'd be hard pressed to argue that they are treated equally.
** Some less scrupulous fans were hoping Marley would have died from her fainting spell at Sectionals, so that Jake and Ryder could take comfort in each other.
** The Klaine fandom sends quite a bit of hate as well. Max Adler, Grant Gustin, and Oliver Kieran-Jones have gotten hate sent to them for being a love interest of either Blaine or Kurt. Even Chris Colfer has gotten hate from Klaine shippers due to Kurt's actions in episodes or comments Chris has said that can be taken as anti-Klaine or pro another pairing like Kadam. Strangely, Darren Criss never really receives hate from Klainers even if he says similar anti-Klaine comments or Blaine shows interest in someone else, like Sam in Sadie Hawkins.
** Notably subverted with Dani, Santana's new girlfriend. She doesn't receive much hate from Brittana shippers or frankly any other Santana-related shipper. In fact, people wish that she had been featured more and has a sizable fanbase of her own.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]:
** Puck. The fangirls were all over him long before he showed any signs of depth.
Line 106 ⟶ 112:
** With the help of Grant Gustin and the show's 'interesting' way of character development, Sebastian is slowly but surely becoming this. Because there has to be a traumatized [[Jerkass Woobie|woobie]] beneath that 'facade'.
** Blaine is still insanely popular even after {{spoiler|having tried to force himself upon Kurt, shamed Kurt in front of his friends, turned them against him by having them participate in his [[Take That]] song to Kurt, breaking him down enough to sing "I Have Nothing" to him, ''and'' blaming Kurt for his anger because he was ''too busy thinking of his future''}}.
** Finn. He's done some pretty terrible things throughout the course of the show - outing Santana despite knowing from his friggin' ''step-brother's'' school transfer that the kids at McKinley High ''violently'' hate gays and that this careless act will paint a target on her back, for starters - but there are still many fans of his and the of 'Finchel' relationship.
** Santana, as many of her fans tend to downplay her role in bullying other characters to turn her into [[The Woobie]] due to her torment over her sexuality. While rewatching early season 3 episodes would suggest that her bullying was in response to people attacking her and making fun of or taking advantage of Brittany, which she then gets punished for — and punished for being punished - it's still not an excuse. On top of that, she's still struggling with her sexuality, thus providing an [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] that puts her in a better light, especially among the young gay kids who can ignore the rest of her character to get some comfort in a shared experience.
** The creators intended for everyone to hate Quinn, but her very early season 1 snark and bitchiness steadily made her a fan favorite. Her pregnancy and parental abandonment further reinforced this status, with her actress choosing to play her up as more sympathetic just adding to the reasons that people found it hard to hate her. This reportedly got the writers to dislike her, and so numerous episodes in season 2 and ''especially'' Season 3 contained moments where Quinn is clearly supposed to be unsympathetic and viewed as being in the wrong - Will reminds her of how the glee club and its members have always supported her in the past and [[The Reason You Suck Speech|calls her out on blaming]] [[Never My Fault|''him'']] [[What the Hell Hero|for her transformation into a bad girl]] in "I Am Unicorn", Sam tells her that she should enjoy her senior year while it lasts instead of constantly stressing about Beth in "Hold On to Sixteen", Kurt tells her off for calling Dave "selfish" just because [[It's All About Me|''she's'' also been put through the wringer]] [[No Sympathy|but could never consider committing suicide herself]] - but this still didn't stop the fans from waxing lyrical about her.
* [[Drinking Game]]: Take a shot every time the word "Funk" is used in Episode 21. And every time the word "distraction" or "distract" is used in episode "Hairography".
** Or how many times [[Michael Jackson]]'s famous high pitched "hee hee" is used in the "Michael" episode
