I'm in series like The Vampire Diaries where consent is a HUGE problem but not a lot of people understand that. It's a good starting point for someone who has trouble recognizing 'well if you hate the show so much, why do you watch it?' Recognizing unfortunate implications =/= 100% hatred of a show.
PREACH. The inability of this fandom to deal with TVD's consent issues has been know to keep me awake at night. :|
