Heh, but if you judged, say, Avatar on its fangirls, Avatar would consist of a psychotic, frequently misogynist bunch of wankers who spent the entirety of the show squeeing over Zuko. And everyone would be having sex.

Fair point. However, the fact that the first 5 episodes failed to grab me, none of the spoilers have made me want to watch the episodes it would take to get there, and the fanbrats are really, really annoying..... they're really just the icing on the cake.
