I remember after 5A there was huge uproar because people who didn't ship CS "deserved better than this" and that the wrtiers were disrespecting them because they didn't write the show they wanted it. Some even complained that the writers had "used and abused" them.

And now in season 7 CSers are also complaining about being "disprespected".

All over a TV show, SMH at every time a Hook fan was whining about how they don't like "fake Hook" and would've preferred to see "real Hook" in S7 with Emma and how they don't give a damn about Alice. Also, irritating that some anti-Rogers people have now turned the Nook nickname and claim it means "Not Hook". -_- Really...? I get not liking a character, but for goodness sake, the way they lash out is disrespectful and hurtful to Colin O'Donoghue, who portrays both Hooks and works hard on the show. I wouldn't say that they are being harsh on the actor. I mean, what they do is clearly disrespectful, but only to the character. Colin has nothing to do with this. He just does what is given to him. I also may not like real Hook, but I adore Colin in every way :P But he's the one portraying the character. I imagine having so many rude comments thrown out about how "this character is fake! not real! sucks!" is pretty hurtful. Whether the actor feels hurt by rude comments about Rogers/Wish Realm Hook, I think it's possible he can comfortably portray the character on-screen but not get hung up on if there's negative feedback directed at the character. It could be like how the writers constantly get criticism. An actor likely faces the same stuff too. Some actors get emotionally invested in the roles they play and may feel defensive when people don't like their characters, but I wouldn't know if Colin views his characters that way.
