To be honest I stay in fandomsecrets for the occasional heartwarming secret, and because I've got friends there.
I don't read or watch Bleach, although oddly enough I went through a phase of reading a lot of Bleach fanfic last year, so I am sort of dimly aware of the issues with Orihime. It's weird how she's the only one who can't be criticised (although I think there are shipping issues that affect this, am I right?). It seems that in many fandoms there's this really divisive character who creates drama like this (I'm thinking of Castiel in SPN, for example), and to be honest it's kind of depressing.
I think it's possible to like (and even love) something while recognising its flaws, but I think some fans have yet to make this connection.
