The 100 Bellamy Blake fandom worship

I will never understand why most of the 100 fandom worships Bellamy Blake. Most of the fandom forgive him for being a murderous asshole in season 1 & 3 but puts down any female character who dares to disagree with him or do anything but follow Bellamy and be a cookie cutter perfect character. Some say Octavia abused Bellamy when that is anything but the truth. Octavia lashed out after litterly just watching the love of her life be murdered because Bellamy and Pike decided to betray their people and kill 100 sleeping people sent to protect them and imprisoned then killed Lincoln for standing up for his people. Many people would of done the same thing as Octavia in that moment. Bellamy killed all those sleeping innocent people because his girlfriend died & participated in an internment camp but no one ever talks about that. Double Standard much! Clarke/Kane/Lexa/Monty all had no time or choice but to kill people to save their own people who were in immediate danger and about to die and get so much hate. But Bellamy gets praised or at least excused for his actions. Excuses like he did it for his sister when Octavia hasn't needed protection since season 1 and even then she didn't.

Some say Octavia is racist but bitch were! Are we watching the same show! As a Poc myself i wouldn't miss that seeing as I deal with racism all the time. Interesting that I've noticed most of the white fandom are accusing Octavia of racism. Bellamy like many straight male tv characters is held up on a pedestal because he's the hot, straight male lead. If Bellamy were a girl or a LGBT Male character he wouldn't be so loved by the fandom. I guess that's the straight male privilege.

Season 2 Bellamy was the best Bellamy because he seemed to learn from his mistakes and it seems so far in season 5 he has as well despite him being an occasional hypocrite. I don't hate Bellamy I just hate that their is such a huge double standard in the fandom when it comes to Bellamy vs any other Character on the 100 especially Octavia and Clarke.
