(pardon the image, tumblr wouldn't let me reblog it)

I am probably the only one with the blorbo obsession to make this bizarre connection but - this reminds me a bit of what's going on at the moment with another character.

With Spike, the showrunners tried to undermine him by making him "weaker" and it didn't work, the fans liked him harder. They finally panicked and tried to make the character commit an act that was utterly beyond the pale in order to sink the ship - but many of the fans reacted by simply refusing to accept it, declaring it such a betrayal of the character as written that it Didn't Happen and they'd just write around it in their heads.

Elsewhere, David on Roseanne went from being Darlene's vaguely artistic boyfriend to being the butt of every joke, constantly mocked for his lack of "manly" qualities. Gullible, soft, abused by his family, obsessively devoted to his girlfriend, bossed around, suddenly gaining skills in cooking and cleaning and sewing out of nowhere so that the other characters had more things to make fun of him for, even his sexual abilities were joked about.

And a few people in the fandom do viscerally hate him for being "weak" and "clingy" and having been punched in the face by a small child rather than fight back.

This didn't stop him from being a teen heartthrob with legions of devoted fans.

~30 years later, the revival has to go on without David's character because the actor is unavailable, so the showrunners are frantically trying to undermine the character in order to shill his replacement. They want to retcon him into being a terrible person who did something beyond the pale so that fans will stop wanting him to come back.

And it's just not working! Many fans refuse to accept it, declaring it such a betrayal of the character that it Couldn't Happen. Even when it's basically the entire premise of the revival, the complaint just keeps coming up over and over again: how dare they do this to David?

Basically, you can't spend years in your original beating us over the head with how emotional and sensitive the boy is, literally saying when Darlene got pregnant that no one could make a better mother than David... and then tell us he's a deadbeat dad now, without expecting protests!
