Because misogyny.

i don't think so. i think that's over-simplistic lazy crutch explanation, even though there may easily be some truth to it. but John gets a pass a lot in Mac fan community, for the same stuff other guys in the band are repeatedly raked over the coals.

i think there are many nuances to various fans' reasoning as to why they blame Christine but leave John alone for not having a spine in 2018 happenings. some are shippers who blame Christine coming back for breaking up the "lovefest" version of the band. others just set a low low bar for John, while high bar for Christine. funnily enough, however low bar is set for Mick, he still manages to crawl lower than that in most fans eyes!

It really makes me laugh how shippers (not here so much). but you know some of them personally, and so do I. They HATE Christine. And only for the mere reason that she broke B/N up!! It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. They still go on and on and on to this day about how they love each other. The drugs some of these people take must be strong.

I know that I rub so many $tevie fans against their grain, but ^^^^^^THIS is the reason I do it. It's just SO STUPID to play this stupid game that $tevie and Lindsey are still in love. Only an idiot could believe it.

I'll bet Lindsey would strangle her to death if he thought he could get away with it.

The most hilarious part is how they STILL love each other And one day they will be back together....

Stevie has a very strange way of demonstrating her love.

Oh, wait, it’s all Christine’s fault.
