User blog comment:BarBar/Something that bugs me about Courtney and Heather/@comment-4389268-20151021021005/@comment-24152851-20151021035404

@Fire, yes there's always been mixed views about that, but from what I've seen there were still plenty who weren't happy with how he was allowed to coast through at the cost of other characters. I'd say these days the Gwuncan craze has either subsided or Gwumcan fans have gone quiet. Courtney wasn't in the clear either, and her popularity has oscillated with every season, with TDWT not doing her any favors. Really? Duncan was a character people were prohibited from hating? Didn't his fanbase dwindle even before TDAS had aired?

@Phoenix, yes TDA was where Duncan hate had started accumulating. Because a lot thought he robbed the placing of other more deserving characters. So anything he did to get further, was used against him. There were those who hated him as a bully from TDI, but that part of the fandom is relatively smaller in comparison.
