Good for him; I always hoped he'd married Nicole Beharie, but that's my issue.

I hope they live happily ever after. I don't even much care for them individually, but the cray cray hatred of them as a couple in certain circles has made me kinda root for them out of spite.

I hope they start going on extravagant double dates with Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife. Just partying it up on a yacht somewhere while the nutjob haters seethe behind their keyboards.

I'm not a massive fan of either of them as actors but they seem harmless enough as people. And so completely under the radar as a couple (even more so than Cumberbatch and his wife), what do the crazies have against them?

I had only gotten into Fassbender around the time they started dating. I think they're both really good actors but as a public couple they are boring - probably because they are so not public. I kind of applaud them for that. The Daily Fail has a ridiculous article that's like "We think we have pictures of them both wearing wedding rings so we were right in our speculation that they would have secret nuptials!! We were right!!!"

I'm not sure exactly what prompted the crazies. From what I can tell there is kind of a Cumberbatch situation where there's a weirdly possessive and entitled segment of his fanbase. The X-Men movies may have something to do with it too? Truly, I consider them both kind of boring off-screen so I really don't get it.

There are Youtube clips of Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy on the Graham Norton Show. Suffice to say, there is a strong female fanbase towards those two as OTP. There's drawings and everything!

Yeah, the anger is rooted in the death of the fantasy. Whatever story these "fans" told themselves, it's not lining up with reality. Hence the rage blackouts. Personally, I also have a theory that they always lose it when it becomes clear that they can't control their victims objects of affection.

In a very tiny way, I get the fantasies; I've met folks in fandom and many of them are people who for whatever reason are VERY dissatisfied with their lives; some have serious health problems and other problems that prevent them from moving on with life, getting jobs, socializing, etc. For some of these folks, fandom and fantasy are all they have. What I don't like is when these "fans" go WAY too far. When they start going on hate campaigns, etc. There was a rumor that Fassbender liked women who weren't white, but in the end he married a white woman; I can see people being a bit upset about that, as it seems that IRL so many black male celebrities marry white women and that doesn't happen enough the other way around.
