You making it sound like the only reason Backstrom hasn't been racking up those awards is because people just haven't noticed how wonderful he is!! is not precisely a "hot button issue," but obviously going to draw some eyerolls from people who don't agree. You following up your comments with whining about how people are being so mean to you for liking Backstrom just feeds into the impression of there being a ridiculous victim complex about Backstrom in fandom. If you're hoping for Backstrom to win the Hart, hope that he has a Hart-worthy season. (And ffs if you want Tom Wilson to ~redeem himself in fandom's eyes, hope that he stops being a dirty player instead of making it sound like the problem is with people's perception. More of the same.)
