** Dan and Jenny have several conversations in private (ie. not staged for throw anyone from the track) about posts on Gossip Girl which kill the possibility of them being in it together. One of them contains Jenny being surprised that her brother reads Gossip Girl at all and Dan acting as if he learned something from this site... Oh, and the subject of the post was Jenny supposedly losing her virginity to Asher. So much for the cooperation and getting Jenny's approval before he posts something sensitive about her.

* Why is it that the people who keep calling Chuck an abusive misogynist never criticise Dan for being far worse in that regard? During the entire show's run Dan keeps belittling female characters, oftentimes his love interests. He judges Serena (and later Blair) harshly for failing to live up to his fantasy images of them, oftentimes telling them he's "disappointed" and he "thought [they'd] changed". That serves no purpose other than to let them know they're not good enough the way they are and that they ought to strive to be the way ''he'' wants them to be. When he sleeps with Serena in the season five finale he puts the entire blame on ''her'' and lets her know what an awful person she is and how he could not possibly want her. The fact that nobody forced him to have sex with her never seems to occur to him, nor does he stop to think that he should have spoken to Blair instead of assuming she had dumped him because of a Gossip Girl blast. Then he gives Blair the silent treatment even though he's cheated on her and her worst crime was wanting to end the relationship to be with Chuck (not very noble of her but cheating is definitely worse). If memory serves he also promised Blair he would always be there for her, yet soon thereafter tells her that if she doesn't date him he won't be her friend anymore (this shortly after her wedding). When it comes to Vanessa he actively sabotages her acceptance into Tisch for no other reason than that she got in and he didn't, assuming she must have cheated in order to get in ahead of him. Later that season he cheats on her with Serena yet labels Vanessa the bad person in the equation. Next season he leads her on and lets her think he still wants her, merely so that she will babysit his child with Georgina while he runs after Serena (Milo turned out not to be his child but he didn't know that at the time). She never does anything half that bad to him, yet he still tells her ''she'' is not good enough for ''him'' and decides he no longer wants to be her friend. The reveal of him as Gossip Girl also means he's stalked, publically shamed and humiliated Serena, supposedly in order to make her love him, which is anything but healthy. I'm not saying Chuck doesn't behave badly but Dan most definitely fits the profile of a misogynist and an emotional abuser more than Chuck does yet he not only gets a free pass for it, many of the fans who hate on Chuck hold Dan up as an example of a ''good'' romantic lead.

*** Since when does losing one third of the viewers mean a pairing is successful or popular? Popular pairings keep the viewers watching no matter what the other crappy storylines (case in point: Chair in seasons one, two and most of three). Yes there has been positive press for Ban but the ratings drop is a clear indication that it's not working for the show. And there's been negative press for the pairing also (not to mention Leighton Meester has complained about the pairing in interviews on more than one occasion). It appears that they need the Chair fans back or they won't survive another season, though I might of course be wrong. How is Dan even a good match for Blair? He's a complete ass to the women he dates. Just look at how he treated Vanessa and Serena (Vanessa especially). He has no respect for the Serena/Blair friendship. In addition he could never accept Serena's faults which were a lot milder than Blair's so without a personality transplant he's not going to be able to accept Blair. I'm not saying Chuck is necessarily the best match for Blair but Dan isn't any better IMHO. Besides, I thought IJBM was a place to vent about things you didn't like. I'm sorry you don't agree that the Ban storyline is bad and I'm sorry if you've been offended, but YourMileageMayVary seems like a given on a page like this. People are free to love Dan and Blair together but they are also free to dislike them together. Peace and goodwill =)
