I think age also factors into it, tumblr skews younger than LJ/DW.
Yeah, I'm mostly talking about this ridiculous Ward vs Natasha rivalry which bugs me tremendously, as a fan of both. But the trend has been going on for a while. I'm also irked by the argument that Ward shouldn't get a shot at redemption because he's a straight white cis dude and if you have the gall to root for his redemption, you're racist and sexist and should shut up. How is that promoting diversity.
As an aside, they didn't even say Nat couldn't beat the lie detector. If Koenig was the one asking the questions, I'm sure she did. A machine is only as good as its operator. ;)
And I'm reasonably convinced that the reason they keep bringing up Natasha is to draw parallels between her backstory and Ward's. Which is very similar, even if his haters don't want to see it. It's not to downplay her skills.
