There are *a few* people who seem to be stuck in the 90s. It’s really not the case of the whole fandom, I feel like the major part of us would love to see David and Gillian together, even if some don’t believe it’s happening. But yes, there are a few people who are totally against this idea. They refuse to see David for who he is and can’t distinguish the false from the truth that had been said about him. If they’d get to know him better, they would see what a great man, great father, talented artist he is, they would stop being “proud that he has grown up so much” even if he has nothing to prove to us and is old enough to be our dad (for most of us), they would stop sticking to the false image they have of him based on fabricated rumors and most of all, they would stop thinking he is Hank Moody.
On the other side, there are also a few fans of David who for some reasons hate Gillian too.
To me, all these people should think twice before calling themselves “fans”. If they can’t see that David makes Gillian happy and Gillian makes David happy, they have a real problem.
