I do have a certain sneaking sympathy for that, since I skim through E/C fics (or at least the ones that label themselves 'Raoul-friendly') skipping all the scenes with Erik in and looking for the Raoul material... at least up until the point where the author decides to dump him conveniently out of the story. It must be masochism.
Sounds like it. I understand, though--there's no such thing as too much Raoul. ;)
Another E/C fangirl complained on one of these videos (though I failed to find it again) that "Love Never Dies" wasn't good enough for her because Christine didn't appreciate Mr Y's kisses and devotion and gave the impression that she kept wanting to run off with Raoul. Which was ironic, because if even people who don't want to see C/R in the sequel can't help seeing it, then the canon in that case isn't terribly convincing...
That amuses me. It really does.
Oh, and according to this defender, Erik hasn't killed anybody since Persia, because Leroux moved the chandelier crash from 20 years later, and he, ALW and Kay all 'blamed it' on poor innocent Erik :-p
*headdesk*
Time to put my French classes to use...
"When a woman saw me, like you, she was mine. She loves me for always!"

...Erik sounds like a serial killer. O.o
(Did I translate that correctly?)
