Most of what came up was incoherent tumblr rants, but I did find one link with Tyler P. interview where he indicated anyone watching for Sterek is watching for the wrong reason. If I understand what Sterek is correctly by context, it is people that want Stiles and Derek to hook up? I had not heard of this before.

So Poseygate is Tyler’s comment that this is the wrong reason to watch? Yes, poseygate is people ticked by that comment he made. And yes, sterek is a ship name, like Stydia(Stiles/Lydia) or Scallison(Scott/Allison) People think that Stiles and Derek should be together. I don't actually know how widespread the race issue is, I just know that it popped up a lot when I was looking for what the heck poseygate was. It was a mess, I guess Posey got a lot of hate mail and death threat shit. Which is stupid. He was asked his opinion and gave it. He could've said it more diplomatically, but get over it. And I'm actually a sterek fan. Paul Rea addressed some of this race stuff in an old blog post that came out during the summer airing of Season 3A. Essentially, there are some who are accusing Jeff Davis of following certain racist tropes including (but not limited to) the use of Deaton as an example of the Magical Negro; Boyd's death being racistly motivated (it wasn't... Boyd's storyline was originally going to be part of Erica's and with Gage Golightly leaving for her own show, Boyd's purpose was sort of lost); a lack of important people of color in the cast.

Some call Jeff Davis a sexist because the female baddies all get killed, but the male baddies get redeemed or are somehow allowed to survive.

They don't look at external factors and the fact of the matter is, we don't know how much of it has to do with Studio Pressures, Jeff's vision for the overall story, or simple issues of contracts... it's been mentioned numerous times that the reason some of 3A didn't make sense was because the writers had to redo most of it last-minute because of Jackson's part needing to be written out of it when Colton left Teen Wolf for Arrow, and Gage Golightly left for her show.

In summation: whiny people will whine.
