"Basically, someone was reprimanding Neal fans for refusing to look past Neal's hotness and acknowledge his criminal side."
Like with any TV show character, I'm sure there are Neal Caffrey fans that could more aptly be described as Matt Bomer fans (and, of course, the two things aren't mutually exclusive). But if basher's can't imagine a Neal Caffrey fan who doesn't just like him for his looks...then maybe they're the ones blinded by his looks. Just sayin'. ^^
And, honestly? I find Neal's criminal side such a complex, fascinating aspect of who he is. It's his Achilles' heel--what makes him complex. Yes, he's a pretty face, but he's also an interesting character. And, maybe it's just my limited impression, but it seems to me like most Neal fans, if anything, focus a lot on his criminal-mindedness.
