Dear Supernatural Fandom,
When did we cross a line? When was it OK for us to cross that line and make excuses as to why we are ALLOWED? When did we become self entitled, uncaring of what the actors and crew wanted?
I know some of the Destiel fandom feels lied to and disrespected due to comments made on Twitter. I understand what you are talking about and where you are coming from, but your reaction should have been one of maturity and dignity. Instead, we cyber bullied a man off the internet. We bitch about people doing that in real life, but we turned into hypocritical asshats by thinking it was ok to do it to someone else. How did this become the norm?
Do you remember when we could just watch an episode of SPN and laugh, cry, and try to guess the future? When Dean was acting off, we didn’t bitch that Jensen or the writers didn’t know what they were doing, we started to connect dots (real or imaginary) to find out why. When Castiel was being a douche, we didn’t scream and cry like children that Misha or the writers are stupid, we came up with theories and used our imaginations. When did that stop? When did we start thinking we knew more about these characters than the actors or people that created them? Just because we RP them in an imaginary universe? Because we have been watching the show from the beginning? We get 1 hour of Supernatural 23 weeks out of the year. 23 hours of SPN each year. Jensen, Jared, Misha, and the writers, producers, crew, etc ARE these people for 8 days PER EPISODE. All ready, they have beat us, and I haven’t even totaled what the amount per YEAR they have. That is one episode!
I think we need to take a step back, because this is getting out of hand and I just can’t do this anymore. You are nearly ruining a show for me. I have contemplated deleting all my SPN blogs, sticking to the others I have, and watching the show in pure ignorant bliss.
Do you guys even think about what this does to the actors? Forget the crew, people you are basically unfamiliar with, and focus on our main three: Jared, Jensen. and Misha. I can only imagine the stress they under thinking their fans are revolting and they may be out of a job soon. Jensen just had a baby, Jared is getting ready to have another one, and Misha had one not too long ago. SPN fans should not be a worry right now! You guys claim to love these men so much, but you pull this shit and I am so disappointed in you guys.
What I want is to make a plea. Stop. Please, for the love of everything good and just in this crappy world, stop. You are ruining everything, and it isn’t even just the Destiel fandom! These shipping wars need to stop. Thinking you are entitled needs to stop. It all needs to stop. This is getting worse than Mean Girls and I am not afraid to push a whole group in front of a bus to get my point across.
So can we please just join hands again? Can we sing our song, cosplay our characters, write our harmless fanfiction (except Twist and Shout which was not harmless in the LEAST), and be happy again? Can we praise them instead of hate our favorite people again? Can we just go back to the way we used to be? Because I miss this salt packing, gun carrying, demon hunting, angel searching, Dad hating, soul giving, feels fearing family.
