Fuck’em. Bring it.
I’ve deal with crazy Wincest fans, I can deal with Burtonesque JaSam fans.
We're all allowed to like what we like and ship what we want. If they don't dig what you do, they can shut up and piss off.
Honestly, I will not put up with that kind of BS anymore.
Personally, I think it's a HUGE disservice to fans to ever have brought Steve Burton back. He made the decision to leave in the first place -- saying it was for personal reasons but when it became very clear it was all about the buck$ -- so he's the one who ditched fans of the ship to begin with.
They brought in another actor who made the role his own without really injuring the character history and with a LOT of chemistry with Kelly Monaco. And what a huge thing to do, to take on this much-beloved role to begin with, and to do it WELL.
So bring SB back is a bullshit move IMO and everyone is well within their rights to disagree, but anyone starting this "true" fan bullshit with me can go fornicate themselves with an iron stick -- preferably a pointed, rusty one.
