it's okay, i understand. this is an outrage. and yes, what you've said - exactly. if he can't think for himself, why nobody tells him that what he posts is simply wrong. he is not, like, johnny-depp-kind-of famous (for example) to get away with this shit. i mean, half of the fandom is turning against him. slowly, but they do. did he lost the sense of reality or something, idk. i'm so mad right now, and i'm very sorry if my messages make you even more mad. i just wanted to talk with you a bit.
Right. I think being on Tumblr is a different experience for me than on LJ -- obviously, Twitter wasn't a big thing when LJ was popular, so you have this effect where we the fans seem to be much more exposed to each other and interactive (at least, for me, personally -- I usually stuck to my own friends list on LJ) coupled with Twitter accounts for the cast and crew of media we participate in. So watching him say this uninformed opinions (and just general stupid shit) and then watching this sort of bigger--and sometimes younger--audience just sticking up for him or excusing horrific behavior annoys the hell out of me.
No worries! They're not making me mad at all! I just went off on Twitter myself; apologizing to you because a) I don't mind having a dialogue about it and encourage that! and b) I hope I don't appear angry for all the cursing. Ha, his stupidity merits cursing really, as you understand. ;)
I'm a little curious though about the fandom turning against him because a couple of years ago I could've seen that (I think it was around S4?), but now everyone's pretty blase about any shit he's up to so... I don't know.
Then again SPN's been on for so long (please let the 10th season be the final one) so I think it's approached the "oh that Padalecki!" sort of excusable phase for him which is awful. But whateverrr! You keep truckin', fandom. Just don't forget that blindly following that idiot is a way that leads to madness.
