Alright, here comes another rant of mine because once again, a part of the Supernatural fandom has gone too far. (Scroll down past if you donât want to read plz)
Hellers, answer me this. Why do you claim to be fans of the show when you so obviously are not? Iâve seen countless hellers openly admit to skipping the first 3 seasons of the show (which are VERY IMPORTANT as they establish the main characters, their backgrounds, their motivations, and the world in which this show takes place). Iâve seen you tell others that the first 3 seasons arenât important and that they can skip then (again wrong).
Iâve seen multiple people say that they skip any episodes that do not contain Cass (lol which is so many youâre missing like 90% of the storyline, especially in later seasons).
You hate the fact that the show was about FAMILY LOVE and the love between Sam and Dean and try to shove romance into the plot where it doesnât belong/is not needed. (Speaking of LGBTQIA+ you to realize that asexuals do enjoy seeing non-romantic mainstream shows right? And to try to say no the shows about romance and if you donât see that youâre homophobic etc etc)
You go out of your way to openly criticize the actors/people behind the scenes who donât agree with your viewpoint, even going to far as telling people they should kill themselves/should have aborted their daughter etc (Iâve already ranted about these so letâs move on).
Iâve seen you use stupid things such as the color of someoneâs shirt, the way someone sits/lays on something as showing how âgayâ or âbiâ they are (which is horribly stereotyping which Iâve also seen multiple people who are gay/bi call out out for).
You ignore actors who have told you MULTIPLE TIMES that their character is STRAIGHT and a LADIES MAN, and how he NEVER PLAYED THE CHARACTER LIKE THAT all because it goes against your narrative of how your ship is totally cannon in the show.
You attack others who donât ship your ship, calling them homophobic (even if they are, in fact, part of the LGBTQIA+), you cry about how itâs for REPRESENTATION even while completely ignoring cannon gay/lesbian couples unless they support the narrative youâre trying to spin.
An actor says âlove can be anything, it doesnât have to be romanticâ and accuse him of being homophobic.
Youâve gone as far as using the color of a characters clothing IN A SHOW THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SUPERNATURAL as proof that your ship is cannon (seriously that stupid âomg itâs hunter green and angel blue itâs so saying our ship is cannonâ was ridiculous and over the top)
Your sub section of the fandom is one of the most toxic, abusive things Iâve seen in my life.
Youâve all just shown that you didnât really like Supernatural, you like the version of Supernatural that you built up in your fanfics and in your echo chambers of shipping buddies. And when the real show ended without making what you thought was going to be the end game relationship real, you all exploded.
Youâve taken a character I used to love, who I thought was a badass and turned him into a crying lovesick teenager who I canât even stand to see. All because you insist on shoving your narrative into a show that never fit it in the first place.
Thank you for reading my rant (if you did) I might add more later, but Iâm done for now.
(Also donât come @ me with âYOU SHIP WINCESTâ as a legit answer, such answers will literally be ignored)
