I don't get why fans would ship destiel I mean can dean and cas just be friends and not turn it into sex? Also dean is straight that's canon and dean can have any woman he wants. Patience being gay is just too much but I don't care about her and I don't care about jody. Dean was the real hero! Sam is an asshole! Cas should stay dead and jack needs to go away

Okay… I mean, I know my ask message policy states that anyone’s free to leave messages, even if it’s just venting or whatever, and that I don’t normally reply to wanky messages because I really don’t enjoy participating in fandom drama. I am here (in fandom) because I’m enjoying myself, as well as this dumb show and the other fans of said dumb show who like similar things about it and enjoy talking about it and generally doing this for funsies. So I already have a very limited understanding of the sort of person who deliberately seeks out people who like a thing that they don’t like just to leave anonymous messages like this one.

And I do get a fair number of anonymous messages that I never reply to for one reason or another. I get quite a goodly number of messages along the lines of “I don’t get why people ship destiel.” Some of them are more genuinely interested in understanding the actual reasons, but this message strikes me as being thinly veiled homophobia, and outright hate, and that’s just something I don’t understand.

I’m sure you’re aware of the content of my blog. I’m sure you’re aware that I spent a significant portion of my time talking about all these things you apparently hate. And yet… you took the time out of your day to bother seeking me out to tell me this.

Boy, do I have a surprise for you! I ALREADY KNOW THERE ARE HORRIBLE HATEFUL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD! You have surprised me not one whit.

I’m sorry that you feel so insecure about the things you enjoy that you feel threatened by random people on the internet who are here for fun. I’m just baffled that anyone can let hatred take over their lives to the degree that they’d seek out someone who specifically avoids using general fandom tags specifically because I just do not care that anyone hates what I enjoy. I honestly don’t care that you don’t understand why I ship destiel, why I love Patience, or Jody, or Sam Winchester, or any character on this show.

I mean, the show you’re proposing would be Dean Winchester in the Empty, just sorta floating through nothingness, in abject misery, because DEAN wouldn’t want to live in a world without Sam, or Cas, or Jody, or Patience (I have a feeling his grief-addled opinions on Jack will evolve, too, because Dean is Not An Asshole).

I’ve been struggling with this message because it just seems… so freaking over the top ridiculous as to seem like crack masquerading as anon hate. Like, how can anyone be this gross and clueless?

So I’m gonna assume that this is someone’s idea of a joke, because I have a hard time believing anyone is actually this pitiful.
