 Regarding Negativity

I love this show. I do. I am committed so deeply I cannot begin to express it. I tweet about it. A lot. Daily, A lot daily. But I have never, ever complained or belittled any of it. I cannot understand why anyone would spend literally hours out of their day being miserable . But I've been noticing a growing rebellion of so called "fans' who rant on and on about characters, writers, producers and storylines and I can't help but wonder if it makes you so angry and hurt why keep watching? Now I think everyone should be watching. But to say you're glad ratings go down and you hope they keep falling or to make a writer take a twitter break because you're bullying him...doesn't make you a fan. It makes you a complaining ..bully. I truly get my own feelings hurt when characters and actors are attacked on twitter. It hurt me deeply when Adam decided it was too much. I hated Beliebers hating on Jared. I cry and defend Jensen and Dean when they are hated on. I worry when I see Cas referred to as TGDA . I don't like negative speculation about what's going to happen. I think the thing that upsets me the most outside of the hating is the "fans" that say something as if someone at the show has given them the 411 when the reality is... it's their own head canon. Now this sounds a little negative, But here's the thing...for a whole bunch of us Supernatural is as Adam so eloquently put it "one of the best things to happen to me". We like sharing our fears, tears, joys and squees. We don't enjoy being unhappy in our fandom. One of the reasons BATB beat us for PCAs is the fact that they are not a divided fandom. Sam girls and Dean girls and Cas girls need to live in harmony. I love them all. As well as a certain Trickster...and a lost prophet or two and a devil and a king of Hell. So I'm going to continue being positive. I am supporting my show, my boys, my writers and producers. Because it makes me happy. My friends in this fandom make me happy because they share my joy. I'm not engaging in negativity anymore. If that means unfollowing, I will. This means too much to me and lots of others to be dwelling in the purgatory of fandom. It's my little slice of Heaven. So.
