Probably there is nothing I can say that is truly in defense of the Supernatural fandom, since I tend to stay the fuck away from episode reactions and stick to the fic/vids/art/occasional bit of meta if it's level-headed. This way, I get all of the good bits, but none of the bad bits--and I don't notice the actual glaring issues with the show until someone points them out months later, but oh well. (I'd like to think the "no girls allowed!" trend has settled down a bit, since the fourth season had not only a female character who flirted shamelessly with the boys and promptly became a fan favorite but also a recurring female character whose sex scene with one of the boys is generally considered the hottest of the show. But then, the first one was only in two episodes and the second one gets bashed for her acting, so. I'm just going to shut up now.)
