Women Who Hate Dean Hating Women Hating... wait.
Let's see if I can do this properly.

Hiatus in the Supernatural fandom officially started last Friday, and already fans are getting a little stir-crazy.
There have been small-time rumblings from various corners of LJ this season over gender issues and many of these rumblings have involved Dean Winchester, one of the two stars of Supernatural.

There are spoilers about the finale of course.

Let's start things out with a calm-ish post by esorlehcarwherein we learn that she was very upset by the finale:

And a follow-up with links to Why Using Sexist Language is Bad And Like Racism Only Not
http://esorlehcar.livejournal.com/581952.html

But she's not the only one who was upset. lj-user sevenfists was BORED with Dean's death:

The misogyny is so bad, people might not watch next season they're so upset!

But fear not SPN fandom, for we have numbers to back up this dramatic turn of events. trollprincess brings in the statistics with Bitchwatch:

All of the above have been fairly calm, all things considered, but the real wank starts pouring in when sazzlette posts a rebuttal called Dean Winchester is a sexist asshole
http://sazzlette.livejournal.com/394683.html
She starts it out with:
Dear all of you whiny, self important females.

Please, for the love of God, shut the fuck up about Dean and his misogyny. I have to say that, to a point, I agree with you. It annoys me that Sam has taken after his brother and started behaving like a jerk. This has never been a part of Sam's character the way it has Dean's, and I think they're taking this whole Sam-becoming-like-Dean thing too far. Sam and Dean generally annoy me this season, in fact, but that's an entirely different kettle of fish.

Uh oh.

esorlehcar, naturally, makes a response:

I always wonder if anyone actually thinks the "shut the fuck up and get out of my fandom if you don't agree with me" posts will actually work.

They don't?
The gauntlet has been thrown down, and now the wank is spreading throughout LJ-land, with many SPN fans posting either "I agree and Dean sucks!"; "I agree and Kripke sucks!"; "I disagree and you suck!' and "I am upset over fandom and wank sucks!"

There's a lesson to be learned here ~~Sam~~ fellow FW'ers: it really is going to be a long summer for SPN fans.

eta: and for added FAIL, the poster of this wank has not figured out auto-formatting. Would anyone be kind enough to link me to the FAQ that deals with LJ-tags? When I try to use the search function I keep running into a page about harassment. Maybe it is a sign?

	Uhmmm. This is about Dean insulting a demon he doesn't trust and a woman who killed her own parents and has stolen the boys repeatedly or I'm missing something else? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Aperantly it's about a rapid increase in "bitch" "whore" "slut" "skank" and other assorted insults, aimed not only at demons but also at normal women, and more plotlines that seem to have very unsubtle mysogonist undertones. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Is it really that hard to figure out even after reading the links? Am curious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	People actually read the links? That's crazy talk. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	lvlysnidrus 2008-05-20 02:23 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's basically it. I can't recall Dean insulting any woman unless she deserved it. grabs a towel, told herself she wasn't going to reply to this wank because her opinion's in the minority (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You should have quit while you were ahead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lvlysnidrus 2008-05-20 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	eyebrow raise Much like he only insults the men who deserve it. I specified women because that was the question. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mael 2008-05-20 02:37 pm UTC (link)
	No, really. You should have quit while you were ahead. Tell me, since you believe skank, slut, and whore were justified, when did Ruby ever have sex with multitudes of men for money? Oh, she didn't? You mean Dean was just using sexist slurs to demean a woman he did not like? Shocking display of MISOGYNY right there, bucko. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
