Supernatural Fandom: daring to choose insanity as a way of life.
Part the first: A T-shirt is auctioned at a convention, with Jared [actor playing Sam] wearing the shirt during the auction. Misha Collins [Castiel] bends Jared over to sign it. Jensen [Dean] turns away and buries his face in his palm. The audience roars its approval. Watch the video. (The lazy can skip to the 2 minute mark.)

The question: Is this (a) funny or (b) abusive toward poor Jared?

Oh, come on. Like it was ever going to be option (a).

Part the second: But, wait! We're overlooking another traumatized party in this debacle: Can't you just feel Jensen's deep and agonizing pain? Maybe keepaofthecheez can't, but susannaheanes can! (For reference, see also Dean will never be a misogynist because I like him and Jensen's freckles: like melted drops of caramel.)

She goes on to express her personal outrage. Nothing captures the context of the original event better than a closeup still of Jensen with his face in his hands. How could anyone dare to laugh at this portrait of a man in soul-searing pain? (The link is to one of esorlehcar's screencaps, as susannaheanes later locked her post. esorlehcar has preserved some choice quotes and several more screencaps.)

AND SPEAKING OF WHICH...

Part the third: Persecution! Is there anyone on earth crueller than esorlehcar? How dare she mock a post that was made in susannaheanes own journal? My God, she must have had multiple tabs open to be able to cap the unlocked version of that post-- or have taken screencaps when she first saw it. Clearly, she's the overinvested one here.

If only fandom_wank would identify and mock the true wankers in Supernatural fandom, and stop picking on poor susannaheanes.

I've got to start checking wank_report more frequently.
