Re: 124 OP, a tl;dr reply.

Thank you for the reply! Oh, I do know why a lot of people have a problem with RPS in general, but your second point is something I never considered, and a really interesting thought. Supernatural fandom (at least on LJ) is probably made up largely of seasoned slash fans who are in it for the guy/guy chemistry (not saying they're only in it for that, or that there's anything wrong with being into something for male bonding and chemistry; heck, I'm a slasher myself). It makes sense they'd largely be very used to many incarnations of fandom, and the various "extreme" ways it can and does go. Heroes being too mainstream is a good point. (Especially because I do notice a high degree of general-fandom n00b-ness there... for a lot of people it seems their first foray into fandom, in which case it makes perfect sense they'd be unfamiliar and/or uncomfortable with the notion of RPS.)

There certainly are people shipping it. But what made me wonder about that pairing is that there was an unusually large amount of secrets about it compared to how small its fanbase is. It seemed to me a case of the secrets:fans ratio being a bit skewed, which I interpreted to mean a lot of people were shipping it in hiding, not joining the fanbase.
