I feel like I have to agree with you.

When I was younger, and was watching the show regularly, while I was all into the story and what not, I would get frustrated because the places the boys went to did not represent the America I knew (granted, not that there aren't parts of the US that aren't like what they showed, but still -- I even started to write an email to Eric Kripke lol, silly 15 y/o me). It was a lack of PoC, women, and I'm guessing you're addressing LGBTQ representation that would irritate me, but...I also realized what kind of story this was. And it was one that didn't necessarily include people like myself. In the same way, my actual story wouldn't necessarily cross paths with the Winchesters. Like ever. Hunting aside. I would be that random character who possibly made eyes at Dean when at a diner, because I happened to be on a road trip. It would have been a thing in passing, lol.

I realized then (mind you I was still young at the time) I couldn't count on this show to represent me, or others who aren't well repped in media like this, which is why I turned to fanfiction with OCs, because there were very few characters in the show (at least at the time I was watching)-- the characters I was looking for to "represent me". All this said, I still hold this show dear, I'll always love it, with all its problems. But, as the song goes, "you knew what it was when you signed up". But maybe that was just my cynicism. I don't know how much of it was intentional and how much of it (at least in the earlier seasons) was just...ignorance, to a certain extent? As in you're aware people other than you exist, however, they are some what nebulous, as they do not exist in your day to day -- they are something of an abstraction. In the very least, not the focus at all of your story. And ultimately, this is a story about two brothers and their family, and all the ups and downs therein, and the people in their immediate circle.

But I agree, I just let people do their fandom thing, and I do mine.
