I think the fandom is what kept me from getting into the show. I tried to watch a few years ago because I should really love it but I kept thinking of how the fandom wank spilled out into every other fandom at the time. For YEARS.

I once started reading a fan's guide to it (while it was still airing) and when I got to the part that said "don't worry, those female characters never stick around long," I got afraid to interact with the fandom. Also I was mostly interested in seeing them kick ass on some demons and after a while I wasn't sure the show was about that.

As a former SPN fan who stopped watching halfway through the series because it became unwatchable... the fact that you're still pressed about it this many years later delights me to no end.

As someone who still gets triggered by hearing "Carry On My Wayward Son", you chose correctly.

My crazy stepbrother who was obsessed with SPN ruined that song for me years ago. It's a great track but now I can't hear it without thinking of him going into delusional rants about how there are "pedophiles" and "incest supporters" in the SPN fandom.

TBF, I’ve been told the Supernatural kink meme got some really fucked-up underage prompts. I’m not morally against fiction, but some of the stuff I heard about seemed discomforting.

this is my reaction too. i would probably have enjoyed the show, but the fandom is so creepy and nuts that i not only stay far away from it, but i also have an immense hatred for it for no reason other than the fans

yep. I watched the first five seasons when it was airing and then the fandom got so toxic I ran away and still can't stand anything spn-related. And when I encounter people in my fandoms who are also unironically and enthusiastically into spn - I avoid them at all costs, not only cos they can't shut up about it, but also cos I kinda doubt their overall adequacy. Unfair and petty of me for sure, but better safe than sorry.

I have never watched the show or deliberately followed the walk, but at one point it was so pervasive that I knew a lot of the details anyway. It was funny to hear about it third hand in other fandom spaces but it sure didn't make me want to watch the show.

This was me for quite a long time - I got so sick of seeing it everywhere and doubly sick of the fandom that seemed very vocal in non SPN spaces and sometimes toxic in regards to specific ships. I eventually watched it though, all the way through. It was fine. I liked the earlier seasons better. But at least now I understand some of the memes when I see them (SPN stuff still seems to somehow pop up everywhere.)

The fandom was why I avoided the show.
Then there was a guest actor I really wanted to see and now I've ended up watching most of the first season and I'm enjoying it and I have conflicted feelings about the whole thing.

I feel that way about Stephen Universe. I just stay away from any self-proclaimed fan.

(Anonymous) 2023-10-18 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Ditto here, OP. I hated anything at all Supernatural and blacklisted it all over the place until, I dunno, 8 years in, when some whumpy gif finally caught me and I looked up that specific episode and that was it. I watched 5 seasons in like a week? I'm of the belief the show could have ended very nicely at the end of S5 but I don't regret watching it all the way through until the penultimate episode.

I still haven't watched the final ep and never will. pfft.

(Anonymous) 2023-10-18 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
SA oh, and I mean I watched the show and avoided the fandom entirely. I've never interacted with any of the fans. Except, I guess, right here right now lol.

I've only seen the Scooby Doo crossover, which was fun, but didn't make me want to watch the rest of the series
