Um. Good for you? I didn't say that everyone disliked him for those reasons, just that they're by far the most common ones that I've seen. I would scarcely presume to speak for all of fandom, just my own experiences within it. *shrug*

[identity profile] wanttobeatree.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
They're by far not the most common reasons I've seen, so your experience clearly isn't crossing over into mine. If you don't want to speak for all of fandom, then perhaps keep the VAST DRAMATIC CAPSLOCK EMPHASIS majorities out of it, hmm? It gets a little irritating on top of secrets like this.

[identity profile] ginzai.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
My apologies if you were offended, but no. I don't think I'll make a change in how I communicate simply because it goes against your sensibilities.

Coupla points to recall - I said "people who hate Castiel", not people who dislike him and I said "people I've met", not all of fandom. And in my experience, the people who actually hate Castiel - not merely dislike him or are indifferent to him - hate him because of the reasons I specified above. Obviously YMMV because we haven't had the same experiences.

[identity profile] wanttobeatree.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, you highlighted that it's "people you've met", but really now? "VAST majorites" - what kind of effect were you going for there other than WOW WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE!! If you're going to do that, and be unwilling to change how you communicate to make it less annoying to people whose experiences vastly differ from your own, then I'm going to come and be irritated at you. It can be a mutually annoying experience.

*IRRITATION*

Now I'm going to bed.

And for the record, I REALLY HATE Castiel, so here is a new statistic for you to add your experiences.

Well, it WAS a lot of people. Still not seeing the issue here. You seem pretty overinvested into this concept though, especially since it all sprang from a reading comprehension fail.

I'm not annoyed, for the record. A little amused, yes, but not annoyed. You go on hating if that's what makes you happy! :D

[identity profile] wanttobeatree.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
OH NO, you have uncovered my terrible, terrible secret overinvestment in people's language use. All of these years of studying linguistics and I never knew. Please. My issue is that I don't like people using imprecise language. You are apparently happy to do so! I'm sure the next person who takes issue will just be suffering from ~reading comprehension fail~ too. ENJOY.

(Anonymous) 2009-11-18 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"The VAST majority of people I've met" (emphasis mine)--in context of a comment that says "I can understand your frustrationg, OP, because I've talked to a lot of people who hate Castiel for this reason too, but remember that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of people who dislike the character for other reasons" did not not translate into "Everyone who hates Castiel hates him for that reason and btw I speak for all of fandom" to me.

[identity profile] ginzai.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, anon. I get that everyone is defensive right now, but that definitely was getting ridiculous. :)

(Anonymous) 2009-11-19 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol defensive.

*never watched an episode of supernatural in my life and have no intention of ever doing*

(Anonymous) 2009-11-18 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Saying what pretty much amounts to "I'm not going to change my behaviour just because the way it makes people feel they are being generalized about and stereotyped makes them feel bad" makes you come across as kind of an ass.

I don't know if it is, but if the way you're coming across here is unintentional, I thought you might like to know.

I guess if you really don't care how other people feel and you're totally uninterested in hearing it, then sorry for bothering you. I just feel the need to say something, sometimes.

[identity profile] ginzai.livejournal.com 2009-11-18 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'd think you had a point had the offense not come from a reading comprehension fail. Also, I said in my original response that there are multiple reasons to dislike a character and while those are popular reasons to dislike him, they aren't the only ones.

You can think me an ass if you'd like, but I'm not sure how much more clearly I can state that I was a) talking solely from my own experience; b) talking specifically about the Castiel haters, not just those who dislike him or aren't interested in him; and c) not even talking in absolutes about those haters.

Condescending demands from people who honestly come across as hypersensitive and overly defensive aren't going to make me change my behavior. Which isn't you, in this case; you're more passive aggressive and more outright insulting in turns, but what hey, that's not going to get me to change, either. :)

People get all kinds of crazy in this fandom. The defensiveness really needs to be taken down a notch; I think we've all be a lot happier and relaxed if people could do so.

(Anonymous) 2009-11-19 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ffs this is not a racism or sexism discussion, it's a couple of people getting their panties in a wad because some one the internet said that a lot of people they have met hate a character for a particular reason, with out naming names.

But generally, when I see people get that defensive about stupid shit (because supernatural couldn't really be classified as much else), I often wonder if the person they are replying to hit the nail on the head, so that those people assume that comment is about them.
