First off you are beating a comatose horse.

Second, no one can say this for sure because it all depends on how they characterized Castiel. If he'd been female but maintained ALL of his personality traits (his badass-ness, his clueless-ness, his devotion to his father, his change of heart to denounce heaven and take humanity's side, his fascination with dean, his doubt, his fall from grace, his recent childlike behavior,) I believe the fandom would've embraced her. The problem is, looking at that list, there's no way I can see the SPN writers giving that many layers to a female character. They seem to have a set of default molds when it comes to girls: victim, scheming shrew, evil monster, caring bystander, mother. Blaming fandom for not liking a cardboard cutout, especially when they are asked to believe the boys care for them for some reason, is unfair. It's the writers' shortcoming for not extending the same faults/complexities/psychological hiccups they do men to women.
