I'm of two minds on this. First and foremost, though: Supernatural has such a large fanbase that you can find WHATEVER you want, pretty much. I know; I primarily ship rarepairs and characters that often have no input from Sam, Dean and Castiel. And yet I still find plenty of fic and art to sate my appetite.

You don't get to be the jerk who hates and complains about all the ~evil Dean/Castiel posts on comms where every pairing is allowed. I'm guessing you mean all inclusive communities, because why would a large amount D/C be in, say, Wincest? If you ship Wincest, and surprise D/C ninjas in, okay, I feel you, but otherwise, those comms are all inclusive for a reason. Go follow Wincest (if you like that), Dean_Jo, SPN_Gen, SPN_Rarepair, and/or the scores of other communities where you WON'T see "domestic Dean/Castiel". I know plenty of people who DON'T ship Dean/Castiel are feel just as included as everyone else.

I will concede, however, that a lot of Dean/Castiel shippers can be annoying. When they sent out mass PMs for that stupid, unofficial pairing poll, for example, and suggested we vote once a minute for like 10+ hours, I thought, lol no. Screw that, I've got a life. Also, don't PM me with stuff like that. Ever. And I ship Dean/Castiel.

Obsessiveness isn't exclusive to them, however. A lot of Wincest fans bother me, too, with how bitter they are by the mere existence of Dean/Castiel. Recently, an exchange challenge for Dean/Castiel was created, and I saw SO MANY butthurt Wincest shippers railing on it. My thought then was, holy fuck, WHO CARES? You do not have to be involved with that community in any way, shape or form! There are so many challenges in SPN comms, for so many characters and pairings, where you can do whatever you like! Create your own exchange challenge where Dean/Castiel is against the rules!

So yeah, I don't think there's really higher ground to stand on, though maybe you don't ship either? I say again, though, that I'm very happy in SPN fandom - probably because I ship Dean/Castiel, Wincest, Sassy, Balthazar/Cas, Dean/Gabriel, rare character/rare character, rare character/popular character...and pretty much everything else. Multishipping FTW.

This is actually a pretty good summary of SPN's shipping fandom.
