Just as a bit of clarification, I honestly don't want people to stop writing or liking Sterek (and this secret was not meant as a "STEREK SHIPPERS ARE THE WORST AND WHILE I'M HERE LET ME TELL YOU WHY ANYONE WHO DISLIKES SCOTT IS AWFUL" thing, but I probably should have known that's where people would go with it). I'd just like it if some of the more enthusiastic parts of the Sterek fandom took it down a notch and realized that taking meta, posts, and discussions that are not about Sterek and making them about Sterek is both annoying and rude. It's also pretty exclusionary and makes the fandom feel a lot less welcoming to people who don't like Sterek or don't primarily like Sterek. The answer isn't so much that there needs to be less Sterek, as it is that there needs to be more other pairings/characters/things, but sometimes it's kind of hard to make more of the other stuff when every time you try there are a dozen people jumping in and getting Sterek all over it.

That, along with a lot of the general cluelessness about issues like race, gender, and sexual orientation, and the tendency of people on both sides of the issue to misappropriate causes and terminology to prop up their character and ship arguments, has made the fandom a pretty frustrating place to be at the best of times. I love the show and the characters, but lately I just tend to ignore the fandom at large and only bother talking about it with the friends I already have who like it. I'm currently hoping it just need to hit critical mass before the Sterek fervor can die down a bit and everyone on all sides will calm the hell down so I can enjoy my show about shirtless teenage werewolves without the residual fandom-induced headache.

You're secret is totally reasonable... it kind of surprised me that the comments came up with so much wank.
But hey if you want to message me, give a tumblr, etc we could fangirl and talk together.
