Clearly you a) haven't been in very many fandoms and b) are trolling the wrong corners of SPN fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

Since quite a lot of fans agree Supernatural fandom is it's own level of awful, I think OP might actually be right on the ball. Wanky about it, sure, but still correct.

[rivia]

yup. from my own experiences, even if you manage to curl yourself up in a little ball on the corner, there will still be shrapnel from the war going beside you to tear you right up. i can't think of a better metaphor, oh well.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, even of you stay out of the comms and just lurk and read fic you'll get sideswiped by the wank - for example, the current Sam vs. Dean wank sparked by the last episode has even made itself known in snarky fic requests on SPNstoryfinders.

[lunabee34]

Do tell more about this wank. *chinhands*

[(Anonymous)]

It's definitely wanky, but I've seen worse. Sherlock, Teen Wolf, HP... yeah, there's definitely worse out there.

[atgdng]

Really? Teen Wolf? I've been lurking around for a while and honestly thought it was the most wank-free fandom I've ever seen.

[(Anonymous)]

It seems wank free at first, but it's really not. I've never seen so much whining and histrionics and demanding ass fans, and that is coming from someone in SPN fandom.

(Also, there are quite a few wanky ppl from SPN who made the transition to TW after season 6 and 7 of SPN.)

[(Anonymous)]

It can get pretty wanky if you say something against Sterek or Jeff Davis.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh come on. Teen Wolf? I won't deny the show has had its fair share of wank, but worse than SPN? Not even close.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a new fandom so it hasn't had as long, but I'd definitely say for the amount of time it's been around it has an equal level of wank, given all the shit that fans pull on both one another and the creators.

[stuck4aname]

I would definitely say the TW fandom is worse than the SPN fandom. At least the SPN fandom can admit it's full of wank. The TW fandom seems to be under a delusion that it's the "nicest fandom ever", which it really, really isn't. Well, it might be, if Sterek is your OTP, Stiles is your favourite character (usually for reasons that have no grounding in canon whatsoever), and Jeff Davis is your god.

[rivia]

maybe they have more wank, but i haven't seen a fandom that had such a complete lack of boundaries for actors and people involved with the show. there are so many horror stories, the amount of harassment they (and their families) get is what i think makes them the worst :/

[tabaqui]

Meh. I haven't run into any wank about SPN for ages. Sure, some ep reviews are 'i didn't like that' but...wank?

Nope. I luff my fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt's second point was that if OP wants to troll, F!S is the wrong place. spn_gossip and timblr would take this secret waaaaaay too seriously and it would spawn annoying wank.
But yes, SPN wins the prize for wankiest fandom ever - and yes, I like the show.

[(Anonymous)]

Are there good corners of SPN fandom, though? Because I've been desperately looking for some good SPN blogs to follow on tumblr and pretty much every single one of them is at some point full of disgusting hate for some of the characters. It's like SPN fandom is incapable of just not talking about the characters they dislike instead of mentioning in every second post how XYZ is THE WORST EVER.

[(Anonymous)]

I find it's best if you can find people who are multi-shippers or non-shippers and who post a lot of Team Free Will stuff. In my experience, you're less likely to find hate that way. They're hard to find sometimes, though, since there are so many SPN fans on Tumblr, and a lot of the "bigger" or more well-known blogs are people who are big fans of a certain character or a certain ship. Most of the people I follow I know off of Tumblr, so I kind of had a built in corner of awesome going into things. Lol.

[(Anonymous)]

I suppose it doesn't help that I'm a John fan and even a lot of nice blogs who don't have any ship wank still have total hate-ons for John and like to write tags about how he was the worst father in the history of humanity.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not really a blog so much as recaps, but try caffienekitty on LJ. Her posts are hilarious and thoughtful - and though she's not afraid to mention when something needs to be improved, she still seems to be genuinely enjoying the show and curious about where it's going, a refreshing change from the general 'THIS SHOW SUCKS WILL IT NEVER DIE' attitude.

[lunabee34]

Not sure exactly what you're looking for here, OP, but here's links to my SPN meta posts and my SPN recs:

I don't consider myself a part of the fandom anymore although I occasionally read and write and episode review. I'd be happy to talk with you about the show if you're interested, and I generally like all the characters (although full disclosure, I am not really enjoying this current season).

[ellie_oops]

I lurk in spn_party on lj and the people in they make a good attempt to be wank free. Sadly, you are going to be hard pressed to find something 100% wank free.

However, most of the posters are Cas and Destiel fans, if that's not your thing, you may feel left out. It isn't that they hate on other characters, but they like you more if you like Cas or ship Destiel. It is kind of cliquey in that respect.

[(Anonymous)]

Spn_party is definitely cliquey and there is a discernible undercurrent of Sam hate. Well, maybe not Sam hate so much as rather blatant Dean favoritism. So while they admirably try to control wank, it is not the welcoming environment that they like to pretend they are.

[(Anonymous)]

There are, I suppose you just have to find a merry band of like-minded fans and stay in that box.

At least, that's what I did. And I'm perfectly happy.

[(Anonymous)]

See, but that's actually the problem. You have to find "like minded" fans to hang around with. If you're a Cas fan, you have to find a Cas- fan place. If you're a Sam girl, you have to fins other Sam girls. The different groups can not meet anywhere because they can never interact, ever, without wank.
