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.)

[atgdng]

Damn. Well, I'll just keep lurking where I have been, then, since it seems pretty sane. o_0

[(Anonymous)]

If you've found a good corner, I'd say definitely stay there. Don't get me wrong, there are some great parts to the fandom and some super awesome people, but it's best to skirt the edges. Lol.

[(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.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, no. Call me when Teen Wolf develops a group like the spn_anon insanity. Not saying all the SPN fandom is like that, but that kind of thing is what's made SPN so notorious, above and beyond.

And I'm not defending Teen Wolf - the "nicest fandom ever" thing is a bit delusional. And they do have a bad case of group-think. But from where I'm standing it's still just the plain ordinary wank that most fandoms will end up having. SPN is still in a class of its own.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know. I think declaring that your preferred ship is a "gay rights issue," and that if it doesn't become canon then it means that the show's writers are bigots, and then doing everything you can to pressure the writers into making it canon...is pretty crazy.

[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 :/

[(Anonymous)]

From what I've heard, Merlin gets close.

[rivia]

yeah i'm not really involved/pay any attention to merlin much anymore, so that might be why i hadn't heard anything about that. i wouldn't be very surprised though.

[(Anonymous)]

Teen Wolf is getting there, considering some fans broke into one of the actor's houses a few months back. I think in both cases, part of the reason is that the actors are all pretty accessible to the fandom, and some people assume that a celeb tweeting you or having a photo op with you means they're you're BFF. And just... no. They're awesome to talk to and interact with fans, but they are not your friends and their personal lives are really not your business. Stop being creepy assholes. :|

[rivia]

omfg what i hadn't heard that D: who's house was it that was broken into?

yeah i agree that's definitely part of it. plus the bubble effect that fandom has where people just forget that some stuff just isn't okay. like the fan who wanted someone to sign some slash fanart (that they didn't even draw) at a convention. or the person i used to be friends with on lj who was debating pics she got from hacking (or knowing somebody who did) an actor's close friends facebook, and so on. some people just seem to lose all ability to tell what's crossing a line, they're the ones who are just embarrassing.

[(Anonymous)]

Stephen Lunsford (the dude who played Matt). Also, some creepy girl got his phone number and was pretending to be Colton to try and get him to come over? SO SKEEVY.

It's so true! Luckily, I do usually see people who will step up and be like "NO, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU. STAHP." when people pull shit like that, but guys... seriously. How would you react if someone was like "HERE SIGN THIS PICTURE OF ART OF YOU NAKED WITH YOUR CO-WORKER." Most of the actors are good about having a sense of humor about things, but you can take them too far. Like the people who were talking about asking Hoechlin in a panel sometime about whether or not Derek has a knot on his dick. Ugh, people. *facepalms*

[(Anonymous)]

"debating pics she got from hacking (or knowing somebody who did) an actor's close friends facebook"

Was that the Hiddleston one? I hope there weren't two incidents of this kind of asshattery.

[(Anonymous)]

It's getting fucking embarrassing to follow some parts of this fandom. There's this compulsive need to name every single project as "Sterek", even though they could easily include all of the fandom with simple "Teen Wolf". Like this help the wolves thing that's going on. It would be a great idea, but I'm not going to touch it with a stick.

[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.
