AYRT

I understand that. Like I said, I think your reasons for disliking Bela are legitimate, and don't make you a misogynist at all.

And yeah - I mean, I actually really like Bela. Not because she's a good person or a good role model at all - no, she's a terrible person, and maybe "like" isn't the right word. I think she's a really interesting character, and I don't mind an interesting, even if unhealthy, baddie on occasion. But yeah, I would NOT call her a good role model at all. Yeah she's strong and assertive, but she's also selfish and manipulative.

But I hear what you're saying - it seems hard to express any negative opinions about the female characters without people jumping on you. The female character that I really don't care for is Meg, but even with her, I keep it relatively quiet - just because I don't want to face those accusations. But I don't like her because of who she is and what she's done, not because she's a female. And even though I don't like her, I regret that she was killed off - as a female, and also as the single longest-running character on the show after Sam and Dean (I believe). So yeah, I hear where you're coming from.

OP again

I didn't care much for Meg either until the past couple of seasons. Again, because she started to make some real connections with the main characters, however tentative. But continuity alone was reason enough to keep her around--as you say, she'd been around longer than anyone else except for Sam and Dean. (And the Ghostfacers. They are now the longest-surviving recurring non-main characters on the show, technically beating even Sam and Dean, who've died several times each. XD)

As I said further up the thread, I actually wouldn't object to seeing Bela come back for an episode or two as a demon. I think she'd be a great one, and it'd be a nice nod to earlier continuity.
