Second thing: the thing is, SPN writes really, really crappy women characters. They're just bad at it. When they do write a decent character, she either turns evil, gets killed off, or both.

They write really crappy characters, mostly. They're not great at writing characters. With the exception of Bobby (and I think he mostly works as a character because Jim Beaver is a phenomenal actor who's also pretty talented as a playwright himself) and Dean and Sam (and I think they get an exception because the show is so central to them and the writers have spent so much time defining them and getting to who they are), I don't think there's any really great characters. The writers just aren't good at that whole aspect of the thing. Which is okay, I don't think they really need to be for the show to succeed as what it is, but it's fact.

So yeah, I think most of the female characters are pretty bad. Most of the writing is.

it's just that there ARE so many that hate the female characters just because they're female that the rest of us may get frustrated... especially when you know it's because annoying fans made noise.

I think both of those things are also true, though. It's overdetemined, as they say.
