YES! What is with the rampant Dean hate these days? Like... I just don't understand what has spurred all of this on. I actually spent a fair amount of season eight being a little irked with Sam's behavior (I just sort of thought the writing for him in the earlier parts of season eight was weirdly shaky and OOC) but Dean...didn't have much to do this season, so I'm not understanding what the hate is about. It really baffles me.

ayrt

There's really been an uptick in Dean-hate. :( I think it goes back to people watching for a particular character and then getting angry when those around them are ~mean~ to them? And by "mean" here I mean "occasionally is hurt by said character's hurtful actions and dares to hold a grudge for a bit" and/or "doesn't bend over backwards immediately to be as reassuring and affectionate as possible" though even in that second example, practically all Dean did for the second half of the season was walk around being alternatively worried at Sam or Cas, depending on whichever one had been whumped greatest that week.

I agree with the writing for Sam being weird and shaky for the first half of the season. That irked me too. Then the second half of the season irked me for how it spat on previously established canon and made a mockery of itself. The horribly racist undertones with Man's Best Friend or the rageful treatment of Hell in the second trial? UGH.

But man, I don't get why anyone would be hateful at Dean right now unless it's a grudge held over from previous seasons. He didn't do anything this year! What's there to be hateful about?

I am not seeing *any* Dean hate. So weird!

Where are you hanging out? Dean hate is mild but ongoing on Tumblr and the anonmeme was lousy with it for a while there. Might still be, but I haven't really been following it lately. It's not typically awful stuff, but it'll be on the same level as this secret. It's very flat, negative readings of his character without any nuance or understanding.

Mostly on LJ and i read, of course, on LJ, DW and AO3. None of the Show tumblrs i follow have any Dean hate in them, but i'll readily admit i don't follow a *lot* of tumblrs. These are the Show ones:

http://spn-batcave.tumblr.com/
http://supernaturalwiki.tumblr.com/
http://just-j2.tumblr.com/
http://come-undone.co.uk/

and then http://arliss.tumblr.com/, but that tumblr posts *a lot*, so i just check in every couple days instead of following. A mix of stuff, but a lot of Show stuff.

I've never understood the 'misogynist!!' thing about Dean. Calling a demon that wants to kill you/your brother/your father/everyone you know a 'bitch' doesn't mean he hates women. Wth.
