You know, to be honest, it is comments like this that alienate me from the SPN fandom. There's this tendency (in every fandom, but I see it more often in the SPN fandom) to act like there's a lot at stake regarding tiny issues like which character you prefer. If you like Dean best, if you like Sam best, if you like [Fill in the blank] best, you are watching the same show. Liking Dean/Sam/Other best doesn't change the way you watch it. Sam having more fans than Dean wouldn't change the show itself, so why does it matter if a random person online does or doesn't like the character? More than that, she already said that she doesn't watch it.

It doesn't matter if Nan watches SPN or if she doesn't watch it. It doesn't matter if she theoretically thinks she'd prefer one brother over the other. There is nothing at stake here but you're acting like it's really important for her to know every detail about the canon before making a very important decision, when A) there's no decision to make since she doesn't watch the show, and B) it doesn't matter who anybody likes or dislikes.

ayrt

Wow, anon, that's a lot of hostility. I'm guessing you missed my response to Nan where I confirmed that it's not a big deal? I fully agree that who someone's favorite is isn't a big deal at all. And I'm totally down with Sam being Nan's (or whoever's) favorite if that winds up being the case. Nor not being Sam, whatever.

My issue was that Nan said that these two secrets made her predisposed to like one character and to dislike another one. That didn't seem right to me because the secrets themselves are very biased and not even based in canon.

Far from thinking that it's important that Nan know "every detail about the canon", I only brought up examples used in the original secret and those only because Nan said they were basing their decision to like/dislike characters on that secret. I wanted to clarify that the original secret poster's stance was very far removed from anything dealing with actual canon. My goal wasn't to slam Nan with ~all the canon~ or whatever, just to showcase that the stuff she was basing a decision to like (and dislike) characters off of wasn't even valid.

TBH, I think that you're the one overreacting here. It's an open forum and if you comment on something without knowing the full situation then you can expect that someone who does know will respond. It's all silly fandom stuff, of course. No one is going to deny it. But I didn't take my original response seriously, nor do I care who Nan likes or doesn't like, if Nan ever decides to watch the show. You're the one jumping in to scold people, which is extra silly as I had already stated the point you were scolding me for to begin with!

Maybe read the full subthread before starting a lecture next time? Just a thought.

Actually, again, you're overreacting because I was calmly explaining how I interpreted your comments. And, yes, in my opinion, you do come off as though you have something riding on her answer.

This is just getting sad, dude.
