Re: So what's the deal with fandom X?

Do you like Gabriel and/or Crowley? Because if you do, I take issue with your reasoning for not liking Bela. As those two pretty much have the "cool, mysterious, know more than everyone else" and snarky personalities that Bela did, yet fandom tends to adore them and hate her. If you don't like them, then it just doesn't seem to be your type of character, and that is fine. (And I will not / can not argue that they were written perfectly. They were not. TPTB really don't seem to have a very good understanding of how to write fully fleshed out/complex female characters from what I'd seen. There was potential, but there were also issues.)

I think Bela's popularity has kind of grown? As either more people decided they liked her or more people entered fandom who were inclined to like her or there were more people like me who decided that (for the most part) they were willing to speak out and say they liked/loved her, despite fandom not feeling that way. That seems to be my impression, as I have found more people to talk to positively about her now than I could back in season 3. It might just be where I am, though? IDK.
