Fandom, you're annoying me right now.

Supernatural- did you HAVE to kill off yet another black man? At first I got really excited that you had a person of color playing a major role, but the moment he called humans mud-monkeys I shook my head and stopped caring about the character. I just... I love the show, I really do. But do you think they could try to be less racist and less misogynist? Because that would be really awesome. I'm also a little annoyed that most people on the boards at TWoP are like, FINALLY! Uriel is dead! Hooray! I know that he 'had to die' for the episode, but his story could have been so interesting! What would make a specialist like Uriel, an angel in God's army for thousands of years, decide to turn to Lucifer? Instead we got a short speech about humanity sucking, then a quick fistfight, then BAM! Stabbed through the throat. I'm just... annoyed.

Bandom- QUIT HATING ON THE WOMEN! Goddamn, but I'm getting sick of this. Pete Wentz is my current favorite for calling out all the haters and subtle sexism that goes on, for serious. I've said this before and I'll say it again- It is perfectly fine to dislike a band's music. I don't like Tyga, so I don't listen to him. But I don't go around talking shit about him! If you dislike Hey Monday, don't listen to them! But quit saying that they're only popular because Cassadee is pretty! Or, on the other hand, say you love the band but hate Cassadee. That is bullshit. Cassadee is the lead singer, she is the frontwoman, they wouldn't be Hey Monday without her. So lay off!

I just don't get it. Is it jealousy? I'm jealous of their success, I'll admit it. I would do all sorts of things for RiP to get big. But I also admire them for doing it! All this hatred makes me think of Mean Girls- these little haters are tearing people down to try and make themselves feel better. But it doesn't work, and I wish they'd just stop.

Gah! Off to go listen to Hey Monday and do my homework. New friends, sorry for the ranty intro. Although I did warn you...

I've pretty much given up on expecting anything like...socially conscious from SPN. They're going to hate on women and make black men evil. I try to ignore it or I'll just end up hating the show. I would've loved to see some Uriel backstory though, even just Castiel asking him what happened to make him think like this. It would take two minutes!

Cassadee seems adorable and I really don't get why everyone seems to hate on her. And I love HeyMonday - they're like the actually good version of Paramore! People just need to...leave the band alone if they don't like them, and stop being dicks about Cass because she...what, has a vagina? And those are OBVIOUSLY evil. Whatever, bandom, you might hate women almost as much as SPN.

Yeah, SPN is not a socially conscious show. Which makes me sad, because they have a woman as a main writer. I just... I want more from the show, I think they're smart writers and I want them to do better.

I get if people dont like their music- to each their own. I also get if people have met her and dislike her, or heard from reliable sources that she is not all that cool. But rabid hate for no reason (other than her super evil vagina) really pisses me off.
