The other day we were laughing at the hateful mass of snarky questions posed to pro douchebag/romantic loser Robin Thicke in his #AskRobinThicke hashtag, but that guy has really earned his lumps. You'd think television shows with devoted fandoms would be somewhat safer. You'd be wrong. Just #AskSupernatural.

Okay, this shipping this is officially out of control. "Make two conically straight characters make out with each other or I hate you" seems to be the will of the people. Or at least the people who have absolutely nothing fucking better to do than publicly assault their favorite show on Twitter for a day. I particularly enjoy the one whose user name incorporates one of the actor's name and uses an avatar of "Destiel" with a heart around them insisting she'll never watch the show again.
Yeah, I believe that when about every fucking thing you post is about that show, EVEN IN THE OFFSEASON. How toxic has internet fandom become in the last ten years or so that we've come to this? In anime, this kind of psychotic obsession is called yandere.
Don't get me wrong, Supernatural has been limping for a while now and it's definitely not the powerhouse it used to be, but the lack of male-male buttsecks is not the reason for that. Well, now I'm looking forward to JJ Abrams trying to do one of these about the next Star Trek movie and getting wrecked by crazed Kirk/Spock (Spirk?) fans. So, anyone herecever wanted a romantic pairing to happen so bad that it affected your enjoyment of the show?
