Reddit reviews Fan Phenomena: Supernatural

Well there's SPN Anti-Bullying on twitter and on tumblr. Funny enough (or heartbreaking enough), they get a lot of shit thrown their way.

> I also want to throw in that I'm sick of certain groups throwing hate on shippers.

This is a very good point and one that's brought up a lot in our sub. It's different but is no less bullying though. For example, while I believe the bullying within the fandom comes from a misplaced use of passion, I believe that the people "outside" (i.e. casual viewers) are made uncomfortable by shipping for entirely different and personal reasons. Which I can also delve a lot into.

I should really write an essay on this topic but the lovely ladies over at fangasm have in fact written about the Supernatural fandom here and here. I haven't read them yet (cause no ebook version) but I do believe they touch upon the negative aspects of the fandom and the struggles within.
