User blog comment:Ceilingburn/why are there no recurring female characters on SPN?/@comment-5619706-20130328025809

Hey, I'm on tumblr too. It's keane14.tumblr.com. And the anon post below me was somehow correct--most of the reasons why there are no recurring female characters left is because of meta-reasons. Majority of the fanbase are women who either like to think the boys as theirs, or think the boys as within a romantic relationship with each other--I see it a lot on tumblr.

Not that I mean it's a bad thing, but more often than not their fantasies take hold of their judgment and they easily cast hate to female characters. This goes to the point that the show begins to appear misogynist.

Bela vs. Balthazar - both were thieves, looked out for themselves and their own survival most of the time, both had foreign accents--the woman was hated, the male character was loved

Jo vs. Adam - little/younger sibling characters, Jo was hated until she was bloody and dying, but a lot of fans always request for the return of Adam. Never mind that Adam did not consider Sam and Dean as his family, while Jo fought alongside them despite what happened to her father and John Winchester.

Anna vs. Castiel - I don't think I need to explain it. I'm not saying Castiel is a bad character--I'm actually a fan of his character too, I'm just saying Anna doesn't deserve more than half of the hate she got.

Naomi vs. Crowley - the fangirls hated Naomi the moment she stepped in, but they don't give a damn that Crowley did awful things, too. As long as the character has a penis, they're fine with him.

More recently, the hate towards Meg. But they will do every excuse they can to defend Lucifer.

Yep, just your regular day. That's why I reduced my time spending in tumblr, and spend my time here instead.
