Awful that you have to do this, RPF doesn’t normally float my boat but did enjoy your work as i always do. So glad I’ve got an account. If we start censoring, surely that’ll make us as bad as Nazis or Isis. I’ll back you in the right for free speech

The right to free speech depends on what country the website in question is domiciled! This isn’t an international right at all, though it is in Canada, where I’m posting from. Thanks for this, either way! This is just so ugly and unnecessary. I’m not in the SPN fandom at all, but I remember when it first came around and so, SO many people shipped “j-squared” rather than the brothers, because incest = ew. This was before Castiel was on the show, I guess. I would say that in those days, the RPF ship was the more popular one! I don’t know if there was drama with people sending the actors links or sending various threats to the authors, but come on - this thing called fandom exists for a reason. We don’t expect to sit down next to the actors who play these characters and gossip, you know? We expect them to stay where they are and for us to stay where we are. This is one of the reasons why I don’t like or do twitter. Some walls should stay where they are, in my humble opinion.
