Being disgusted with fandom, and pleased/disappointed with canon

I made the mistake of reading the Supernatural tag on Tumblr and the Facebook page this week. Oh boy was that a mistake. :/

People calling Claire a bitch, a cunt, saying that she looks like a slut, that she's gained weight, that they hate the character and are praying for her to get killed. And I just don't get it.

There are many characters I've disliked over the years, in various shows and movies, and not once have I made a post or comment like that.
