While I'm on the topic of 5.13

Dear Supernatural,

Please to stop killing your wimmens.

Seriously.

I'm going to start taking it personally at this point. Just because one part of fandom hates the female characters you introduce (here's a hint: fandom is BATSHIT CRAZY and you should ignore them!), that doesn't mean you should automatically kill them off the minute they start being strong, interesting and independent.

No love,

Me


Heck, I don't like Anna. I just don't want her to be dead. I DID like Ellen and Jo, and I'm really pissed that they essentially died for nothing. Why the HELL did they kill off Pamela? That was completely narratively uninteresting.

In short, if you're a woman on Supernatural you may as well be wearing a red shirt and wandering away from the party.

This isn't a deal-breaker for me, because I do love the show otherwise. Still, it pisses me off.

It's so true. I keep introducing women in my fanfic just because I need some estrogen around! otherwise there's too much testosterone. Sometimes you need a woman around, you know?

I know! I keep wanting to introduce happy, healthy, well-adjusted women in my fiction, too. I love reading good OFCs, too.

I really, REALLY want the Show to fix that aspect of itself. Why do all the men get to cheat death but the women don't?
