I used to be a hardcore Wincest/J2 shipper. This is why I stopped.
I’ve honestly never come across more vile, hateful people than those who genuinely believe that Jared and Jensen are married to one another and are putting up this elaborate PR conspiracy to hide their sexual orientation from the world.
Believing this in fiction is one thing, believing this in reality is what has pulled me away from fandom in general, but most of all my favorite ships. I’m just really tired of all the hate that gets placed on these two beautiful women and their children all because some cowards behind their computers can’t accept that their clit material doesn’t have value in the real world.
We’ve reached the point where both Jared and Jensen have said that the most troubling part of their online experience is the hate their wives receive. You want to know what my followers on Twitter said after these quotes came out? That they were false. That Jared and Jensen didn’t know anything about online culture and that they were exaggerating.
Look at these screencaps above and take off your blinders.
Why is it that you are too so self-involved in your own worlds to understand the kind of abuse you’re putting these women through? Why is it that you can constantly lash out at fans for all sorts of personal viewing preferences, like who their favorite character on the show, but you can’t stop for a second and talk about the wife hate and how it’s evolved now to include their children and how this is not okay? Why can’t you all look at your own behavior?
Unbelievably, these kinds of abusive accounts pop up every other week. I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen “Danneel Haters” or “Gen and Danneel Must Die!” accounts. Why isn’t fandom getting more upset about this?
You’re all Jensen and Jared fans? Prove it.
Today is Friday, known as Follow Friday on Twitter, please head on over there and follow both Gen and Danneel.
Leave them a positive message and make sure the love outweighs the hate!
And Wincest/J2 shippers, please keep your fantasy to fiction. Don’t confuse J2 with the versions of them fandom has created.
Unless you live with these men, you don’t know them. No amount of cyber stalking, photo scrutiny, and endless conspiracy theory discussions will magically erase the fact that J2 are happily married and have beautiful kids they put above everything else.
Why attack that? Why attack what these men value the most in life?
If you’re waiting for Gen and Danneel to disappear? You’re going to be waiting a lifetime. Be better than the bitterness inside and let your venom go. Get a life of your own and find ways to release sexual pressure outside of these J2 fantasies that have now become harmful to the people J2 love the most.
