Well, it might have been my mistake because I was still talking about Bela and that was six years ago. Tumblr has made people aware of misogyny and, more importantly, internalized sexism. Lots of women are misogynists and just tend to pit women against each other without realizing it. Since season four, at lot of that comes from wanting Dean/Castiel together. Like you said, crazy fan(dom)s! They are usually the louder ones.
Maybe it is the fact that the SPN writers just like to kill off female characters! Cole is still alive and after being in more than one episode, they could have also just killed him. Then again, so are Jody and Donna (I'd love to see a spin-off or mini-series with them <3), maybe they are getting better at it.
Queerbaiting is a term I see used so often by Dean/Castiel shippers and I don't get. Yes, they joke (one was "Cass get out of my butt" or something like that), but that's something you see everywhere and does imo not constitute queerbaiting. I don't even want to talk/think about Sherlock in that regard.
I don't interact with the Hawaii Five-0 fandom at all, but the subtext and shipping potential between Steve and Danny was just phenomenal on the show. Hopefully nobody called that queerbaiting.
Okay, we both doing it wrong then lol I'm actually thinking that there's actually a greater divide between ages now then there was before when it comes to shipping. It's the often younger (SJW) generation that thinks like that. And with younger I mean mostly people under 20.
