Well there’s the usual shit stirers who I’m pretty much ignoring at this point. But honestly I’m so much more irritated with the general mentality that if there’s anything remotely wrong with a thing that it should be completely discounted. Every time there’s a new release about casting it’s the same few things that circulate subtly in tags or texts posts. It’s complaining about tropes we don’t even know if they’ll be using 100%, what the casting choices mean for character backstories (so far new charcters are played by women of color so if they were orphaned the obvious conclusion is other characters of color were killed), how badly it’s going to suck blah blah blah.

It would just be nice if people would just give it a chance. I mean, fuck, how many seasons does spn have? They get all the chances. It’s not that I think the show should be 100% free from critique, I just have a problem with the fact that we know basically nothing about it and it already has people who are vocal about how it shouldn’t exist and people who want it to exist but complain about whatever problems they think it has. It barely exists!

But more than that I really do have an issue with the way tumblr treats any media that’s trying to make strides for the better but may have issues. I mean there was wank about who worked on Dream Daddy and how that made it bad. Nothing is ever good enough and I’m really tired of the idea that everything needs to be picked apart and destroyed until we prove it’s not good enough.

I’m just worried. I’m excited about a show with some of my favorite characters and new ones I’m excited for to step foot in a world I’m interested in. I just don’t want to see the show dead in the water because no one was kind enough to give it an opportunity to find it’s legs. But if the auidence reception is terrible for whatever reason, whether the show actually sucks or if it’s just not perfect, it won’t get the chance.
