Hey i just stumbled across your LJ whilst reading a fanfic i didn't agree with and i liked your response. Anyway i am a Samgirl and proud of it. I love Dean as well and i love the dysfunctional co-dependent relationship the boys have(had?). I just don't see why some fans have to tear one brother down to raise another. I agree with a lot of what you and some of the other comments have said about Sam's emotional development, it has stopped and everything that should be emotionally affecting to him (Dad dying, Madison, being possessed, him dying,watching Dean die, the deal, what happened after he scratched the wall in 6x13) and its just glossed over with 'i'm fine' it's just the writers should have Sam talk more. The one major issue i have with the writers is that they beat the dead horse until its mush, they realise that people like Dean crying and emoting, they shove it in our faces, they realise that everyone (vocal fans) likes Cas/Dean so they make slash jokes and make Dean give the whole stupid,out of nowhere fake family speech. The show needs to learn Balance, they have two leads not one,just deal with Dean's issues and make him have that spark back, give sam more emotional moments again, make them good hunters again, make them enjoy the job, give them brotherly moments again like pranking, or joking, (that's why i love frontierland just that whole conversation at the beginning with Sam Colts journal was so cute, and sam wearing the shirt dean brought and agreeing to go along with Dean's plan and Dean being giddy and fun again)
Anyway i agree both boys have faults and the show isn't perfect and i love canon dean, in show i love both Dean and Sam, but when i read comments it just really stops me from enjoying the show and it stops me from enjoying Dean. So even though i've been in fandom for a year, i'm going to stop (try lol) reading most people's comments and just read spoilers, read good fanfiction (preferably hurt sam, and awesome big bro Dean) and just read people's journals who i like. Its better for my blood pressure that way because this argument dean vs sam is never going to stop, so i'm just sick of it.
Again i agree with the issue of Sam hate as i don't get why they hate Sam so much, i've tried to understand it but i can't, like i try to understand why everyone loves Cas. So i'm not going to, i just wanna enjoy the show and enjoy fandom. I still have some hope with Sam especially after the hell wall has fallen that we'll finally get some talking between the boys and emotional development from Sam.
See i have more problems with the fact that the fandom and the show seems to gloss over and whitewash over castiels actions - just don't get me started on Castiel.
Sorry this is so long but it seems to be hard to be in this fandom when you're favourite is hated (which makes me love him more as he's the underdog and i love sam anyway) and everyone loves the character you hate(Castiel- Deans replacement brother- which makes me hate him more lol)
Again sorry for the length and thank you so much for writing what i mostly feel. Thanks.
