katikatAccording to this post, there are fans (male and female) who complain rather loud about Supernatural being too emotional this season...
I just don't get it. When the writers let the characters evolve, let them react to obstacles in a very human way, fans complain. When the writers try to keep the characters the same, let them behave like machos, fans complain...
One fan even went so far to call the show "cheesy". I just don't get WHY?! The writers let the character go through the whole range of human emotions, from rage to despair. Why can there be rage unleashed and nobody has anything against it, but despair must be restrained? The character can go and shoot someone five times point blank and fans cheer but when the character has to shoot his girlfriend and he cries, the fans go "Boooooo!"
Why does this show have to be just another mindless flick? Why can't it get deeper? Because it doesn't appeal to a larger public? Flash news, it's doesn't appeal to the majority anyway and it didn't before it turned "overly *emo*" as they call it.
One of the fans stated that her friend said that if his brother hugged him like that, he would say "You are so gay" to him... Why is it so bad for two men to hug after the narrowest of misses? They are brothers for pete's sake!
Maybe it's the American mentality or something other that the European won't ever understand... After all, we also consider for example violence something far worse than simple sex...
