And this, A Modest Proposal : Dean Winchester is a very bad man, yo by kimonkey7

:DD

I offer it to public consideration, that Dean Winchester is made of hate. Born into a family - that on surface seemed loving and normal; his father was a hardened Marine, his mother a possible fraternizer with demons - Dean Winchester suffered great trauma early on. At four he witnessed the arson/murder of his home and mother: at this time the charge of his infant brother, Sam, put in his hands. Subsequent years saw the deterioration of normalcy as his father raised both sons to be monster-killing, demon-hunting warriors; eschewing the relative safety of normal society and embarking on transient and dangerous forays into supernatural experience: three lone men traveling in their own company, passengers in a penis cum muscle car, living ragtag from motel to motel to ill-kept male-run households, much like a very dark Disney feature, minus princesses.

Thus was born and bred a single-minded soldier, schooled in the hatred of demons and all things girly.

I feel cleansed. Now I can wallow in my Dean-grief without feeling that I should be guilty of not being feminist enough :)

I know what you mean. I have been a bit outraged/upset/miserable about it. Especially now. The boys in hell and this shit being said about him. You know? And fandom has been so quite on all other fronts, as if the wank was sucking the energy out of everything. And over something so ridiculous. Just ggrrrr! But now, I'm hoping we all take a deep breath, write it off as people focusing on something else so they didn't have to focus on their grief after the finale and move on.

I love Dean just the way he is, I wouldn't change a thing. And nothing anyone said was going to change that. If they didn't like him then that just left more for me!
