Everything you say about Benny is well said, he is basically a Gary Stu/special snowflake and it's really annoying.
OMG yes!!! Finally someone else who can see why I can not stand having this insufferable character on my screen! Geeze the amount of dumbing down they do of both Cas and Dean's capabilities in order to let him rescue one or the other in all of his appearances so far is annoying!
What I can't understand is how someone who's brothers-focused can hate Castiel but like Benny, that's indeed beyond my power of comprehension.
The answer to that is many of them are hypocrites who are showing themselves for what they are! They claim to have issues with Castiel because he "comes between the brothers" or whatever...
But give them a non-Castiel best friend for Dean who is a total Gary Stu and a bigger bridge between the brothers than Castiel has ever been and suddenly these complaints are forgotten and Benny's wonderful ;) I'm not afraid to openly state my disdain for this hypocrisy! At least be honest that your dislike for the character is personal people and don't hide behind lame excuses which it becomes obvious are just that excuses :p
People have the right to dislike Castiel and like Benny. I just wish they could provide some reasons that actually made sense.
Or not. They don't even have to justify themselves (afterall I tend to not like/not care for many of the popular characters, for no other reason that they rub me the wrong way!). I'll just avoid confrontation and remain in my corner forever!
And please, can we get rid of Benny??? or at least let's make him less special snowflake, thanks.
Aw don't be I'm a cuddly teddy bear under it all *hugs*

I think you misunderstand me...
My point is not that I have issues with people disliking Castiel! Hell I have plenty of characters I dislike myself :p
What I have issue with is hiding behind excuses like 'he comes between the two brothers too much for my taste' an excuse while I disagree with I could respect if I thought they were genuine.
Then another character like Benny comes along and creates 10x the emotional distance between the brothers than Castiel ever has and these same people adore him! It's that hypocrisy that gets on my nerves and annoys me because it makes it clear they are either lying or just plain old deluding themselves...
As I said last time I'd rather they manned up and just admitted they disliked him because he rubs them the wrong way or whatever than try to justify their dislike with clearly bullshit excuses ;)
No, no, I understood you completely.. and I agree with you!! But if those people realized that they were being hypocritycal then they wouldn't have those views in the first place. I think they are really not aware, or if they are, they simply choose to not care.. and we can't make them care!!! Also, they will never admit it on principle.
So I'd say.. let's leave them to their thing, life is too short and all that!! XD
Haha well I'm not planning to hunt them all down and make them see the error of their ways ;) But nor am I afraid of expressing my view in a public forum where such a person may or may not read my views on said hypocrisy is all :p
And for the record I'm referring in a general sense rather than with anyone in particular in mind :)
Hehe one should never be afraid of expressing their opinions, we are in a free world luckily!! :D

Of course! :) I've read many comments today, and in all fairness most people who like Benny tend to also be Cas fans.
What bothers me is that very few people see the problematic and irritating way the show has portrayed Benny so far. We will see if the Benny lovefest will burn out fast or if we are destined to keep him fo a long time... gah

Haha that's cool :) And as I said I don't even care if someone hated both Cas and Benny for the excuse I used as an example above, I can respect that :)
And just wanted to get that out there that it's not aimed at an individual! Wouldn't want someone who my complaint may apply to reading this and think I was bitching about them in particular ;)
