Pisses me off!!!

I know I’m going to get a lot of heat for this but I want to discuss it openly anyway. After spending the last two day watching several hours of Supernatural conventions, I was appalled to find out that Jared repeatedly harasses people on the set sexually.
For those who don’t know the legal definition of sexual harassment, it’s the following:
“Unwelcome verbal, visual, or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is severe or pervasive and affects working conditions or creates a hostile work environment.”
The first video I saw talking about Jared’s behavior was one where Jensen was demonstrating how Jared would grab at his thigh and squeeze really tight during a scene trying to get him to break.
I was taken aback that someone could actually grab you like that on a set and that behavior would be accepted. I know people can joke around but to touch each other like that is wrong. If Jensen were a woman, there wouldn’t be a question about how wrong this is. Sadly because there are two men, the line gets blurred.
But that wasn’t the worst part. Once I got to the Misha videos I was appalled to discover that Jared makes it a habit of grabbing people on set and that Misha gets the worst of it by having Jared on multiple occasions actually grab his crotch.
This behavior fits the definition of sexual harassment perfectly. What Jared is doing to Misha is unwelcome physical conduct of a sexual nature that is pervasive and affects working conditions.
It’s unwelcomed because no one goes into work thinking ‘hey grab my penis’. It’s physical because Jared’s body is making contact with Misha’s crotch. It’s pervasive because Misha and other actors have mentioned it multiple times. So this hasn’t been a onetime thing. It affects working conditions because apparently after attacking Misha so many times during scenes it became impossible to get worked done so the writers actually stopped writing most Sam and Castiel scenes.
My question is that if Jared’s behavior gets to the point where it actually affects the integrity of the show and changes what the writers are coming up with then why doesn’t someone sit Jared down and read him the definition of professionalism, tact, and sexual harassment in the work place?
I know that Jared is a nice guy but he is a serial harasser and if someone was doing this to his wife on a set he would be furious. So what gives him the right to grab Jensen’s thighs when Jensen doesn’t want that? What gives Jared the right to grab at Misha’s crotch when he doesn’t want that? Can I go to him and grab his crotch? Can I go up to his wife and grab her ass or breasts? Of course not!
Jared doesn’t have a right to do this but sadly he has a role of authority on the set since he is billed first and perceived as the lead. Misha is in a supporting status and only has a handful of episodes. He definitely wouldn’t feel comfortable making a complaint against Jared.
Not to mention that neither Jensen nor Misha would ever treat this as anything other than horse playing because society makes it so that men feel they have to take this shit from other guys or else they are sissies and not man enough.
I want to hear what others think about this because I am truly appalled. I work at a center for abused women and I just have a really low tolerance for this type of behavior.
Why is the SPN fandom so determined to hate on Jared? I do not understand it. The fans hate him because he got married or he had a baby or he has sideburns or what? Do people not realize that he is not Sam Winchester? He is not the anti-Christ. Jared does not abuse Jensen and there is no competition for Jensen's affection between Misha and Jared. All the men seem like pretty good friends. I don't know why I go on Tumblr, but there just seems to alot of hate and stupidity on there. Sexual harrassment is a serious subject and I have been on the receiving end of it as well as been accused of it. It's not pretty. If a person feels like this then a man especially a celebrity like Misha Collins has avenues to persue any persecution of Jared. There have been plenty of famous people being accused and sued of harrassment, so maybe this person is a lawyer or in the know and Misha Collins is about to launch an accusation at Jared. These men seem like they could handle telling each other that they have stinky farts or bad breath or whatever like friends do...one thing I have noticed about our society involves our personal space and boundaries, people have no problem telling you via body language or directly to your face that you are crossing their comfort zones. I can't believe this person is going by convention footage, many things can be miscontrued with that even when you were present at the conventions.
Just want to add this great response which I wish I would have done instead I put on my "angry arms" and got pissed.
