Yah, I've never really liked Destiel (though it's better than Dastiel!), or mashing of names generally. I guess I started fandom in an era when mashing ship names wasn't done! Beyond the few obvious (McShep) or the super accurate (Caskett), I'm not a fan. I only use it to tag on tumblr.
Charlie gets to kiss a girl so Dean never has to kiss a boy!
YES. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that they had it, that Charlie and her attraction to girls is (generally) treated quite casually. But it was done to give us something to calm our demand for same-sex relationships, not as a precursor for more. Fans are very naive if they think that's what it was. (Let's not forget, it's more okay for girls to be seen kissing still then men. Especially on a show that tries to cater to men still.)
And that last paragraph, yes. Hell, half the time I am more upset when Cas is around because while this season is the best since S4, they still fuck up so much with his character and it drives me nuts! And the fans who insist that the break up allusion was towards Cas and not Benny are just being willfully ignorant, IMO. I mean, watch how you want to watch, but sometimes, something is actually wrong with the way you're watching it. I think my biggest problem is not even that those fans want to ignore Benny, but that in doing so, they are ascribing a situation between Dean and Cas that is negative and never occurred. Like, why would you insist canon fucked with your pairing in the one case when they didn't? I don't understand.
