God, Supernatural fandom, just STOP. Please! I was already in over-analyze mode from thinking thinky thoughts about race and gender in Heroes and comics and stuff and now THIS?
Okay, yes. Katie Cassidy got caught underage drinking. Yes, she gave them someone else's name. When called on it she immediately apologized and said she'd done it because she was freaking out about her career.
Okay, yes. Her mother said that Kattie's a "high profile Hollywood actress". Yes it was a dumb thing to say. It doesn't mean Katie thinks that. It means her mother said something stupid that certainly reads to me as just being overprotective.
So why the FUCK am I seeing calls for recasting the character? Why are people cursing her out for it? Why are people acting like she's totally spoiled for saying SOMETHING STUPID? Why is this damn fandom even paying attention to it? She's two weeks away from her 21st birthday, wasn't driving drunk or driving in a car with someone who was drunk.. This should have been a "well, shit, that was dumb. Oh well, back to the porn" situation not a situation that calls for fifty or sixty "she's a stupid spoiled princess and I hope they kill her off on the show" comments.
GOD, I hate this fandom sometimes.

ETA: It made Fandom_wank. I am seriously okay with this because unperfectwolf wrote Katie Cassidy/Taylor Cole (the friend whose name she stole) femmeslash. And this is why I love that community.
