it isn't jumping the shark

So I'm typing up more thoughts on SPN and The Real Ghostbusters and I've been browsing around for episode reactions, and I found something that made me headdesk.

( very vague spoiler for tonight )

tv: supernatural, fandom: scares me sometimes

Ohhh, sir. No.

The worst part was it was a female reviewer (though I saw the sentiment echoed by a male commentator in the comments). There are so many levels of fail here, I just can't even.

Yeah, I was pretty much *headdesk*ing all over the place. It's like--it's okay for us to be geeks about a tv show, but...not for us to be geeks about books? I didn't get it.

And I wasn't too bothered with the convention either, like I said, mostly because the male fan is, for better or worse, the more recognizable fan stereotype (and it's not just us within SPN fandom watching the episode).

But I did spy a few women cosplaying as Deans/Sams/Bobbys upon rewatch, which made me happy.
