Supernatural series finale "Carry On" episode Rant 1: Fandom Juveniles verbally attack Jim Beaver

 

I have held off on this post because I am still a wee bit upset by some of the actions by the fandom regarding the final episode. See they didn't get their own way so they are rebelling and acting like immature children.

Why? Because Castiel wasn't in the final episode and Bobby Singer was. LOL How funny is that reason to verbally abuse an actor who was on the show. a much LOVED actor as well! 

So they go on Twitter and verbally assault Jim Beaver, there were even a few death threats tossed out. While Jim says he wasn't bullied, I see it as he was. He even went so far as to delete his Twitter account.
 
I love Jim, he's an amazing actor and I have great respect for him. The kind of verbal abuse he received was totally uncalled for. He went in and did his JOB, he did what he was paid to do. Believe it or not it's what actor's do when they are hired to play a part. They do their job.  

He says that he wasn't bullied and that he didn't cancel his account because of bullying. While I saw bullying, he saw something different.  Just a matter of different perspectives. To me it looked like bullying. His reason was an admirable one. He was having a hard time holding his tongue so he felt it best to just leave. He shouldn't have had to endure that abuse in the first place.

You ARE allowed to have your own opinion to feel your own emotions, but when you're being toxic about those feelings and emotions and forcing them on other's then it's NOT OK. Not OK at all!
No one is right and no one is wrong. We have come to the end of the show and everyone is emotional about it and that is understandable, but it needs to be remembered that how you treat people is your Karma.
