But you went to Paley. And you're going to see Misha at a con. Why do that if all that matters is what's onscreen?
And I'm not solely talking about SPN fandom. There's also RPS fandom. I just think it's naive to believe that what happens in their personal lives will have no affect on fandom. Every time Jared and Jensen appear together fandom explodes with fic. Look at all the stories and art just from finding out they were roommates-- or the Red Bull event. (And I get that that's not -your- fandom, but the points still apply to whomever you're shippng-- look at the photos you post of your favorite football players slapping asses and the conclusions drawn from that.)
I'm not making a judgment call on whether it's right or not. I'm just surprised you guys find it so unexpected and rage-inducing.
