they are so obssesed it spilled over being a parasocial relationship, when the actors started doings cons for the fans, it just got awkward and wierd, if you heard about the death threats agains the actors(the mother and child that was with dean in first few episode of season 6, they couldnt return because of that) the fans got it in thier head they were ruining the relationships, that the characthers were gay. the more cons they did the more bizarre the questions were, plus i think thats why mark sheppard(crowley) stopped doing them.

It was so weird. Like, I get having an unconventional ship, I've had my fair share of those, but bothering the cast or real people with it... It's just not right.

In another fandom, The Walking Dead, I used to ship Carol/Daryl, but the other shippers became incredibly toxic towards some opposite ships and towards the actors. It was enough to turn me away from the fandom.
