Oh, I've definitely hit post too early! It happens. Yeah, I've read some RPF and it is weirder in that case, because there are real people involved. I wasn't in SPN fandom but I remember seeing a series of J2 fics where Welling was a villain and that was odd to me. I've done the Lana bashing, at the height of my annoyance with her, and it's not something I'm proud of. Even back then, for some fics, it did seem to go too far, and make her pretty one dimensional and even in Clois stories, I couldn't really do it. And don't get me started on the Lois bashing that the Chloe fans used to engage in. I unfriended someone finally because they posted a fic about Lois exposing Clark's secret in a story and I was all "not going down this path with you".

I think it depends how readable it is. I get giving them a chance and I will always exit rather than criticize because I'm not that person, but if it is too much, I can't do it. And I'm with you on not being able to process the words. I've tried and I have just gotten tired. Oh wow that's smart. I think I'm too lazy and like you said, it takes up time that you usually don't have.

I've heard about SPN being the reason a/b/o got so popular. I didn't know where it came from, just that it seems to be in basically every fandom. It is usually connected with other tropes I don't like so I just tend to stay away, but you're right- to each their own. Fortunately, there is plenty of fics for basically everyone lol
