Let's Give Jared (and Gen) Some Love

[reggie11]

After a fan attending DallasCon tweeted about Jared revealing the volume of online hate he sees directed toward both he and Genevieve does get to him--and why wouldn't it, they are human beings with feelings--a couple of fans came with the idea of #JaredLoveDay for this coming Saturday, the 27th. So lets get posting and show him that there is FAR more love than hate for him in fandom. So go nuts on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LJ and post pics, art, GIFs, or just say it from the heart. All you need to remember is to use #JaredLoveDay on your post. Let's make the tag trend!

There shouldn't be any of this ridiculous hatred toward any of the actors. Supernatural is the show we love because of every actor involved. Nobody is saying you have to like a particular character or actor, but these are real people, and nobody deserves online hatred hurled at them.

Let's so Gen some love too!

SPREAD THE WORD!!

Agreed. So incredibly immature. There is a whole new generation of people who don't even think twice about participating in online hate and bullying. I wish I could say that it was just the young and stupid that are involved but I've seen some jaw-dropping behaviour by people who are in their thirties, forties, and beyond as well. Horrible.

I wish we could shower both of them with messages of love and respect that we know they would see. But if they've seen the hate then no doubt they have also seen the love that's out there. Hopefully they will this Saturday :)

The problem is it's so easy to say awful things online, things they wouldn't have the balls to say to someone's face and it's the perfect place for cowards and bullies for that reason. I wish there was some way nasty stuff could be filtered so people like Jared & Gen, who very generously share their lives and families with us, don't have to see it.
