Why hate a character who showed up in one episode, posed no threat to the characters, and disappeared again?

Why waste the energy doing a screencap about drowning her?

There's a particular tone to the vitriol you see in some of these posts, where it's clear that there's a personal viciousness in it, and somehow a failure to recognize that this is a fictional character. The character is a threat to the viewer somehow.

Apparently, she hurt Dean! TWICE.

It's not just about Cassie, it could be about any female character that is on the show the guys show interest in. The comments are extra gleeful abot the idea of a female character being drowned.

Oh, the real wankeriffic material is in her imperious responses to a post criticizing her taste/social skills: [link]

I would link to the comment, but, it's like five comments, all in a row, all very "oookay, babe, you keep talking while I call up the police on my other line" ragey.

I can hear fingers typing up the wank report even now.

Oh my God, wow, those comments are awesome. It's like, "Let me tell you EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER DONE in order to exonerate myself."

Yeah, she's not doing herself any favors here.

It's another instance of Vee's Second Law, the one about soylent green.

How does that one go?

"Unfortunately, fandom is full of stupid and insane people, because fandom is full of people." Aka, the Law of Soylent Green.

I guess I have to ask the dumb question, but I don't understand or remember, did the character do anything that was unlikeable?

It's just so bizarre. Why didn't they attack Lisa? Maybe because she was a one weekend kinda thing? Or Carmen? I would think she would be the most likely target for this weird behavior because she was his "dream" girl.

It's too bad because as a general rule, the women of Supernatural are kick ass. And do.

She broke up with Dean. That's apparently enough to be hateable.
