I can't understand why people in fandom are defending the right of people like icymorning to make posts and create websites that equate social anxiety to stupidity. As someone who suffers social anxiety, I find it utterly nauseating everytime people in fandom make those kind of statements. And it happens all too frequently for my peace of mind. If Jensen were a person of colour or a woman and a fan created a website linking either of those characteristics to stupidity, fandom would be outraged - justifiably so. This is no different, despite claims that it is just satire. Those statements hurt people and Jensen is the least of them.
