I think it's because a lot of fandom instantly took him in as a main character rather than a recurring one. He was never meant to be permanent, and at first, I think everyone was okay with it. But as they developed him more and more, that, of course, is when people start picking sides. And the more people see of him, the more people find out about his character, the more they make up their mind. That's my take.
Yeah! I agree. I like complicated characters, but no matter how much I like someone, I can still see their flaws and how they're meant to fit into the story. Cas literally cannot be a permanent character. Just the facts of life. A part of me wants him to always be with the boys, an impenetrable trio, but I know their characters far too well to know it's not even possible. An end to his character is fitting, but I want it done right.
It's funny; because I'm clearly a fan of Cas, I have a lot of fans on my flist who are super Cas fangirls, to the point where one of them isn't watching anymore because he's not in it. I honestly don't care what they do or don't do with the show, but I don't want to get into a massive discussion(mainly 'cause I don't have the energy) about my feels on Cas vs. theirs, so I usually just stick to happier subjects.
I always reserve judgement until something is completely over. I try to take that approach to life as much as possible. It's the only thing that makes sense(as well as avoiding making you look like an idiot XD).
