Butting in to say that confuses me too! I remember back in seasons 4 and 5 fandom seemed to be all Sam hate and that upset me a lot, but I don't like how the balance has swung to the other side and you get the really extreme views on Dean now.
Honestly I am more of a Sam girl and I will always defend him, and sometimes Dean's expectations of family meaning everything frustrate me on Sam's behalf in for example the heaven episode from season 5 where I thought that Dean was acting pretty unreasonably, but the show always makes it clear where that's coming from and I just totally disagree with the idea that Dean has been subtly manipulating and abusing Sam over the years :(
