kricketsI haven't really been paying that much attention to "Situation JubJub," if you will, and I am well aware that I am late to the game. I also know I'm mostly quiet on the fandom front, but I have brains in my head (and feet in my shoes!) and here's a small observation/analysis of the reason everybody is going batshit!crazy.
It's about hero worship. The people arguing? Are in a civil war. (Deep, I know!) There is blood on the streets of Jensenville, ladies and gentlemen. Observe, the factions:
Clearly, Camp A and Camp B both love Jensen to itty bitty Jensen-shaped bits, they simply disagree on how they should love him. Camp B wishes Camp A would just shut the frak up about these so-called faults, because it ruins the illusion of perfection. And Camp A is totally annoyed that Camp B finds anything wrong with breaking the illusion, and loving him despite the fact that he is, in fact, a real person.
I propose a reconciliation of these opposing factions. And I have, thus, re-written Tim Minchin's Peace Anthem for Palestine, in spirit of fandom love.
Footnote: I make no assertions or assumptions about whether or not Jensen is actually chubby, or has 762 freckles, or bites the heads off baby chickens in his spare time. Besides, I don't think it's really all that important... well, maybe the chicken thing...
ETA: We mustn't forget Camp C. Innocent bystanders.

Camp A: These rambunctious folks follow the mindset that they love Jensen, despite his (real or perceived) faults. In fact they think his faults are pretty adorable. Look! Look at his faults! Aren't they stinkin' cute?
Camp B: These lovely citizens also love Jensen, but they do not acknowledge that Jensen has any faults. Look how completely faultless he is! Look! I mean, check the freckles! The hair! The laugh! Oh! Isn't he perfect?

Peace Anthem for Jensenville
We love Jen-sen.
You love Jen-sen.
It seems it's been that way forever!
So if you love Jen-sen...
And we love Jen-sen...
Why not love Jensen together?
