I think people can and do understand perfectly well, without being 'Raphael fans'. For you to think that unless we're Raph fanboys/girls we won't 'get it', is quite patronising really.
We all have our favourites and we'd all wish for certain story lines or events for them to encounter. We'd all like the writers to 'handle' them a certain way.
But unless we ourselves are a writer on the show, we have to face facts that more often than not, it's not going to happen 100% according to our own individual plans.
We also have to face facts that the show isn't written for our individual benefit. They have an enormous variety of people to please.
Some people want hardcore nutter Raph. Some want soft as pie, sensitive Raph. Both are different but
equally valid interpretations.
Someone's going to be disappointed whatever route they take.
And yes I would describe myself as a Raphael fan.
