Re: What Big Deals (or wanks) have been going on in fandom spaces outside this community recently?

Destiel blew its top because Jensen said he and Misha don't play their characters as being lovers. He also said the fandom was kind of getting out of hand in a way. Which really? I don't think these people realize that Jensen isn't even a fandom person, so a bunch of people obsessing over something like this is probably going to freak him out. I think people who grew up with fandoms seem to take them for granted, and don't realize the whole world isn't aware of what shipping is, or that you being ~super supportive of your babies~ comes off as being sort of extreme to people not in the know.

I also lol'd so hard at the ones calling him homophobic. He's played a Bisexual character before. Don't get me started on the fans who think they ~know~ his character better than he does, even though he's been playing him for oh, nine years at this point?

I honestly don't understand SPN/Destiel fandom's need to throw themselves under the bus constantly. None of the actors are going to be like: YES, WE WANT DEAN AND CAS 2 BANG 5EVAH, THEY ARE SUPER DUPER IN LOVE XOXOXOXO. It's never going to happen, but they keep going to cons and asking these questions and then being shocked when the cast (esp. JA, who seems super private) are like WHAT? NO? LEAVE ME ALONE.

(full disclosure, I ship destiel. i just do it...for myself, not the entirety of tumblr)

Isn't it a rule not to ask relationship questions to him at cons, but they do it anyway? I think he did it in a pretty respectful manner, IMO

I think it was a rule at one con, but not all of them? I tend to avoid con info as much as I can, because I don't understand the entire...thing. (I don't care what a bunch of actors think, I guess?)

From what I have seen/heard, I think he did the best he could with what he was given. If people haven't noticed by now that he REALLY doesn't like to talk about that kind of thing, well...

Oh, could they just go away already? The solution to better representation for LGBT* people isn't harassing professional actors at every con about popular headcanons.

I doubt it has a thing to do with representation for almost all--if any--of them. It's a ship they really like that they're happy to label under a social cause because they feel morally superior about harassing people about it.

I'm pretty sure some variation of this wank has happened every 6 months since I started paying attention to SPN.

You wonder how many times the actors have to say, "No, it's not like that" before they start getting Destiel isn't canon.
