(Anonymous) 2014-07-11 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)god forbid a queer fan reads a character as queer or identifies with them right. I mean it's not like you can just watch the show and ignore these people, noooo

(Anonymous) 2014-07-11 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)The show is notorious for its fanbaiting and other than that it's just a Straight Man Parade. Any other show could have better representation than Supernatural, easily.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-11 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)Maybe queer people latch onto Dean because he's relatable to them in some way, plus it's a show with a huge cult following so of course people will get invested.
No it's not a gay rights issue (partly because most people read Dean as bi, I know it's shocking that you can be attracted to two genders! And it doesn't even erase the fact he's attracted to women! But mostly because you're just concern trolling), and shockingly they DO enjoy things with actual representation too!
Like they didn't just decide 'we're going to pretend this character is gay for no reason', subtext is A Thing which people read into, and queer subtext is ridiculously common and has been happening for decades.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 12:00 am (UTC)(link)People relating to Dean is unfortunate but it's important to recognize that he isn't a lgbt icon or w/e.
Subtext is definitely a thing, but so is people throwing two hot dudes together and wanting them to fuck because that itself is hot, especially at the expense of female characters who are already shit on enough as it is. (SPN already conveniently sidelines its women to focus on the manpain, unfortunately.)

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 01:14 am (UTC)(link)I am not concern trolling, I am talking about a specific batshit subgroup of fandom who literally think that Destiel is a gay rights issue and who ignore actual examples of representation. Those are the people that I and other people have a problem with, and you're so hellbent on feeling like you're being oppressed or some shit that you think it's some sort of all or nothing thing. Not to mention that not everyone who slashes is fucking queer. Have you really not noticed that? Have you really not noticed the straight women who are into slashing hot guys because it's fapping material and not because they can relate to those guys?
Not everyone who appears to be on your side actually is, or actually cares about actual LGBTQ issues.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 08:20 am (UTC)(link)That is exactly what they did, and all your condescending SJ sneering doesn't make it any less true.

(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 12:50 am (UTC)(link)it's all about slash and turning homosexuality/bisexuality into a fetish purely for fap fodder.
no subject
(Anonymous) 2014-07-12 01:38 am (UTC)(link)Plus, ignore destielers/ "fanon = canon" crowd? LOL! Have you met this fandom? Cause Jensen did, and he didn't look happy about it.
