I'll be over in my corner with SF&F writers who can write bi/pansexuality without sounding like a Monty Python sketch.

LMAO. Now who's delusional?

Oh, let's see. If we're pulling from my vintage comics there's the entire British invasion. More recently, Slonczewski, Hopkinson, Jemisin, Lord, Bujold, Mieville, the entire anthology of stories I read last month, about a third of the stories in the anthology I read the month before, and a nice story by Felicidad Martínez I just finished at the start of last week (in translation, the second story in the collection has a lesbian protagonist).

So, don't need Dean, and certainly we don't need Destiel shippers.

writing bi/pan characters =/= writing them without sounding like a Monty Python sketch.

Of course not. The writers I respect don't write LGBT characters in that way. The characters are either in relationships or explicitly describe their desire to be in a relationship with a MOTAS.

What I don't respect is when writers and showrunners feed ship drama with campy innuendo. Two other examples are BBC's Watson and Ritchie's Holmes. Hinting that a character maybe-possibly-maybe pansexual or bisexual is like giving me a banana split without the ice cream, syrup, whipped cream, and cherry. It's not going to satisfy me, and I'll just hop on down the street to a place where I can get the real thing.

Do you read SF at all???? Or is because he referred to SPN as writing bisexuality? Just because it's never gonna be canon doesn't mean the writers don't like playing with the subtext...
