Well I tend to agree with you on practically all of that.

I'd like to see more representation, and representation that doesn't pigeon-hole gay people into stupid tropy roles (if you've seen my other comments on why I don't want Destiel in particular to be canon, you'll know that's my reason why).

One of the things I dislike about the attitude of refusing to acknowledge subtext in something is that if the subtext is so blatant people accuse it of being queer-baiting, there really has to be something there.

Even when the subtext fans see is not as obvious, denying it is denying the interpretations of other people and saying they are not allowed to think for themselves.

The only reason why I personally have opinions that run close to "It's never going to happen" is because I look at the track record of the show and believe that it has a pattern that precludes a gay relationship between lead characters. Track a show's trend and you will see how it will keep carrying on.

And as for how progressive fandoms may be, I may just see the happy slasher side of many of the fandoms I get into. I don't go out of my way to get involved in ship wars or fights between slashers and anti-slashers since it tends to leave a bitter taste in mouth (especially due to past personal experience that way).

(P.S. I'm straight, I'm a slasher, I'm generally in support of representation. I'm also rather a cynic too.)
