On Shipping...
I admit to having a strong reaction to the 'fan' being removed from ChiCon but not because I was sorry for her or supporting her. I think if CLIF thought she was a threat then she must have been. But here's the thing. They know Destiel is out there. They wouldn't say she was a threat and ban her just for shipping Destiel. It had to be way more than that. Because even though he's a big teddy bear most of the time Clif's job is to protect the boys. So, that being said, the whole fandom war thing about shipping...I have feelings about that. First of all JENSEN doesn't ship Dean and Cas. Maybe Misha does and if that helps him get into character, I don't care. Wincest I can't begin to explain. Jensen plays Dean straight because that's how Dean is written. He's always been interested in women. I do not think Supernatural is sexist. I think the way the boys move around so much we've seen long term relationships don't last or work. Except for Demon Dean's remarks to Anne-Marie, all we've ever seen of Dean is a kind, considerate lover who appreciates all kinds of women and respects them. There are two strong recurring females on the show in Jody and Charlie. Jody gets plenty of respect from both guys. Charlie I might add is openly gay and no one cares...it doesn't make a difference, In The Purge, Dean assures Sheriff Donna she doesn't need to lose weight, that she looks great as she is.So what's the deal? Why can't Dean love Sam as his brother and soulmate without it being sexual? Why can't he love Cas without needing destiel? I personally think it shows a hell of alot of self esteem about your sexuality if you can touch and hug people of your own gender and it NOT be implied as sexual. Think about it. The boys have lived pretty much in a an all guy world. And Dean raised Sam like he was the parent. Why would it be weird to him to touch Sam's face or brush the hair out of his eyes while he's asleep or hurt or sick? I think when it's clear though that Jensen doesn't like being asked about Destiel it really isn't respectful to ask the question. If you claim to love him, or them then why intentionally try to badger them and make them uncomfortable? This is something about fandom that escapes me...it's being written by writers who work very hard to keep it canon and in the mythology it's always had.I n the last few seasons we've seen the best writing ever. It's not being written by us. So if you don't agree, either go with it or don't. Because those of us who are 100% devoted fans til the end....we don't try to change it. I would personally never have made Dean a demon. But the show did so guess what? My baby's been a demon. And I still love every minute I get to watch. As for the Cons...what happened to Gil McKinney shouldn't have happened at ChiCon. And what happened to Jensen at JibCon and NJCon last year...NO. These people give their all to give us the best possible show and they are all decent, wonderful guys who wouldn't do anything on purpose to hurt anyone of us. So the least we can do is return that. I don't ship for the record,,,not Wincest or Destiel. I believe Cas is an asexual angel and Dean and Sam are straight. I don't have a problem with gayness...so no one quote me wrongly. I have tons of gay friends. I guess I've had my say. What am I trying to get across? Lay off the destiel questions to Jensen. Stop hating on people who do or don't ship. And quit complaining about the show. It muffles the squee.
