that transcript made me remember this post where someone added a still of a sam and dean scene in front of the trunk of the impala while it was open and circled sam and dean's respective belongings in the blurred background as like a gotcha for that thing they love doing where they flip sam and dean's characteristics around to say see! dean's the real Clean One! and i think it's so interesting how this works because like it's so based on the recontextualisation of a single entirely decontextualised shot out of this one scene unrelated to the topic of neatness that's unimportant for the actual context of both the content of the scene and its implications on both character's characterisations. and then intentional choices made for sam or dean's actions whose contexts are used specifically to attribute these characteristics to these characters are ignored. like i remember the post didn't give an episode name or number for the cap they edited and included (lol) but i had identified the shot as one that happens in a scene where within the subject conversation, they drop their stuff in the trunk off camera (we see the action, not the trunk) then do not interact with or acknowledge their belongings beyond that
#im still caught up with all the uncritical attributions of monstrosity ive seen recently#so i think that they see sam as a monstrous or morally worse/bad character than dean who is incapable of having the characteristics canon#says he does. like dude the contrast of characteristics is the point.#it's laughable that you're adopting to ignore how the show proves its own dichotomy of monstrosity wrong#you're subscribing to it more tightly than the show itself does for the dean pedestal#Sam Bad and Dean Good and everything else must fall into place on top of that despite how much more nuanced canon wants to be#and it's not even That nuanced you're literally making its simple and otherwise superficial ass perspectives look good#is it wrong to say that i think a vast majority of this audience resents sam for proving much of dean's perspectives of sam's wrong#and not specifically in the 'he's inconvenient to my fav character so i dislike him' way even though that's definitely part of it#i think people often wish dean was what sam is and resent sam for being everything they had wished from dean throughout the show#(like remember how people literally advocated for dean's s10 mytharc)#in the same way. almost. to how dean resents sam for his relationship with john but was also jealous of it#and it adds to the fact that sam being that way is an inconvenience or direct opposition to dean#ludere
