okay was anyone gonna tell me that the s6 blooper reel features the bit in 6x01 where lisa asks dean to come to bed but this time when he says he'll be there soon lisa pulls out a riding crop causing dean to gleefully leap out of his seat and follow her out of the room or was i just supposed to find that out from an anonymous commenter online

Would you mind giving some examples of sera gamble's antiblackness? It doesn't surprise me at all bc *gestures at the show* but it all runs together in my memory and I can't place any eras besides kripke s1-4

yeah sure! the show in general is racist ofc, but i think her writing consistently depicts black men as menacing and villainous.

gordon walker's introductory episode is perhaps the first ep in the series that attempts to address the issues with hunting and how it's populated by predominantly white vigilantes with guns but it also uses a black man as dean's evil foil! again, predominantly white vigilantes but it just has to be a black man we see menace & hurt innocent white vampire amber benson while the winchesters look on in horror.

if bloodlust is bad, fresh blood in s3 makes things so much worse because at least with the aforementioned you can rationalise it as sterling k brown being the best actor who auditioned but fresh blood is. it's. well you get sam & dean decapitate harmony kendall in the first 5 minutes alone but then vamp!gordon decapitating a bunch of white blonde lady vamps is proof of how scary & evil he is. very obvious white woman who crosses the street to avoid black men vibes from that ep. oh, and vamp!gordon avoids drinking blood until he suddenly decides to pin dean against the wall and feed off of dean's neck (suggestively!) before sam & gordon fight and then sam fucking decapitates him with razor wire. i swear before i saw HOtG this was hands down my least fave ep.

if we're talking gamble era in general i'm thinking of raphael as the big bad of s6 but i also watched s6 more than a month ago and have forgotten so much i can't fully get into it. OH YEAH just remembered how the alpha vampire is played by *drum roll* a black actor! what's more is he's the ONLY alpha depicted as a child predator - he's not a sexual abuser, sure, but he canonically abducts children to feed off of as a ~delicacy.

the other examples i'm thinking of that aren't as bad but cannot take in good faith are:

sam & dean torturing a demon in a black vessel in 3x15/time is on my side

ruby temporarily possessing a black maid in 4x09/IKWYDLS and it being played for laughs

lisa's black boyfriend getting his neck snapped by demons in 6x21/let it bleed after 10 seconds of screentime

tl;dr idc how much people hate gamble for the magicians BYG, in the context of spn her anti-blackness is way way worse than her homophobia.

i think people tend to forget that dean is a gen Xer (a baby gen Xer, but a gen Xer nonetheless) whose home state had sodomy laws until uh, *checks* 2003 so there's this tendency to read any reluctance dean may have surrounding being out as him being cartoonishly repressed (or even cowardly!) instead of it being like, a normal reaction to have in response to the hideous homophobia of the 80s & 90s. it doesn't matter how safe a situation he's in now, you don't shake that kind of thing off easily. and while the above obviously lends itself well to repressed!dean readings, i think it's important to emphasise that it can absolutely coexist with if not perfectly complement aware-but-closeted!dean. you can know exactly who you are but still find it incredibly difficult to express due to the poisonous environment you grew up in.
