Hey, remember when a bunch of assholes who forgot one of the cardinal rules of fandom (i.e. keep your ship nonsense away from the creators of the source material) maliciously misinterpreted an actor from their show when he grouped together the two most popular ships in the fandom in order to gently say that the assholes’ preferred pairing was also not canon?

I’m assuming this is badly referencing that incident, as this was posted without any evidence or clarifying details.

#I’m not nearly as invested in the actors as I am in the characters #so I mostly ignore anything actor-related that isn’t them talking directly about their characters #but jesus fucking christ #people love to twist jarpad’s words #I remember when the finale aired #and some people I respected but who had never watched the show #went and wrote long tweet threads about queerbaiting #and also took hellers at their words about jarpad’s comments shortly after #and this was when I was completely disengaged from the fandom at large #but I know that the perception of spn as The Queerbait Show #and jarpad as homophobic #spread far beyond the fandom #because hellers wanted the show they were watching to be something it wasn’t #and it pisses me the fuck off #d*stiel should be a footnote #not a major part of what the show’s about #to a large portion of people who haven’t watched the show #galatea.txt #this may be wankery
