#into them on a very supeficial level

I’m gonna get stoned to death for this but I wish there would’ve been a ‘none’ option

Speaking of TW cast reminded me that Jensen made fun of meg’s height in one of recent cons. As a 5’3” girl who is very self conscious about my height I found what he said very hurtful. I don’t care for meg but Jensen’s snarky comment made me feel for her. It’s the new Jensen I guess, he tries to be funny at the expense of other people with no regard to anyone else’s feelings because he’s mr. perfect

I am sorry for Jensen's insensitive comments, anon. I think that was, most likely, him trying to be "hip and funny". His humor seems to be stuck at frat boy level and since he has no comedic training...yikes. It wouldn't be the first time he's made insensitive comments that reveal he is extremely judgemental of others, he's made quite a few about certain artists that are, in actuality, more famous than him. When he makes those comments he gives away how immature he is and how superior he considers himself to be.

He was mr. perfect in his early highschool years and at the beginning of his career but failed to capitalize on that image because, while he looked the part, he demonstrated a character far from that essence. Now his brand is all over the place.

To explain my reasoning I'm going to give you an example. Let's say you've been branded as the smokeshow casting wise, the bombshell, whenever anyone thinks of you they associate you to the sultriest of images. If a role was available for such a woman you'd be the first person they would call. You are the one, the most sensual, powerful presence that drives people crazy. There is just one problem, if they were to call you for that part, even though you look like a bombshell (sofia vergara, marylin monroe, scarjo, etc) you are shy, delicate, fragile and too independent so the thought of being a fantasy makes your stomach turn. Therefore, you won't feel comfortable playing that role and it will show. Casting will realize that though you look like a bombshell you have a different essence, you cannot deliver the kind of character they expect from you because your energy is different. So, even though they really want to cast you as that, you are contradicting that essence so they are unable to cast you the way they see you. This creates a problem because, though you are complex, producers want to see you playing supeficial characters because you are stunning so they won't give you the rocket scientist role you wanted because they want you playing that ex VS model who lost her boyfriend and now has to win him back or some variation that plays on your looks only.

Same goes for Jensen, he is not living up to how casting actually sees him and, not only that, he is not being authentic. At least, the example I gave is someone being authentic whose inner self does not resonate with what their looks make people believe about them. In Jensen's case, people cannot even tell who he is and what he is about because he is all over the place and that makes him seem shady to casting. Keep in mind that Jensen has so far only gotten cast by his friends and connection in these latest years. There's a reason for that and it is the dissonance between what he is perceived as and then what he actually demonstrates.

Jensen puts on a snarky persona to create humor and connection (that's what he thinks anyway 🤭) but he does so in an inauthentic way and without proper training so....the results go from somewhat to extremely bad. There is a fake factor that amplifies all of that. It stuns me how he's worked in the industry for so long and yet, to this day, fails to grasp key concepts, knowledge and approaches that make an actor highly effective, charismatic and dynamic. Besides, he pushes the snarky to lack of empathy at times and vibes highly displeased. That's not an attractive energy to be around. It's almost like he has no idea how to amplify or tone down his own layers, which is crucial for an actor to be aware of. What i'm trying to say is, it would benefit Jensen to hang around some of his highly successful peers to understand how they successfully create charismatic moments and to learn from them, learn from the tools they've acquired and the helpful beliefs they've acquired.
