"growing up is hearing impassioned completely wrong lectures about history you personally remember really well" but it's specifically the puriteens (+nominal adults they've become) saying the friendly homoeroticism of aughties shows was always intended and received maliciously. bullSHIT we called it HoYay and thought it was awesome

#shitposting but this is why even early seasons!spn wasn't bait™. ''last person who looked at me like that I got laid'' was a SHIPPY MOMENT #it was understood as such -as a friendly nod!- because back then there was no expectation of queer ships going canon #which sure was bleak fr but it was an industrywide problem! meanwhile it was validating/legitimizing to know we could even get Ship Teases #so ascribing malicious intent through the lens of post-gay marriage (+goldfish memory of everything before) is fully myopic #bitch you aren't more enlightened than people in the 2000s you won't even recognize the legitimacy of later gay writers queering that smdh #it's just as bleak that everyone now wants queerness to be rigidly defined+Approved by the LGBT Council no room for fluidity or PLAY #does that not completely undermine the whole point of us as uncategorizable / subverting corporate restrictions (as spn did!) as punk rock #fuck em assimilationists the future is Free to Be. not othering-ly marked All Gender Bathrooms but just... Bathrooms #not corporate-approved ideologically spotless Representation™ but actually valuing queer artistry self-expression and audience resonance #(and lol idk whatever happened to that term. maybe it was just the tropers and weebs who used it??)#spn #supernatural #spn is queer #mine
