#spn and diversity

Dean complimenting fellow queer people on their game

Bonus inverse, trying to out-game someone to vicariously flirt for/with your presumed-but-not-at-all-straight friend who has no game whatsoever:

this character design should be considered an actual sin

It’s 2023 and Castiel is trending under Politics on Twitter. This timeline gets weirder and more cursed every single day.

Thinking about how awesome supernatural spin offs could be with BIPOC and female characters that weren’t killed off within 4 episodes

They did what???

So that's what happened last night. (The thread continues, but this seemed like the most salient point.)

Am I surprised by this? No. There's no careful storytelling in TW. And those diverse experiences are just bad stereotypes. The fact that no one saw a possible issue with this storyline is just indicative of the lack of care put into the whole show.

Now, I will be fair and say that SPN had it's own share of problematic episodes. It's what can happen when there's not a lot of diversity in the writer's room, and for as much as TW claims to be diverse, they really aren't, especially behind the scenes.

They got lucky that hardly anyone saw the episode (including the New York market), because if they did, they'd be rightfully roasted.

I may have mixed feelings on SuperWiki as a resource but they really went off with this "Meanings of Episode Titles" entry (the last words are linking to Wayward Sisters)

hilarious to me that the thing that’s Getting My Goat about spn s13 so far is a black girl from the south calling white law enforcement by their first name after knowing them for 1 (one) day

I’ve got some news for you. If you call yourself a feminist and then take cheap shot insults at women who like getting their nails done, or call women who chose to have children “brainless breeders”…..

You’re not actually a feminist. You’re a self righteous asshat.

Women come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They make choices for themselves that fulfill them. Some may be stereotypical, but I wasn’t aware that made you less of a woman?

How about we celebrate women’s ability to make whatever god damn choices they want in their life if it brings them happiness? Wanna be a sahm? Awesome! I wish you every happiness in the world. Wanna be a top notch executive that travels the globe? That’s amazing! I wish you all the very best!

oh what the FUCK

Forgot to mention it but the other day I dreamed of an episode of supernatural where Dean and Sam and Bela(?) were like. Trying to escape a sieged house. And the cops got Sam I think but Dean and Bela escaped (she helped him disguise himself as a cop I think? And then they hid in another house and escaped from there) and afterwards they showed a little coded message exchange and there were like 4 or 5 messages but the only thing I remember from it is one of them said something like "coffee asexual" and I was like wow big win for the ace gang on tumblr. And then the dream changed to something else

brain is just mii waiting room music as i consider where i've ended up in my supernatural fandom journey
