#still cant believe theres disk horse about this thing

... apparently there's disk horse about who is "entitled to laugh about" this destiel clusterfuck.

Look, I'm sorry, but. Well no, actually, scratch that, I'm not sorry. I know I haven't been in the fandom for years. I don't remember when I shamelessly abandoned supernatural but I know it was after watching the first episode of Season 10 - and up to that point I had been like, heavily involved in the overall spn fandom and super invested in destiel. But I remember I watched that episode and I was like, the fuck is this bullshit lmao and I never watched it again. Like I was suddenly too tired of the show or something.

Anyway, back to the point. Being defensive about who's allowed to laugh about how they decided to end a literal decade of will-they-won't-they, queerbait-y shit? Fam, chill out. Like, at this point, in this fucking year, this provided a desperately needed laugh in my opinion.

A friend sent me The Scene™ and honestly? I couldn't watch it. I pressed play and the cringe factor was so high I just noped out of it, but I digress.

I am genuinely sorry for the people who are still fans of the show and are still invested in these characters and this ship. What happened must've really sucked. Shows can disappoint you, ya know?

I can't speak to the whole situation being homophobic, cause honestly? I don't care anymore. In the year of our Lord which I don't believe in 2020, there's many shows and movies with such good representation on lgbt+ characters and themes, that I can't make myself waste time and energy on this. Would it have been cool if they had made it canon and given them a happy ending? OF COURSE. Hell, I probably would've gotten right back into the fandom, if I'm being honest. Also, it's highly unlikely, but from what I've been reading there's a couple of episodes left? Something... uh, good? Might still happen? Idk at this point, and I also don't care.

Like I said, let random people laugh about this clusterfuck. Just, deep breath and move on. Block people if you must! Filter them out of your dashboard! Curate your fandom experience!

Let people have their laugh, p l e a s e.
