spn from s12 and onwards was really we brought mary winchester back to show that the martyred image of her was a fantasy and that when she’s free of angelic interference she’s a complex and flawed character just like everyone else

and y’all were like oh? she’s not 100% dedicated to being a mother after being suddenly thrust back into life after decades? she’s actually the most evil being in the universe

and i just… i need y’all to understand that this take is more misogynistic than the fucking spn writers… i cannot overstate how much you do not want to be more misogynistic than them

#supernatural #mary winchester #misogny #listen i have major issues with how they wrote her #but like since when do we expect consistent characterization from spn??#the writers all had different perspectives and were fighting amongst themselves to shoehorn their vision into the show #but none of that or her story really matters #when the main reason most of y’all cite for her being The Worst #is not wanting to be entirely defined by being a mother #and say it with me now #that 👏 is 👏 misogyny 👏#im begging y’all to be less sexist than supernatural #which is the lowest possible bar #and yet!
