Wanna know what happened?
Someone went to the mic and said
“I have really loved seeing Dean grow more comfortable with himself this season. As a bisexual myself-“
and the crowd started booing.
ON WHAT PLANET IS IT APPROPRIATE TO BOO WHEN SOMEONE STATES THEIR SEXUALITY?
I don’t care whether you think the question was valid or not. Know why? You didn’t hear it. You cut someone off after they stayed their sexuality.
Foul play.
And you can’t tell me the reaction would have been the same had the crowd not erupted with boos. Sure, the question may have still been stopped, but at least no one would have shamed someone for staring their sexuality.
This fandom I s2g
Okay you know what? I don’t even HAVE to go watch the actual video myself to be able to tell that the crowd wasn’t booing because of her SEXUALITY. They were booing at the obvious direction of the question, which was obviously going to be something about Dean’s sexuality, or the possiblity of him becomin canonically bi.
Which is FUCKING PRECISELY the types of questions that Jensen requested he not be forced to answer. KNOW WHY? Nope. Because he’s already answered this many many many times, and in about as many different ways as there are to communicate this, he’s told us that nope Dean is straight and that is not something he sees (in terms of his own understanding of the character) as changing. Which is incidentally also the view of the show’s original creator, and its many writers and showrunners.
But this hasn’t stopped people from just asking it over and over and over. Why would you keep asking it….. unless you somehow think the answer is going to change if you keep asking it. And Jensen knows he can’t honestly change the answer, and so is never going to give you the answer that you want.
BECAUSE LET’S FACE IT. YOU’RE NOT ASKING IT IN AN OPEN MINDED MANNER, WHERE YOU WANT TO HEAR JENSEN’S THOUGHTS ON DEAN’S SEXUALITY. NO YOU’RE ASKING IT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO HEAR ONE ANSWER AND ONE ANSWER ONLY.
Because let’s examine what happens whenever he HAS answered it in the past, to the best of his knowledge— he has been accused of homophobia. REPEATEDLY.
So can you (the plural you as in any and all who seem so fucking trigger happy at the chance to jump to the worst possible conclusions and assasinate a real living and breathing person’s character) please just step back just for a second, and look beyond the possiblity that this was about someone’s sexuality, and that it was maybe about the question of Dean’s sexuality, and Jensen’s knowledge that he really couldn’t give you the answer you’re looking for? AND THAT ALL OF THIS HORRID AND CRUEL REACTION WITH THE ATTACKING AND NAME CALLING AND CALLS FOR A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN AND HARASSING OF HIS BEST FRIEND ON TWITTER IS PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO AVOID??????
1. Still not okay.
