Ok guys we can log off now. All that we need to say about supernatural has been said 

[starsovermyhead]

ok actually seriously. it should not be a controversial opinion to think that dean using disparaging language only sometimes against women—a thing that almost all characters in this show do—is NOT actually worse than sam repeatedly immediately judging the women dean shows interest in as tacky and slutty and unimportant. like do i like that language? no, but that’s very much so a writing issue and you can’t ascribe it just to dean. but even considering that, let’s be so real here. if i were a demon who possesses and tortures people i don’t think i’d be at all that offended by being called a skank. but if i were starla (from tall tales) i would be very offended by sam’s shallow image of me. 🤷‍♀️

Exactly. Also, I think it's good to remember that censorship only allowed for a few "bad" words in an episode. The very fact that the words considered acceptable by censors are ones with sexist connotations is a commentary on a misogynistic society rather than a particular character.

some people on this site want to get so caught up on word choices used in an early 2000s television show ignoring the fact that said word choices were a symptom of the times and our real life society and that those kinds of words were being used casually in pretty much every network drama show of the era (and often in more frequent and worse ways than spn ever did). and when other fans point out additional context and how a character's actions portray a different picture, such as dean caring about the women in his life, respecting and loving his partners, having numerous platonic female friends, empathizing and bonding with multiple female victims, being sex worker positive, being a mentor figure to young women etc etc some people will then whine that we are "excusing his actions" when no, we're the ones actually talking about actions while they're caught up on vocabulary. with a character who is repeatedly established to contradict the things he says vs what he actually does. and it looks very silly to throw tantrums trying to reduce a complex, layered character like dean to a handful of tropes and bad personal projections. and to then continue said tantrums in the askboxes of multiple blogs? foolish. like clearly there is a disconnect. these people are watching a different show, or they have not watched the show at all, or their brain fell out and they forgot everything except their own headcanons --non-canon by definition. i don't know what it is, but it looks damn ridiculous tbqh

This is a little silly and pedantic, but to be quite clear, neither Dean nor Sam nor Cas ever called a woman on Supernatural a "whore" besides The Whore of Babylon from 5.17 because it was her literal name. Funnily enough, Dean is actually a little taken aback and admonishes Cas for calling a woman that before he realizes it's her actual name.

SAM: Well, for starters…Leah is not a real prophet. DEAN: Well, what is she, exactly? CASTIEL: The whore. DEAN: Wow. Cas, tell us what you really think. CASTIEL: She rises when Lucifer walks the earth. “And she shall come, bearing false prophecy.” This creature has the power to take a human’s form, read minds. Book of Revelation calls her “the Whore of Babylon.”

There are other uses of the word "whore" in the series but none of them came from TFW. Crowley is a big fan of "whore" though.

One other thing: people are free to feel and say "I am not okay with a demon in a female vessel being called a skank on the CW's Supernatural I do not like hearing it". I think it's perfectly fair to feel that way, even if I don't happen to be as bothered by it.

That doesn't mean the context of its use is actually irrelevant. When you say "Dean calls women skanks", I think it's obvious that you're intentionally obscuring information to make it seem as if Dean sees women as a monolith as "skanks", and that he's calling women that all over the place for not wanting to sleep with him or for cutting him off in line or for just existing as a woman when you know full well that isn't true. You are perfectly free to criticize Dean for calling someone who repeatedly demeaned him, wished him an eternity in hell, tried to get his brother to violate his autonomy behind his back, and tried to get him and his brother to do things like sacrifice a virgin to save their own asses a "skank". That doesn't mean "Dean calls women skanks" isn't an intentionally vague statement that you're throwing around to sow a narrative that Dean despises women—a claim you know full well is deeply disingenuous based on the actual loving relationships Dean has with multiple women such as Cassie, Charlie, Jody, and Donna as well as general interactions he has with episodic characters.

Dean Winchester

Shit the fandom just makes up about him

[starsovermyhead]

Gonna make the controversial claim that a lot of Deancrits are like that simply because they don't know any decent "macho" men. They think that if you're blue collar and like whiskey, beer, muscle cars, red meet, and black coffee you're automatically a misogynist or homophobe.

when will casgirls talk about the time where castiel attacked the woman in the bad seed (clearly this was reflective of his deep seated misogyny and not because he was under an attack dog spell)

When will they talk about him calling The Whore of Babylon a whore 😔

When will they talk about him forcing a kiss on Meg 😔

When will they talk about him torturing women for information and killing their children 😔

When will they talk about him killing female colleagues for not yielding to his authority 😔

When will they talk about his polygamy 😔

[starsovermyhead]

only dean's birthday can fix this discourse n—

[starsovermyhead]

Honestly you gotta commend Jared Padalecki for his bravery if it were me I wouldn’t dare show up on a set with the people that were around my ex coworker the day I threw a temper tantrum on Twitter about his passion project because he didn’t tell me about it

parasocialism: when you think a public figure is more left wing than they really are because you personally like them

This isn’t commonly known but one of the rings of hell is actually being in a fandom wherein the popular bloggers have the worst opinions known to man that everyone else parrots
