sometimes i think about how I might be more inclined to have thoughts of self harm or even suicidal thoughts if it weren't for the utter contempt my mother had and continues to have for people who attempt or successfully commit suicide.

my brain definitely sucks! having a bad time up here! but Wow does she have a petty and negative reaction to people who do that, and probably I internalized it quite a bit. So I don't ever seriously or even casually entertain those things. Which i guess is a win for me but, woof. I do still find the way she talks about these people very shitty.

it's all very "attention seeking (derogatory)" if you know what i mean. when I was growing up, one of our next door neighbors, who was maybe ten years older than me, tried to commit suicide—thankfully unsuccessfully—several times, and my mom's reaction was to say she was just doing it for attention.

or, when I was in middle school, I had a classmate who was Going Through It, and she cut up her arms quite a bit. there was a school event where parents were invited, and this classmate wore a sleeveless dress, which meant you could see all the scar tissue on her forearms. and my mom said something to the effect of, wow she's just daring everyone to comment isn't she?

obviously i'm of the opinion that if people feel they need attention so badly they're willing to hurt themselves for it, then you should start paying more attention to them, help them get better, and not be a dick about it. that is...not really her take.

more recent example: when anthony bourdain died, her response was to say doesn't he have kids? that's so selfish of him! and. well. 💀

why am I contemplating this now? who can say! perhaps it was that post asking people to vote on what their relationship with their parents is like. love my mom so much, and I like her a lot of the time, too. but all my societal-expectations-based issues, all the ways I struggle with my sense of propriety, are deeeeeefintely her fault.

So I’m confused why are people bent out of shape over the incest undertones meant to be horrific in supernatural but not the fact that Dean canonically would and wants to fuck underage/teenage girls, which is portrayed in a humorous and light manner?

I basically wrote an essay, so you better appreciate this anon 💀

I'm not an expert on how these people think (I am, in fact, often very baffled), but I think in the end this all boils down to purity culture.

Purity culture is characterized by black/white thinking and the belief that there should be nothing "problematic" in fiction: Regardless of how it is framed, or what its intentions are, problematic subject matters like abuse, incest, non con, underage etc. should not be featured or explored in fiction in any way, not even if it functions as critique or is meant to be distrubing - murder seems to be fine with a lot of these people though, even though they claim that fiction has a direct 1:1 effect on reality, their main argument for the abolishment of these contents. Hypocrisy is a core aspect of purity culture, because at the end of the day it boils down to wanting to eradicate things that make them personally uncomfortable, using morality and wokeism as justification to feel morally superior an put other people down. So certain people see the incest undertones in spn, are disgusted/uncomfy whatever and throw a tantrum because incest = bad and should therefore not exist in fiction, and depicting it in any way is wrong and sick and a sign of moral degeneration. How purity culture has managed to become such a dominant force in the fandom of spn, a horror show, a genre that is literally about confronting you with dark subject matter (often incest might I add) and aiming to disturb you, I do not get in the slightest.

Now you may say, but wouldn't these people find Dean problematic too, and you're right, logically they should. But, as I said, hypocrisy. Of course they can't stan a character that is problematic in any way, so they have to find ways to make them unproblematic, e.g. creating brainrot meta about this character, painting them as flawless and blameless or woobyfying them in order to blame any problematic things they did on other characters. (The reverse of this being villanizing characters they don't like because they're morally upright, if they don't like someone they have to be evil.)

This is something I see in fandom general, but Dean's case is the most extreme by far. There is a (horrifyingly large) subset of Dean stans that have a very strange relationship to his character, namely, they love a version of him that does literally not exist and is in fact in many aspects the opposite of who he is. They prescribe to the performativity theory, which is that Dean's macho personality is only a performance, i.e. it's not what he's really like, it's just a front he copied from John/was forced to put on by evil John who didn't want him to be who Dean really is. So when Dean is being a creep, sexualizing teenage girls, then (in their mind), that's not really Dean, he doesn't mean any of these things, he just feels pressured to say these things. Or they make it even easier for themselves and say that this is not the character but the writers 💀I kid you not, I have seen countless of posts that are like, well that was not really Dean, in my heart I know he's not like that 🥺 the writers are just sexist/homophobic/racist or the writers don't get him. The Dean stan brainrot is real.

I feel like I haven't mentioned the lack of media literacy enough, because being upset by a horror show containting dark content matter is insane, but I think that's connected to fandom purity culture in general. But I think it's time to come to an end, I babbled long enough. Also my brain is empty now and I'm going to bed 😆 I hope I was clear?
