con season psa
casthewise:
Con season is always generally a shit show, but what the kickoff has taught me is that:
- The makeup of the fandom has dramatically changed since 15x18.
- Nuance is hard to come by in the new normal for this fandom.
- Because of that, this con season is going to be fucking unbearable.
If you have not been here before, please buckle up and get ready. This is an old fucking show. To demand the things you receive from other new (read: progressive) shows, showrunners and actors will not be given to you here. If you’re looking for confirmation that destiel is canon, that they fucked, that they’re queer, it will not happen. It just won’t. The narrative you built up of them is a narrative. In reality, we have explicit confirmation from the people who were gonna give us that, and no amount of question-asking is going to change that for the others. Seriously. (That being said, I am always hopeful and would love to be proved wrong, also I love the questions.)
Do you have the right to be upset? Of course you do. But this is why people left the fandom in the first place… and then left again after the finale. You’re talking about real people with different life experiences on stage like 20 times a year, talking to large groups of people about an emotionally charged thing that tbh, we know wayyyyyy more about; fuckups are the only consistent thing to ever happen.
So just prepare yourself. J*red will 100% be a self-centred bigot again, Jensen will remain neutral, and Misha will continue to be vague on stage. Be prepared to wait until you hear/see/have proof of an entire answer/interaction before you get righteously angry, and then to think critically and add nuance to your interpretation of them. And wishing death on someone after idolizing them two days prior isn’t a good look. (If you’re really that incensed, maybe going here isn’t a good choice?)
S15 may have aired in 2020, but as we all know, SPN didn’t really progress with the times. I had kind of expected them to be a little more loose-lipped because things ended, but that’s clearly not gonna happen so we need to adjust our expectations. I dunno, I was honestly kind of taken aback by my dash the past couple of days, and none of y’all are gonna survive if this is how you approach the entire season.
