making this up as I go

Couple of thoughts--

First, that's an official youtube account and it's gratifying that WB has an official spn account that can say destiel out loud. Maybe a reflection of a tiny shift not to stigmatize the existence of that perspective on the text. Officially.

Second, that's a collection of unadorned canon clips and to me that is an acknowledgment that the readings come from us looking at the text itself and it's valid. We looked at canon. This is how we saw it.

Third, there are already hellers trying to weaponize this against Jensen which is just rotten and ruining the party. It's just a crummy thing to do to Jensen and it disrespects and misses the point of the joy of this video being posted for pride. The perspective on destiel in the text fans have shouldn't take backseat to this endless grudgewanking on Jensen, from hellers who think he has no rights to his own opinions on the text...yet they want destiel pov on the text to be respected...and treat him badly. It's rotten to Jensen. And it's rotten for the destiel lane.

There are several things wrong with this post.

1 - "officially" -- according to whom? The opinion of whoever made this post apparently.

2 - "Tracker's best future" - while I'm focused on Jensen, obviously, I respect the work Justin Hartley is doing on this series and I like him and am enjoying the show. That phrase seems like it's being backhanded about Justin. Tracker is his show. He's the lead, and a producer. Yes I think Jensen is great and adds something great to any show he's added to but insinuating he is the only way Tracker has a good future is just...insulting.

3 - whoever wrote this sure is eager to bury any hopes of more Russell Shaw in S4, or a potential spinoff. They can have their opinion but that's not what I saw when I watched the season finale. What I saw was a bunch of seed-planing that smelled strongly of backdoor pilot, almost, or if said spinoff is unlikely, a lot of setup on where they could go with Russell in S4. It was an interesting situation Russell is caught in (which he did to protect his brother) and is begging for follow up.

Claiming that Dean "hates dogs" has no solid basis in the text, only that the hellhounds would make him understandably wary but because dogs reminding him of hellhounds, not because he ever hated dogs or hates dogs.

None of this steals from Sam loving dogs. Sam loves dogs. Good for Sam! What does that have to do with Dean having to hate them. Nothing.

Accusing the text of making Dean some sort of stereotype of an American man by letting him like dogs and giving him a dog in 15.20 sure is a strange take given how many people in the US and globally absolutely love dogs. Or accusing Dean of acting like a 14-year-old if he likes dogs. If Sam loves dogs, under their argument, then I guess Sam too is a stereotype of an American man and acting like a young teen too. Oops?

Before Sam stans accuse Dean fans of not knowing the spn canon, perhaps they should pay more attention to the text and to Dean themselves. Also playing the "real Dean fans" card to say we should dislike that Dean had Miracle to comfort him--oh they need to sit down they don't even like Dean, they don't appreciate him, they only use him to make him be only about Sam or to complain that he stole all of Sam's cookies.

About Sera Gamble firing him in S7 and the network president telling SPN to bring him back:

“Season 7 is not my favorite because they killed me and I was told I wasn’t coming back at the beginning of the season. That colors my affinity for that particular era in the series. “ “They tried to kill me and then the network president had said ‘you gotta bring that guy back’”
