you gotta be able to say "suicide"

you gotta be able to talk about "sex"

they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE

because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.

even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"

which language mentioned in this post would you say "upsets others unnecessarily" when we're discussing experiences in our own lives?

"Death"? "Suicide"? "Rape"? "Racism"?

This is so so pink 👀but i hope you like it anon

now I know Misha’s said many noteworthy and occasionally unhinged things on stages in his time and he phrased this in the most chaotic manner possible

but I'm just here to say that I think what's noteworthy here is him explicitly calling The CW — the network itself — the homophobic obstacle to destiel

it IS a Big Deal because overall the censorship really just isn’t talked about, as we all know

What is it about the air in Europe what makes Misha Collins act like that edition. Yes those are quotes of his.
