which is as respectable a hobby as any other way to approach fandom, or at least a nearly inevitable response to the horror of having the CW's Supernatural forcibly rewire your neural pathways, but the wank is neverending because these mutually incompatible readings keep bumping elbows with each other and somebody always eventually decides to make the very existence of some other reading Their Business. and this isn't even a wholly negative thing--the outside reaction is an important check on the tendency for each niche to spiral off into whackadoodle echo-chamber land--but every time people start getting into serious fights about it or trying to frame their reading as morally obligatory it always comes back to. like. we are all getting very different things out of this fuckass show, and the existence of people who don't have a lot of overlap with you on what speaks to them is Basically Fine. maybe try to stick closer to the shared facts of Specific Things That Happened Onscreen if you're trying to engage with them and remember that long chains of implications are an inference that you have to make a case for (and that they may or may not choose to partake in). this doesn't mean you're making shit up but it does mean your take isn't mandatory for anyone with a shred of media literacy.
