Jensen on the Superntrual Series Finale(x)(x)(x)

“I want it to end in a way that does justice to what we’ve built for the past 14½ years. The game plan that we have is going to do just that.”-Jensen Ackles, Entertainment Weekly

 “This is certainly going to feel right and it’s going to feel good. It should put a lot of people in a position to feel great about the journey they took with the Winchester brothers.”- Jensen Ackles, Entertainment Weekly

When our dashboards and blogs appear to be in a completely different world from the dashboards and blogs from other fandoms, it’s easy to forget that we’re all connected by a shared passion for our beloved shows. I don’t know if the waves caused by the Supernatural finale have been felt across fandom spaces on here, but I would urge everyone to read the below article which does a great job in expressing the distress a lot of the SPN fans are feeling (warning, there are major spoilers):

We, as a fandom, are trying to boycott The C*W in the hope that hitting them financially will mean that they will have to pay attention to the effects of their decisions and will hopefully mean that there is better POC representation, disability representation, queer representation, and mental health representation in their shows. Despite their hollow corporate messaging and their inclusion of minor or shallow characters which tick their diversity quota, The C*W ultimately fails to champion multi-faceted and complex diverse characters. 

If The C*W did wrong by your show, please help us. The C*W is a huge and powerful network, but the more we as a group join together, the stronger we become. 

The C*W has ruined the final message of our show, please help us to make sure your favourite show doesn’t end up like ours. Supernatural won’t gain much from this, but maybe this will help your show achieve better representation and progressive storylines. 

Here’s what you can do to help:

- Unfollow any official C*W_Whatever account on all social media platforms - both the C*W account as well as the official programme account. This includes facebook, insta, youtube, etc. 

- Use the hashtags #TheySilencedYou / #TheySilencedThem on twitter. Do not include official show or network hashtags alongside. 

- Do not engage with official C*W social media accounts or official hashtags.

- In general, minimise engagement or using hashtags for your show on social media platforms apart from tumblr.

- When many of your shows return, you could hold off watching them for a while. I know this is extreme, but I thought I might suggest it anyway.

- Share posts such as this one around your fandom spaces and have conversations with your fellow members of your fandom about these issues.

To our friends in fandoms for The Flash, Batwoman, Riverdale, The 100, Charmed, The Outpost, and other C*W shows, please consider helping our voices be heard. 

This poster has no interest in the lgbtq+ community or they wouldn’t be trying to cause damage to a network that has been listening and making significant changes, just not with a specific character on a specific show, and that should be okay. lgbtq+ representation on CW shows is number 1 on Glaad ratings.

What this toxic fan and others like them actually wanted was not representation but a specific ship on a specific network to be made canon which is a fetish. The show was never going to make a fanon ship canon. The only person that queerbaited them was Misha Collins who benefited financially from doing so and even now is selling ship merchandise through his online store.

Op, what you are doing is toxic. You didn’t get the pony you were screaming for. Grow up.

Stop causing damage to the lgbtq+ very valid desire for representation in the media.

The “fans” add up to less than 10000 worldwide (including sock accounts). They are just a very loud, very active minority.

And what you should be thinking about is what these toxic people could do to your favourite shows if they get a foothold in your fandom. Imagine them trying to change the entire premise of a show you love just because they like the idea of two people together and want to see that play out on screen, rather than what the rest of us do and explore it in fanfiction.

Supernatural had representation of ALL those things and more!

POC - Rufus, Billie, Gordon, The Alpha Vamp, Missouri, Kevin and his mom, and an assortment of angels, demons, vamps, and werewolves, not to mention the victims and people the boys saved.

Disability - Eileen, Bobby in a wheelchair, the blind carnival guy all come to mind.

Queer - Charlie, God, Crowley …

Mental Health - Sam, Max, the girl in the mental facility that Sam saved. There are more but I am just giving examples.

For the OP to infer Supernatural fans who don’t fall in line with the cASS deserved better campaign are toxic homophobes who ruined the show is at best a bad joke, at worst an insult to anyone who actually watched the show.

As others have said, SPN already has plenty of representation for women, POC, and queer characters.  This includes important, powerful, and/or popular characters such as Chuck, Amara, Crowley, Billie, AU!Michael, Raphael, Dagon, Abbadon, Eve, Naomi, Anna, the Alpha Vampire, Missouri, Ellen, Jo, Rufus, Charlie, Kevin, Eileen, Rowena, Max & Alicia Banes, Claire, Kaia, Patience, and many more, as well as the numerous minor and one-shot characters who fall into one or more of these categories.  These characters were portrayed in positive, non-stereotypical ways, and yes while many of them died, SPN is a horror show where everyone dies and far more straight white men have died than any one else.  It’s especially hypocritical to complain about a network that has many, many other shows featuring queer, POC, and/or female main and/or major characters, including Batwoman, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Charmed, Black Lightning, Roswell NM, Nancy Drew, Legacies, and more–gaining the CW one of the highest GLAAD ratings among TV networks.

But “fans” like OP don’t care about any of that.  They only care about seeing the specific pairing they fetishize happen onscreen and nothing else.  They don’t care that this would involve erasing both characters’ well-established canon sexualities and force them to behave in a completely OOC that makes no sense given their past history.  They don’t care that the characters have a problematic, often toxic canon relationship whose issues would only be exacerbated if it became romantic.  They don’t care that such a romance would hardly be good representation as a result of these issues, particularly at the last minute and completely out of nowhere.  They just want to be able to wank off to these two characters making out onscreen and to be able to proclaim that they’ve “won” after 12 years of the vast majority of the fandom (since by their own polls, these “fans” make up <1% of all SPN viewers and <15% of SPN blogs here on Tumblr) telling them that they’re wrong.

And their accusations of being misled and “queerbaited” are just as false as their phony virtue-signalling for “representation.”  At no point did TPTB promise or even imply that a particular character would come out as queer or a particular ship be made canon on SPN.  In fact, multiple members of the cast and crew, including Jensen, Jared, Eric Kripke, Robert Singer, and various writers, set designers, etc., have explicitly stated over the years that neither are part of the show or ever intended to be included.  Likewise, the characters involved have been very clearly portrayed as heterosexual (Dean) or mostly asexual with an interest in females (Castiel).  All of the “proof” that “fans” like OP try to use to justify their accusations is based on homophobic and toxic masculinity-based stereotypes, cherrypicking lines or scenes taken out of context, manipulating images and GIFs, assigning meaning to nonsensical drivel like shirt colors, lighting, and set decor, and creating convoluted “meta” full of logical fallacies.  So they only have themselves to blame for ignoring the facts and instead investing themselves in something that never existed.
