#spn data

Now, like I said in that ask, I don't remember many moments of him ever aggressively trying to sleep with anyone. He flirts casually, he openly checks out women, sure. Often in an over the top, exaggerated way, which as I've also said, in my personal reading and interpretation I view a lot of that as him overcompensating. But anyways, I was hung up on the "he turned around and called them a bitch" part of the ask.

@swordofsun reblogged the ask and mentioned that in their rewatch so far (up to 1x13) the only time Dean's used the word "bitch" toward a woman is in the pilot toward Constance, the woman in white. I decided to look further, even though I'm only on 1x08 in my rewatch right now. Using this tool which searches all the episode transcripts for specific keywords I looked up the word "bitch." This is just every time the word is used, including in descriptions within the transcript. So descriptions of Sam's "bitchface" are also included in these results lol.

Here are the results of the search:

So, I'm only focusing on s1 right now but I used those episode numbers to look up each individual transcript and do a ctrl-F search of "bitch." Then I made a spreadsheet lol.

The first column lists the episode number. The next column asks: Does Dean say "bitch" other than “Jerk / Bitch” or “son of a bitch.” Following that is a column for examples if yes. And then the final column asks: Is this example toward a woman? Here are the results for s1:

(again open to see better)

Dean says the word "bitch" in contexts other than "Jerk/Bitch" or "son of a bitch" a total of six times out of fifteen episodes in which the word "bitch" shows up in the transcripts. Of those six times, only 3 times is the word directed toward a woman. Once toward Constance, the woman in white. And twice toward Meg. Not once does he use the word toward a woman he's flirting with. Granted, this is only s1 and I'm not saying he never calls a woman a bitch but it's interesting that many have a perception of early seasons Dean being a "ladies man" that is derogatory towards women. But as these numbers show, at least in s1 with the instance of the word "bitch", he does not direct that word toward anyone he's flirting with or interested in, only toward the "villain" or "monster of the week."

TLDR: Despite claims that Dean calls women "bitches" when they reject his advances, at least looking at season 1, Dean only uses the word "bitch" outside of "Jerk/Bitch" or "son of a bitch" contexts only six times, and of those six times only 3 of them are directed toward women, once toward Constance the woman in white, and twice toward Meg.

based on the most important gifset on this website, “Every Time Sam Winchester was Choked S1-S10″ I’d like to point out the guilty parts in this phenomena:

Writers that choked Sam the most: 3 way tie between Kripke, Dabb, and Robbie Thompson, with 5 incidents each

Season with the most incidents: S5, with 7 incidents

thank you @tripleredeye4sam and @sambrosia​ for engaging in important slutwatch activities with me and providing the graphs

*the data in the gifset stops at S10, any attempt to update it would be highly appreciated by myself and the community

(fact check me!)

my past hugs charts

Every instance of the word "skank" in the show:

It's only been used in 13 episodes total. Of those episodes only 6 of them have come from Dean. And of those 6 times, 4 instances were directed toward an antagonist. Only 2 times were they in reference to a non-demon / witch. And one of those two times, in 10x01 he was literally a demon. The other time (10x23) he was heavily under the MOC.

Here is the breakdown + examples from my spreadsheet (click to view larger)

This time I've also included a column with the writers of each episode. I also listed briefly in the "examples" section who the other people saying things were, just for reference. Quite a few times are actually other women using the word. And in 10x17 Dean used the word to call Rowena an "evil skank" and then Rowena uses the word again, taking it as a compliment, and saying "Here's to evil skanks." Not saying that excuses the writers using it or anything, but it is interesting to note a good portion of the non-Dean instances are coming from other women.

Anyways so, the writer breakdown. Whomst is responsible for making Dean use this word? Well of the 6 times Dean uses it, 3 of those times come from a Carver episode (and one of those eps is co-written with Singer). The other 3 times come from Edlund, Kripke, and Dabb. The two times Dean says it referring to a non-antagonist are in Carver episodes.

hi sorry i didn't see this earlier !! but thank you<3 I don't really mind others disagreeing w/ me but yeah i saw a few posts yesterday and i was like, oh no did i accidentally create discourse? sjfkdkdk i'm so insulated in my own corner of spnblr idk what's going on out there in the wild wild west. Also the vaguing feels very high school, like why are we doing that? But anyways, yes, the show as a whole has gone through SO many changes and lived through many eras where the social and political norms changed drastically. It's impossible to overlook those real world contexts and the writers themselves and what they each brought to the show / characters.

Like the show clearly got better (still had lots of flaws don't get me wrong!!) re: stuff like casual sexism / misogyny and the language used as what was socially acceptable to say changed. Like after I did my "bitch" and "skank" searches, I also searched "slut" out of curiosity and it doesn't occur very much (only 18 times out of 300+ episodes) and the use of the word drops off completely after season 12. Strangely it was used the most in season 4, a total of 9 times which is half the total usage of the word. I haven't had time to dig deeper but I'd be curious to see who those s4 writers were and to whom the word was being used (my guess is again villains / enemies / antagonists). But yea it's only used sparingly after s4, and then never after s12 which to me signals that like, the writers realized 'ok we can't get away with using that word anymore bc it's no longer socially acceptable' etc etc.
