(spn bullshit / jensen ackles) glossing over all the stuff with jared right now bc i can't but me over here always protecting this inclusive texan bc everyone straight wants to say he's a bigot when he isn't
i don't even play dean winchester anymore but i do have feelings about how readily everyone says he's a homophobe etc bc of comments he's made sort of moving things along because creation entertainment is and can be very exclusive
apparently some people don't have anything better to do than to pick apart and make wild conjectures about actors based on every little thing they say wrt a show that's over
Gosh, the homophobia rumors always felt super off to me. I’ve followed Jensen’s career since dark angel and I fell out of it after s5 of supernatural, but he’s always been a very reserved person in his way but kind, chill and open etc. I really don’t understand the character assassination
I'm gonna be honest, as someone who has BEEN to conventions, I think they were one of the biggest mistakes ever invented. Looking back, the performances by the band and the actors were stellar, but god, so much drama stems from these fucking convention panels.
I don't know WHY they're still doing these panels. Well, no, I know it's probably because they make good money off of them, but it's like. Just. Noooo.
simple dog
: yeah i agree and creation entertainment is specifically policing what can be asked or not and is applying pressure where it shouldn't be. like go to the convention and have a good time but keep a clear head about things too
jared is going through something and idk what it is but he's been acting out a lot wrt the spn cast and crew since the finale aired and it could just be that he misses them and doesn't deal with change well or w/e he's allowed to be human too but the most recent in a long line of public mistakes has led to this
Even when I went to the conventions, there were a lot of people who straight up ignored instructions and went on five-minute story time convos about how they were going to kill themselves if not for the things the leads have done in their lives.
But yeah, I just. I don't always agree with the actors, and sometimes they even annoy me or upset me, but I've come to regret the existence of parasocial relationships in SPN fandom, and of the conventions for a hundred reasons (creation being the biggest of course).
Honestly I have no clue what's going on with Jared, he's had moments in the past of being inconsiderate or saying things out of line, but lately he's been really just ????? I'm trying really hard not to speculate on why because that shit really should stay private, but it's hard when said person has a social media platform and convention panels.
I don't know Jared and I don't know Jensen, I met them a handful of times in passing. Like. I don't understand fandom's hyperfocusing, it's not healthy and they need to do themselves a favor and take time off/away, AWAY from social media and AWAY from conventions.
Yuuup. I don't condone people being complete assholes or demanding answers from the actors, and the behavior after the finale was as bad as the finale itself. It completely tanked any desire for me to continue with post-finale stuff.
I don't even know how any of the main characters have social media??? Especially twitter??? God I would hide forever if I had to deal with that torrent.
I knew they weren't going to give fans what they were all hoping for, so my genuine hope was that it would end (poorly probably), people would lament, and then they would do a lot of fix-its
and i do hope whatever jared is going through bc it's clearly something that he is able to work through it soon. like, honestly i just want good things for all of them
and he kept trying to hide from his handlers all night and when people asked why he was stressed he said he ate too much food bc texans don't have portion control
I feel like I was lucky that the convention I went to was fairly chill, no one was obnoxious about shipping stuff that I saw. but I've heard the horror stories
