I'm legit curious from anyone who's seen it: is it actually homophobic? Like "he died and went to hell" is from all I've heard in this franchise similar to Buffy, an invitation for a "let's go to Hell and get them out!" unless they qualify it with "no this is real death tho"https://twitter.com/VapourSnake/status/1324678999319040001 …

Like I don't know anything about these two characters but this seems to be inviting a plot where Dean invades Hell and says "I love you too" or something

I don't watch supernatural at all but I know enough via osmosis that I can pretty confidently say they've been queerbaiting for a phenomenal amount of time and I think the series is ending now?

As far as I'm aware, though, this is 'real death' for that character.

S15E21 one-line synopsis (airs 2020.11.19) says he’ll be back, which implies they’re not trying very hard to keep a lid on that.

Possibly as a(n overoptimistic?) bid to avoid a hard BYG verdict

Well, like I said, I don't know much about supernatural but I hope it can give queer fans and fans of the ship something a little more satisfying? Ya'll deserve that after fifteen fuckin' years.pic.twitter.com/a6jKgp2PCm

Me as well, I have no interest in Supernatural (tried picking it up the year after Angel to scratch that itch, and it didn't and I never returned) The impression I get, to analogize this, is that this is like if Spike/Angel had been a serious ship people thought might happen?

Yeah basically but imagine if this were dragged out for literally ten years

And, like it's to a degree where the baiting arguably harmed the show in the other direction too Like they were never gonna make Dean and Castiel an official couple but the fact that all the fans wanted them to be meant they couldn't give them real love interests either

This is the whole big fandom paradox, where once the show developed a female-dominated fanbase with an outsized core of devoted slash shippers, that's why the show ended up getting all misogynist and killing off all its female love interests

Because the wackjob fans HATED anyone who "came in between" Sam, Dean and Castiel, even though the idea of Cas actually dating Dean was obviously out of reach and the idea of "Wincest" being canon was REALLY obviously not gonna happen
