Of all the Dean-is-hetero!!1! arguments running around the world/fandom, the one that continues to frustrate and baffle me the most BY FAR is the he-said-he’s-straight-therefore-it-must-be-true argument.
Like…do these people even watch the show? At all?

They bang on and on and on and ON about what an emotionally repressed liar Dean is.
Dean Winchester is NOT a reliable narrator of his own feelings. If you even watch the show casually, you should know this. They aren’t subtle about it. And it’s been a fairly consistent character trait for the show’s entire run.
I know I’ve said this all before, but sometimes I feel the need to reiterate because this is SO easy to refute as a textual claim. I am always just utterly amazed when people pull out the “I don’t swing that way” line like it’s some kind of trump card. I’m like, do you not understand that’s actually one of your WEAKEST lines of argumentation? By that logic I can reasonably assert Dean isn’t a fan of Dr. Sexy, because he said he’s not.
Even though he, ya know, CLEARLY IS.
Characters lie. Dean lies more than most characters. Hello. Get a clue. “He said it” ISN’T A GOOD REASON TO BELIEVE HIM.
