“I’m a bisexual and I don’t think dean winchester is bisexual, that’s really offensive and ignores canonical fact”

sorry i can’t really hear u over how bi dean is

I’ve been laughing at this shit all day.

I think we all need to just sit back and wait for their LGBT studies program to hit actual queer theory.

[For those that did not see the post – someone was claiming that since they are bisexual and have learnings in LGBT studies, they have authority to state that Dean Winchester is not bisexual because the character and Eric Kripke have both said so, so there.]

I am SO glad I was not the only one who saw that BS for the BS it was. It’s the same as the old “you don’t want representation, you just want your ship to be canon” just with a different wrapping.

And seriously, I have searched High and LOW in all interviews and have yet to find that Eric Kripke quote about Dean being Straight. I have found the one about him having an obsession about bromances when talking about Revolution, but nothing about Dean in specific. Except that one where he based Dean off a bisexual character on a book, based on a real person who was bisexual. But hey, that never counts.

I’ve been following Kripke’s interviews since the press junket before the finale of the show even aired and I have never heard him comment on Dean Winchester’s sexuality. He’s extremely careful not to interpret the story for people on much smaller aspects than that. He doesn’t want to interpret the story for people. And it’s ironic that they’ve taken a quote out of the context of Kripke coming to realize just how much his work carries this thematic of homoerotic subtext to misrepresent his views on  Dean Winchester’s sexuality.

Kripke hasn’t really discussed On the Road since the very beginning, but he recently listed Sandman, American Gods, Good Omens and Hellblazer as his influence for the Pilot (all containing LGBT characters, and the last of which has a bisexual main character), and he did this within days of some straight Dean stans attempting to include him in their bullshit on twitter.
