It’s probably been discussed in the fandom, I’m not keeping close tabs, but how lucky is it that the guy who, um, portrays Dean in This Ain’t Supernatural, an otherwise underwhelmingly straight porn parody, also does this.
Is this a lovely coincidence, or did porn casting really get this meta-fanfic-y?
Also, if things look a touch “odd” down there, I recall reading or hearing somewhere (now I can’t remember where) that Vicki took the photo because he had in fact put a starfish on his penis. So there’s that.
Ok, so you may or may not have heard about what’s going on with this photo. Lush Cosmetics has posted this photo in a few malls and has been asked to take it down.
Why. Please explain to me how this is any different then a Victoria’s Secret advertisement. Please explain to me what’s wrong this photo. Is it going to “scar” children? Absolutely not. Children are going to say “That photo looks like a normal person and I know that it’s ok to look like that”. Teenagers will walk past this poster and realize that this is what beauty is. Those with eating disorders might not skip dinner. As someone who struggles every single day with body image, this is refreshing. This photo isn’t photo shopped. This photo hasn’t been altered. These are real women with real lives that have real emotions like I do. And it is really amazing to know that my body is beautiful. To have a gentle reminder that I’m a normal person and that nothing is wrong with me, is spectacular. My boobs aren’t big, and my stomach isn’t flat, and I have more stretch marks than I know what to do with. But I am beautiful. Thank you Lush. Thank you for inspiring me to know that I am worth it. We need to spread this photo like wildfire. This photo needs to be seen. Our voices must be heard. If it can affect me this much, then imagine what I can do to millions of others.
Also, butts rock.
It being claimed as pornographic is male hypocrisy at its finest
Since when have butts been offensive? Galleries around the world are full of butts, mostly women’s. Free the booty!
I feel like the comparison to Victoria’s Secret ads is a little off the mark. VS models aren’t totally naked. You can have in-your-face, beautiful, fat models without public nudity. No, it isn’t pornographic, at all, but it’s still not something I want a hypothetical person to see without warning, walking down the street. And art galleries have a totally different expectation than the mall, as far as how much nudity the average person is expecting or willing to see.
Those ladies are rocking the pose (go them!) but it doesn’t belong in a mall. Malls are pg-rated at most, on purpose, so everyone can feel comfortable there.
I had to check out that guardians of the galaxy porn parody because the description sounded ridiculous and it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds I’m losing my shit
So I was inspired tonight to write a post that’s actually been on my mind for some time now. And it has to do with a specifically visual element of Dean’s queer-coding that I’ve honestly never seen anyone do any analysis on. (Which is quite surprising to me actually, given how much meta exist on this topic more generally)
So, basically my thesis is that particularly from S.4 on, there has been a repeated gag which is almost exclusively reserved for Dean, and which strongly mirrors a particular gay porn trope – the (holy water) facial. Please beware, under the cut there are explicit gay porn scene GIFs. You have been warned.
