Another round of debunking

f-ckyeahfutbol:

There are people in this fandom that keep and keep spreading misinformation  that has no basis in reality which a lot of people seem to take for the truth just because it has been repeated often enough.

The series creator Eric Kripke has never called Dean Winchester straight. In a round table interview in Comic Con in 2013, in just one of many, he spoke of his thematic of unstated homoerotic subtext in his work, paralleling the brothers Sam and Dean to the characters Sebastian and Miles from his new show Revolution, which was the topic of the interview, and he called Sebastian and Miles straight guys. He did not call Dean Winchester a straight guy. At no point did he call Dean Winchester a straight guy. He has never called Dean Winchester a straight guy in any recorded interview in the last eleven years. Eric Kripke has, however, confessed on his own twitter account that he used Hellblazer, Good Omens, American Gods, and Sandman as his inspiration for The Pilot episode. These influences have something in common.

The two other show runners have never commented on Dean Winchester’s sexuality at all. Sera Gamble described the show as the epic lovestory of Sam and Dean.

It also falsely claimed that all the writers either think Dean Winchester is straight (which is naturally unverifiable but extremely unlikely), or that all the writers have in fact said that Dean Winchester is straight.

The only writer that is quoted on having described Dean Winchester as heterosexual is Ben Edlund – according to Jensen Ackles’ 2013 Jus in Bello convention appearance. This claim was made in reference to the same scene (8.13) that Ben Edlund himself, in his own words, describes on the DVD commentary of being a romantic comedy kind of fluster and that Dean and Aaron could come together, agreeing with the director Phil Scriggia that there’s potential for love in all places for him.

Robert Berens approves of fans thinking that Dean likes both dick and vag in French.

Robbie Thompson once tweeted “Destiel isn’t canon? ;)” and has since deleted the tweet.

Cathryn Humphris thought Nick the Siren was based on “Dean’s perfect mate”.

Adam Glass is of the opinion that you’re free to interpret the story as you damn well like.

That is all we know about the opinions of the writers even tangentially related to Dean Winchester’s sexuality. And this is only a small handful of writers. Not one of the writers currently writing for the show has ever called Dean Winchester straight, not once, not anywhere that can be verified.

In the interest of not falsely presenting the evidence, I will also add that the director Guy Norman Bee has stated on twitter that Destiel is not the story. He was, however, not commenting on Dean Winchester’s sexuality.

The only person that has claimed that Dean Winchester is not bisexual is Chad Kennedy, the director of current programming at Warner Brothers. His opinions, however, do not reflect those of the CW or the creators of Supernatural, as his twitter disclaimer was subsequently changed to state.
