Okay i was not supposed to wank, but anyways last time, there is this way of watching spn where esp Deangirls are obsessed with hating John and also they feel like they are being not heard, like the narrative isn't being fair by being John apologetic and this makes them frustrated bcz they are woke and others are dumb and also child abuse supporters and they just aren't getting narrative satisfaction.
Also again sorry but i only wank as a reactionary wanker and i am just very reactionary about these positivity blogs trying to make fandom better that are just delusional, anyways i am probably an awful person to have in fandom due to my negative rancid aura so i do not claim to be making it better but in anycase my issue here is the weird positivity culture creation while scapegoating factions and imposing subjectivity and having no self-awareness about it.
Anyways ya...John, like i just don't care much and am very neutral about my feelings, keyword feelings, cuz its not about what takes you have, its about how much of an obsessed wanker you are, like i just don't feel the need to announce how he needs to die and go to hell esp when you know...he did...like that happened, and if i were to feel sad for Dean and Sam's childhood it will be momentarily, and if i am to be negative about someone like Dean or Sam or Cas (which really i am not about anything) ideally i should get its my problem, doesn't make these feelings nonexistent but ofcourse its better to take things lightly, you know like you should with John, but that's not what they do is it, its such a weird wanky take on crit.
If you want to be negative about him be negative but its not the savage flex you people think it is to say every deancrit and every samcrit is just johncrit. Like yes your childhood affects you deeply like not a hot take most people get it but again its this weird negativity crit thing like what does it even mean, what is the criteria of doing media right and why does it not apply to John and why can one not have takes and feelings about a character and must reroute them to 'ya its John's fault' bcz that's what you want, you want to see no negativity about Dean, you want to control feelings around it and you want it rerouted to John, bcz that's what you do and people can watch and consume things the way they want to, which if they don't want to obsess over how everything Dean and Sam do is cuz daddy issues and so they have no actual negative traits and if they don't have strong constant negative feelings for a character, then they can do that, they are not dumb and evil, its literally you who doesn't have the braincapacity to get that people can have range in how they view characters that isn't rerouting all their feelings to the dad or having severe negative feelings for the dad. Its fine. If you have an issue with this culture of Dean bashing, i get it, but you can't control it with haha dumb people don't know psychology cuz everything you do is your dad's fault and thus dean has no negative traits or actions you and have to have intense hatred and no sympathy for John and never have negative feelings for Dean.
Also its a family tragedy and John is included in it, by the show, i get not liking that s14 ep or whatever but also its not actually unrealistic to acknowledge what your dad did and then be apologetic about it, and it would make less sense for them to be confrontational about it when the love and pain and the knowledge of how rigged things were is there. So what are you even whining about? Declarations not being given when we know by flashbacks and by their actions? A personally satisfactory confrontation that would not make sense? You genuinely think Cas killing John infront of Dean is the genius fix it? The Cas that barely protects his son from Dean? Whining that John is in heaven and how Dean is not with Jack who he treated like that bcz writers and circumstances and John and so its so tragic?
Like again literally feel and like and be compelled the way you want, and i do think some people get too cruel with characters ahem but ya you are not making the point you think you are with have no negative takes and feelings for anyone besides John. Its also literally not that deep, people are hateful and negative about characters usually due to projection and personal feelings and this ranges, like i could have the exact same take as someone about a character but have different feelings or different intensity of feelings.
The point should literally be that your feelings are your own problem, if you feel slighted by something like John, people are going to get slighted by something like well Dean, and then i guess you can discourse away about how noone is the A word but also what if someone is then what? What if Sam is really abusive or Dean is really abusive bcz clearly John is abusive and deserves hate and crit? What if a show has an abusive lead so then can you hate him? Is it now hate is it now okay to hate is it now crit is it now doing media right? Also literally his dad gave him issues means nothing when you talk about someone and who they are and what they did, it can explain it sure, like that's just not how it works, how is it an own? What kind of nonsense is this?
Like what is the point of 'like what i like and hate what i hate'. Again i do think ideally people should not take things srsly at all, but ppl have feelings, that's the whole problem, and the point is to expect people to manage them well and that includes not acting like someone not feeling the way you do is an evil idiot.
