xp silby -- there is apparently a lot of queer "shipping" (?) when it comes to supernatural, and like, it's not that much of a stretch

but i feel like, partly to "compensate" for the feminine qualities of Dean, they give him a lot of trad masculine traits like: fan of classic rock, wears plaid shirts & jeans, really into his car, eats bacon and lots of fast food, drinks shitty beer, easily tempted by attractive women --
― sarahell, Thursday, 31 January 2019 17:35 (five years ago) link
I'm pretty sure those are actually lesbian traits

Just did a quick google search and I'm glad I didn't waste my time waiting for the femme one on Supernatural to come out. At least Mac turned out to actually be gay.

had no idea there was queer subtext in supernatural.
always surprised to notice it is still being made.
only tv show that i ever see being filmed here that i've seen an episode of

fgti, might as well? it has loads of sorta superobvious imagery that was hailed as supergenius when it came out, not a lot of discussion about it these days.

I was at a hotel where a Supernatural convention was taking place a few years back and the fandom... has a demographic
― mh, Thursday, 31 January 2019 19:43 (five years ago) link
the Supernatural ep where they go to a Supernatural fan convention was p brilliant the two lead characters are brothers, just fyi (I understand the actors are not)

what is the demographic
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 31 January 2019 20:33 (five years ago) link
the fandom may have aged but it was nearly all women in their late 20s to early 40s

Disrespectful way to talk about women and Limbaugh imo

xp that’s the case for most fandoms. Supernatural is unique for tons of reasons, but the strong conspiracy theory element amount lots of the fans would be up there.

I really enjoyed that "This Is America" videoDonald Glover has an unexpectedly appealing hair/beard/torso combinationThe first Childish Gambino I listened to was the Awaken, My Love! album and it was excellentI understand that he was not excellent for a while prior to that

tbf community had a very strong nerd following along the lines of "the it crowd" and spawned a gazillion memes itself.i kinda hate it, but that's neither here nor there
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses)
ok derail, i never really saw "the it crowd" but the guy who created it is a transphobic piece of shit? i mean did this just come out of nowhere or what? all i know about that guy is that brian eno had a cameo on "father ted". did the guy who made that show just go insane? i know that's a pretty common thing these days.

Linehan has always been a massive, massive cunt & Guinness world record holder for Most Thin-Skinned Man on Twitter, but seems to have flipped a new nutbag switch in the last year, in re fighting with his irl acquaintances and pretending to be his own assistant posting for him when he “quits” twitter, instead of just posting again six hours later
― sans lep (sic), Friday, 1 February 2019 05:49 (five years ago) link
because he’s so extremely online that he thinks that’s a huge break
― sans lep (sic), Friday, 1 February 2019 05:50 (five years ago) link
I have, thankfully, missed all that
I remember seeing the occasional funny shared thing when he first joined twitter but he’s somehow completely devoted to this weird crusade against people he doesn’t even try to understand
― mh, Friday, 1 February 2019 06:32 (five years ago) link
I didn't really understand all the ins and outs of gamergate but he posted about that all the time.
― kinder, Friday, 1 February 2019 09:50 (five years ago) link
and again I don't see many of his tweets but I've definitely seen him amplifying trans voices (in a seemingly positive way)? Twitter sucks tho so who knows
― kinder, Friday, 1 February 2019 09:53 (five years ago) link
It feels like he started out with a half-arsed comment then turned it into a full crusade cos he can't bear to be criticised but I don't care, I hope he dies soon.

glinner's monomaniacal crusade against trans activists has included campaigning to get mermaids (a charity offering advice for kids w/ gender dysphoria & their parents) defunded, which is what provoked prominent leftwing youtube gaming folk hero hbomberguy to run a marathon donkey kong 64 stream to raise money for them
a p definitive take on glinner comes up in this interview between hbomb and ash sarkar about that stream: https://novaramedia.com/2019/01/23/donkey-kong-is-beautiful-ash-meets-hbomberguy/
for less nuance consult this video in which hbomb calls glinner a pissboy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIM-GKRS9Vk

His official dumb stance is "I've nothing against trans ppl but women are right to want (cis) female only spaces LEGITIMATE CONCERNS"
Don't really see how bursting into cis women's space mumsnet to launch a campaign asking the govt to defund a charity that helps families with trans kids fits into that tho.

Glinner is way past irredeemable at this stage, he loves to cute his feminist credentials because he supported the legalisation of abortion in Ireland, but much anti trans rhetoric is stirred up, perpetuated and spread by campaigners funded by pro-life groups in the US. Where he’s tweeted trans people approvingly, it’s those who agree with them, and women who don’t agree with him are “handmaidens” (ie sex slaves). Tl;dr NV otm
― gyac, Friday, 1 February 2019 10:28 (five years ago) link
aren't mermaids dodgy though? or am I thinking of another sexual abuse charity
― kinder, Friday, 1 February 2019 10:28 (five years ago) link
it depends what you mean by dodgy, all charities are flawed, it's a question of what your priorities are
― ogmor, Friday, 1 February 2019 10:31 (five years ago) link
xp think while some dodgy elements a lot of stuff has been seized on and inflated by anti trans groups.

I see he is also now RTing campaigns to get Stonewall, an LGBT charity, to “reconsider” its policies on trans people. Normal!
