Do you suppose this is why they deleted it?
The way they showed the "kiss cam" in the official vid of Match in Africa...
This is merely lip service, in my opinion. There’s no reflection of these sentiments on screen so far this season. In fact, there seems to be a deliberate effort to downplay the brotherly bond. Mrs. Singer (and her equally inept writing partner) are the worst offenders, and their scripts are probably more “officially sanctioned” by Bob than those of the other writers. So I’m compelled to believe that Bob Singer is no fan of the brother bond, but will use it for promotional purposes.

+1 to everything you said.
Seriously, if your first instinct upon meeting a famous person (whether it be musician, actor, athlete, whatever) that you like (or dislike, for that matter) is “what can I do to make this person uncomfortable” you need to step back and reevaluate your priorities. Pulling a prank like that would not be “hilarious”, but inappropriate and disrespectful.
I reported the company too, for encouraging harrassment. Hopefully they’re just trying to get some free publicity and nothing will come of this, because it could turn out incredibly ugly and embarrassing for everyone involved.
I was thinking of this prank some shippers intend to pull on Jensen by bringing him some lube for the San Diego comic con. That's a funny idea, don't you think so? I ship J2 and nothing else, but still it would be hilarious. He's such a prude and would bring him out of his shell more.
No, I don’t think it’s a funny idea. Not at all.
This isn’t about shipping at all, this is about making actors uncomfortable and I will never support that, never.
Do you know the definition of the word prude? Here it is for you:
Does that sound like Jensen to you? The guy who has had plenty of sexual scenes on Supernatural?
First of all, Jensen is not a prude. Jensen is more reserved, yes, but not a prude. Second of all, Jensen doesn’t need to be out of his shell anymore. He can come out of his shell as much or as little as he wants. He’s perfect just as he is. If he wants to come out of his shell more, he will and he will do so on his own terms. But he doesn’t have to, not by any means.
This whole prank is bizarre. When I first read it I thought it was some sick joke just on the internet, but when I saw that some people were actually planning on doing it I felt sick.
Jensen has done so much for this fandom and yet the Destiel shippers can never seem to respect him. That’s right, the Destiel shippers. I don’t like to ship hate - actually, I don’t ship hate and I’m all about letting people ship what they want to ship. But in cases like this shippers take it way too far and it is almost always the Destiel shippers in the Supernatural fandom that take things too far. Jensen has repeatedly expressed his dislike and discomfort of being asked shipping questions and even stated that he was thankful Dean and Cas had less scenes together in season 9 because it cut down on the shippers being insane and analyzing every little thing that happened.
If I found out any J2 or Wincest shippers were doing this I would report, block, and completely disassociate myself from those particular people.
But ignoring the shipping aspects of this prank, the fact that human beings think that it is okay to do this to another human being is disgusting. I mean really, who first had the brilliant (please note the sarcasm) idea to associate lube with ships, especially ships nominated for the fucking TeenChoice awards? TEEN CHOICE. Like yes, I’m sure all the 13 year olds that voted even know what lube is. It’s utterly bizarre and annoying as hell.
Respecting actors is something all people should do. Respecting actors who do as much as Jensen does for all of us should be a requirement. This man has been working on this show for over a decade. He has dedicated his life to it. He has turned down big movie rolls and other rolls for this fandom. He has attended conventions and put up with repeated questions and millions of pictures for fans. He takes time away from his daughter for this fandom. He puts everything he has into his acting for this fandom. He has shed blood, sweat, and tears for this fandom and yet certain people still can’t find the decency to give him respect. It’s baffling really.
If people actually go through with this prank, I honestly don’t know what I will do, what Jensen will do, what Jared will do, or what SPN will do. I have already reported the lube company on Twitter that is encouraging this. That’s right, they are reported and blocked. Yes, I am one measly person but hopefully others are doing it as well and it will at least mean something.
Respect our actors, respect their wishes, respect their privacy, and consider others before you even think of doing something so stupid.
And then the whole dubious ticket booking service for the SA exhibition went to hell, and made this day even shittier. 💔
Please be okay, babe.
I read it somewhat differently. It could be about shipping, but the whole “own personal stories” made me think about Jared’s AKF campaign. He started a good thing, and now fans think dumping their emotional baggage on him during cons is perfectly reasonable.
Creation changed their policy about questions. This is on the screen at Vancon right now.
I just said this to ahillmadeof42dogs , but I decided to also make a post. Honestly sometimes it really does feel like the writers are ruining the show on purpose. I think it’s more likely that they just don’t care at all, and are doing whatever will bring in the most viewers in their opinion. Which duh, it’s a business, but the lack of deference to the integrity of the story and characters that were set up for 6+ is still insulting and sad. Supernatural has lasted so long because of it’s loyal fanbase, overhauling the show is a big “fuck you” to that fan base.
Losing the blue collar Americana vibe, brightening the show, subtly changing up the wardrobe, giving them apparent endless funds, as we never see them hustle or scam. Ripping the boys apart, having Dean nod along to a song about Mary’s death, taunting us with the fake samulet and then immediately getting rid of that too, the boys staying separate even when they leave the bunker, Dean doing “Bitch” “Jerk” with everybody except Sam, now someone random dude being allowed to call Sam “Sammy”? Switching out urban legends for fairy-tales and straight up fiction (Oz). All this shit on top of the lack of scary villains and general OOC-ness? What’s left of the original show?!
"Just a meaningless exho" my ass
Roger's eyes moisten and tucked into Rafa's neck while Rafa hugged him tight.
Bye bye Carver, and bye bye show. Singer was the one who brought Castiel back in the first place. Under his direction Misha will be made a lead, and the Gruesome Twosome (Buckner/Ross-Leming) will be made head writers.
HOLY SHIT.
What a labour of love! Thank you so much for this.
It’s over! it’s done! Quick recap: so basically I uploaded the blu-ray rips of the whole series to Google Drive (36 episodes and 5 movies) so everyone can enjoy them and marvel at the beauty of the cream-colored suit in HD. For now the episodes don’t have any subtitles, none of the subs available out there are synced for the blu-ray rips, so if someone wants to contribute with that please let me know! and that’s all there’s to know about it for now. I really hope you have a nice time watching it whether is the first time you watch the series or the 1000th time :) here are the links:
