I can’t help but laugh at those Samsung “smart refrigerator” commercials where all the family is laughing and smiling at its cameras and telling it to order food for them. Like enjoy your government spy device. Samsung doesn’t even try to hide their shit is constantly recording you.
will misha stans ever let go of the idea that misha is some unpopular kid that jensen has a duty to protect from bullying or will they keep embarrassing themselves?
This is the greatest map I have ever seen. I want an interactive version where you can click on any city in the world and get a pop-up list of all the climate-equivalent cities.
so it turns out this exists and it makes a fine rabbit hole for passing the time during a conference call
Honestly, everytime someone says “the Supernatural fandom is a family!” I’m reminded of Metatron:
“Listen to you. Still spitting out the company line like anyone cares. Like we’re actually a family?”
If the SPN fandom is a family, it’s a toxic one. Sure, fans can and have come together to raise awareness for depression and deforestation….but when you’re interacting with the fandom? It’s all a crock of shit.
How many people have admitted they’re afraid to voice their opinions in the fandom? Or when you do, you’re met with snippiness and your post is passed around a bunch of assholes who will just mock you and what you have to say rather than listen and start an actual conversation.
Or other fans DEMAND you like a certain arc/spinoff/character/ship or you’ll be harrassed, accused of being things you’re not, and have to turn off anon for a while.
Not really a big deal. When you state your opinions, especially unpopular ones, you should expect others to disagree.
But what happens is: people take it personally, get defensive, and start attacking you.
The only thing that sets the Supernatural fandom apart from any other fandom I’ve been in: (almost) everyone has deluded themselves into thinking it’s some utopia fandom.
If you’re gonna be in this “family”, you’re better off sticking to the cool aunt and two cousins you can actually tolerate in this family get together. Just like any other fandom on this site.
