Dude(s), could you be more gay? - Don't answer that....



...we will!


This isn't fanfiction my lovely folksy people, this is an observation based on 4 seasons of Supernatural, the awesome ass-kicking, ghost-whipping, salt-shooting, wise-cracking TV-show which is currently hanging on for its dear life.

While this is so, the writers of Supernatural - whether intentionally or not - have managed to write Dean Winchester in a way that we can only describe as really, really gay.

Yes we know what you are going to say! Dean likes girls, he likes cars, he likes food, he likes fights, he likes rock music and in general he likes all the manly stuff. Accepted. That is fact.
But does this mean, that people with the tendency of liking manly stuff cannot also like...well, manly stuff in other ways?

Think about it before you scream "nooooooooooooooooooooo" and run to get the saltgun to point it our way! Stop and think for a minute. Isn't it also a fact that guys who overcompensate with all the testosterone laden activities, deep inside of them actually have a weak little girl screaming for those big strong arms or shoulders of another guy to lean on?

The last episode had us question not only Dean's attitude towards Sammy, but also his general attitude towards the male figures in his life. The way Dean bonded with that fake FBI dude who then shared his spit with him to make him his puppet...seriously, for one minute we thought we'd get to see stuff I didn't wanna see there!

And then, a few moments later when the male siren confronted Sam, why did he not bother to wonder for just a brief second at least, just HOW the male siren had infected Dean - we know we would have at least cracked a joke, knife to the throat or not!

And then do you remember how Sammy always used to be the girly one? Oh man have things changed! Now Dean is now the weak and emotional one. Screams like a girl because of a cat (That was scary!) and such things. Finally Sam is gown up to be the man we always knew he'd be some day (yay). Tall and strong, his mind set on his own business. Doing a demon and doing a doc he then doesn't bother to call back. He seems set on his way.

Whilst Dean is craving the bond to his little brother who used to look up to him more than ever before. He seems so desperate even though he just banged an angel and finally worked a strippers job! But none of really seems to cheer him up. Why for example is he not looking to bond with a girl like Sam, one he can share his fears and hopes with? Like any normal guy would or at least should do?
