feel free to ignore, just kinda venting because you’re one of the few openly ace-friendly spn blogs I can think of. anyways getting real damn tired of seeing posts going around where people make fun of misha for being ace inclusive in the way he talks about cas. like. I so badly want to be happy that he’s being inclusive and thinking about people like me, but instead I just feel deeply embarrassed about it since so many people treat it like a joke or like it’s taking away from them somehow. I can’t even think of another actor who has ever positively acknowledged ace fans so it sucks that the one time it happens, and coming from a person I’m actively a fan of, it gets mocked.
Yes, i absolutely get that and i can relate. Even though i'm ace myself ive never actually hc-ed cas as ace, but i see it as a possibility and i like consuming content that explores this.
I was so positively surprised to hear misha be vocally supportive, even though i think he maybe got some things mixed up. I think he said something like "i hope ace fans who saw themselves in cas arent disappointed" after the confession, which confused me a bit, bc as far as i could tell the confession didnt make ace cas impossible. Unless i missed obvious sexual undertones, he could still very much be gay and ace, but im guessing that was mishas own interpretation showing through. Which doesnt devalue his support for ace cas to me at all. Also misha is deathly afraid of disappointing his fans, especially queer fans, so it makes sense that hes supportive of many interpretations. Still, some jokes about bullying him for being very inclusive rub me the wrong way. Especially when people jokingly compare him being supportive of ace cas to getting him to admit hes supportive of cas having, idk, a foot fetish or something. As if supporting ace rep were something outlandish and embarrassing lol.
But im by far not the only ace positive spn blogger! I have a comically low tolerance towards anti ace bullshittery, its usually a one and done thing. If i see some 2016-esque ace exclusion discourse on my dash i immediately unfollow the person who put it there and if i see ace people being used as a butt of a joke im like "nah i dont really need to deal with that in my free time", so my dash is very very curated. I'm selfadmittedly overly sensitive to this stuff so if i tell you that many spn bloggers are ace positive or at least neutral, then you can take my word for it.
Also its very very easy to find out who has exhausting opinions, they usually proudly announce themselves.
