#they really think dean is some kind of controlling villain AS IF stubborn sammy would Ever do anything he didn't want to do

seeing a post abt how sam's early seasons anger is justified given the circumstances of his life + childhood trauma, and the post itself was fine, but then there's tags / reactions where people (samgirls / deancrits) will apply such a double standard when it comes to dean expressing any form of anger. sam's anger is good and righteous and makes sense given the circumstance, but then they'll look at dean who has also experienced a traumatic childhood + the trauma of parentification + all the trauma from being trapped in a literal horror show + hell trauma / michael possession trauma and think, "oh dean angry? dean yelling and not reacting properly to his compounding trauma? abuser! villain! controlling! bad guy!" like, everything they say to justify sam's anger and reactions to trauma also applies to dean. and why is it always a competition with samgirls / deancrits? sam does not have the monopoly on trauma / autonomy issues!! and if you think so you're really missing the point of this show. it's the trauma and autonomy issues show! it's the fighting for free will show! it's the, people trying to do their best in a world where it is far too easy to do your worst show! they all (dean, cas, sam, jack, etc) grapple with these issues and experience similar traumas. this isn't the trauma olympics show.

#the double standards with zero self-awareness is wild. like. they Really think dean had some kind of authority over sam huh? #they really think dean is some kind of controlling villain AS IF stubborn sammy would Ever do anything he didn't want to do #it's insulting to sam honestly. why do his fans want him to be the most pathetic baby of a character. fanon sam i don't know her #dean often expresses Opinions and Says what he Thinks they should do. sam very often Does Not do those things. #so like. is dean not allowed to express a single thought? is he such a big controlling meanie for disagreeing with sam? #for thinking he knows better? (which he often Does bc sam is very prone to acting impulsively damn the consequence) #anyways. stop acting like it's brother vs brother challenge 2k23. like what are you chuck? #vic.txt
