highlights (alt text on image):
("gage" refers to "cyle gage". yes, @/cyle, lol)
key takeaways for us Posters:
they are taking data from as far back as 2014
they are operating off of the honor code, that ai companies will comply with tumblr user requests to have their data deleted from their databases. LMAO. i say "honor code" because "will notify", "advocate for", and "believe" are not words people use when discussing something they have legally mandated in like, a contract
if this content id issue is not fully + securely resolved:
your private posts and asks may be sold
your posts from deleted/suspended blogs may be sold
your explicit posts may be sold
how to opt out of ai data collection via tumblr settings. not sure what good this will do if your data was already picked up, perhaps in the collection discussed in these convos, but it's better than nothing!
Personally a big believer that dean never formally comes out, not because of internalized homophobia or anything, but because he just assumes everyone can tell. Like he thinks it would be an insult to their intelligence to inform someone that he's attracted to men
character who never appeared in cw’s supernatural: abel, the brother of cain (who was a character on the show meant to mirror dean) and the other main character in biblical cain’s story, literally cain’s entire story in the bible is about how he murdered his brother and they never even casted anyone to play him
character who did appear in cw’s supernatural: colette, the oc wife of cain (yes thee biblical cain of “cain that dude who murders his brother”) who only exists so that they can mirror cain’s relationship with colette to dean’s relationship with cas (heterosexually of course)
i know s1e2 has a lot of issues (racism) but we also get such peak Dean Studies here (which is also actually so funny bc this show was still trying to be about sam??? lmao anyway) first we get sam trying to convince dean they should make haley stay home while they search and dean says “her brother is missing, you really think she’s gonna sit this one out?” and THEN sam says the iconic “finding dad isn’t enough, now we gotta babysit too?” and dean just gives him that Look. “what?” sam says. and deans like. “…(fucking) Nothing.” hell of a dean study
