so i've heard a bunch about some girl getting boo'd at a con after she asked if dean was bisexual and Jensen made her cry or something like that??? can you explain because i have no idea and if you could include some kind of source? that would be amazing, the whole situation kinda' makes me sad bc jensen is my fave :/ Love you blog <3
This story has kinda’ been twisted a lot throughout the fandom, I’ve noticed.
Now, it’s probably great to hear directly from the source so this is the link to what actually happened exactly from the person it happened to.
I’ll just give a brief summary of what happened from her words in case you don’t feel like reading it, although I highly recommend that you do.
The con this took place at, was NJCon. Now, the ‘Mystery Girl’ actually had a really intelligent and thought out question to ask. The question was:
“I’ve loved seeing Dean’s character become more comfortable with himself this season. As a bisexual {this is the part where everyone went ape-shit and she didn’t get to finish}, I’ve noticed some possible subtext, as seen in ‘Everybody Hates Hitler’ that Dean might be coming to accept himself as something other than straight too? I know you’ve said you know Dean better than anyone, so, in your professional opinion, as the preeminent scholar on Dean Winchester, if you see that as a valid interpretation of what’s going on with the character this season.
The questions fans were going to ask were actually screened before the con and they only got one question per person. Her question passed the screening, so basically, she should have been fine.
What really bugs me, is that as soon as she said the word ‘bisexual’ everyone in the audience groaned….Like, they actually were that freakin’ rude about her stating her sexuality, wtf? She then tried to continue but as soon as she got to the word ‘subtext’ everyone started booing and shouting things at her. Then Clif stepped out and asked her, “Are you really going to ask this question?” to which she tried to explain to Clif really quick what she was getting at with her question (which was really about Dean’s development as a character) all the while the crowd is still going A-wall. So, Clif then says, “Don’t ask that. Please, Just thank them and go.”
Now, she says that he didn’t say it in an angry way or anything, so she holds no hostility towards Clif because he was just doing his job. She then asked Clif, since it was obvious she wasn’t going to ask her question, to tell Jared and Jensen that she meant no disrespect and then said into the microphone, “I meant no disrespect at all, thank you so much.” Apparently, Jensen was incredibly confused and said, “I still don’t know what the question was….” and such.
So, apparently, Jensen wasn’t even talking to her during this, she says that he was merely trying to keep the crowd engaged whilst she relayed her question to Clif.
She states that she is not angry at Clif nor Jared or Jensen, but annoyed with the crowd (as she should be) because the minute she said her sexuality they groaned. She points out that the end result of the question was just supposed to be Jensen going in depth about his characterization of Dean.
So, yeah. That’s about it. She also said that she’s not as irritated about that situation as she is about the fact that nobody could stop focusing on that one moment in particular instead of how great the con was in general.
I don’t see why that question would have been such a big deal? Or anything dealing with queer relations like, wow. I can see why shipping questions wouldn’t be allowed, but she was literally just asking about Dean’s character,like, I cannot believe people could be so rude as to actually boo her for that.
Anyways, yeah that’s it.
