Purcon Panel: Misha is talking a lot about Destiel and the relationship between fandom and the production right now. Like a super long answer. When he first started he was talking openly about Destiel because he didn't know it was taboo, and when he got told "we don't do this here" he wanted to break the taboo anyways. He also said he was always playfully interested in Destiel but also that he repressed some of his feelings about it at first. When Robert Berens came to him in s15 he was like "we can do that?". He also mentioned how awesome it is that he is now on a show with not just straight white cis men (basically) and that it is normal to have gay or trans characters. Sorry he really gave a lengthy answer but I tried to summarize it as best as I could. He added in the end:
"We could have done more and we could have been more inclusive but I was glad that we made it as far as we did"
