i dont understand at all how one can watch the finale of s2 of spn, where azazel subjects sam to viewing his own mothers death up close and intimate, whilst also using charged language ("sammy, you're my favorite" "she walked in on us" "better than mothers milk" and sam's "what are you doing to me?") and not feel this like, deep, visceral disgust. azazel is such a good villain. i do not even think any of his abuse was explicitly sexual the way lucifer's toward sam was--there is no denying lucifer raped sam, but i wouldn't say azazel sexually abused sam.
but the language used is so, synchronous, deliberate, intentional? to me. azazel speaks like a groomer. validating sam as his favorite and special. obsessively seeking him out for years. monitoring his life and childhood, intentionally creating plants that broach into his personal life (brady being his "demon lover", jess being introduced to him through brady and thus azazel, plus the implication demons have been observing sam his entire life given lucifer's speech about it), and, again, the language he uses about inoculating baby sam with his blood, it's so very analogous to what its like to go through grooming as a child by an older adult, especially if you were so young you forgot or repressed it.
what really seals that deal to me is that claim sam makes that he's always felt dirty, filthy, and unclean. sexual abuse on a young person can manifest traumatically and invisibly like that--a feeling of something being wrong you cannot place (somewhat similar to gender dysphoria actually) stemming from the trauma inflicted upon that person is not uncommon.
anyway. my point is. while lucifer is sam's rapist, azazel is the one who paved the road for him, and happily. sam's autonomy has been denied since before he was even born, and frankly, mary facilitated it too despite the unfairness of the deal she was backed into. she still made it.
