Dean & Daphne

Apparently there's a Supernatural / Scooby Doo crossover coming up and people are losing their shit cos Dean has a crush on Daphne.

The Dean Is Gay Argument
Dean is bisexual, OKAY?! You can ship him however you like but the evidence shows he likes men and women. Yes, bisexuality is a thing. I don't know why Americans especially are so dead against it. On Buffy The Vampire Slayer Willow Rosenberg had a long-standing thing for her (male) friend Xander Harris, she had a good relationship with (male) werewolf Oz but as soon as she met Tara it was
Bi erasure much??? You can be in opposite sex relationships only, same sex relationships only and still be bisexual okay?! Yes, of course you can change how you self identify and maybe Willow did feel that she was actually gay rather than bi but honestly...
And ranting of self identification Dean Winchester self identifies as straight. Yes, OBVIOUSLY he's not but no one, Cas and Crowley included, has the right to drag him out of the closet until he's damn well ready. Which could be never; he's allowed to live however he chooses.

The Daphne Is Sixteen Argument
1) She is a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. There is no potential here for child abuse, grooming or statutory rape here.
2) She is a CARTOON CHARACTER...do cartoons even have legal rights???
3) Daphne Blake has been 16 since 1969. Do the maths.
4) Daphne has been portrayed as adult several times; and despite the fact the Scoobies are supposed to be high school juniors are they EVER in school?! Be more concerned about their truancy!
5) Sixteen is legal in a lot of US states - 31 out of 50 if I counted right
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_States) and in the military...there's also an exemption for those MARRIED to people aged 12-15.
6) You're okay shipping Dean with a thousands of years old non-human wearing a dead man's meat suit but y'all have a bitch fit over a supposedly underage cartoon girl??? Americans are nuts.

  1. Further to the point about Americans being appalled about under 18s being dateable, having The Sex etc... Child brides of the 21st century U.S.: https://www.shared.com/child-brides-us/?utm_source=mediabuy&utm_campaign=aco&utm_medium=facebook-mar12mar15-aco
