Self-righteous people are the same everywhere, I guess, no matter what they are self righteous about.

Can we talk about how a seriously concerning number of people are drawn to social justice not out of the goodness of their hearts but because there are prevalent circles within the social justice community that actively reward and encourage behavior that is nearly indiscernible from bullying and harassment with reassurance that it's the 'right and just' kind?

2 questions for you:

1. What is all the drama going on Twitter about entitled fans? Can you explain, I am so lost! What have the “fans” done to other fans? I saw some other stuff about inappropriate photo op requests? What is going on?

2. What is destiel con?

Also just wanted to say I’m happy you had a fun weekend at the con! Thanks for updating on Twitter. It was much appreciated

So there's a group of 4 Jai, Val, Rose, and Robin, which I'll call the Mean Girls because they act like the characters from the movie. They were part of this group called SHAC, which stands for Spotted Hound Art Club. It's Val’s discord server/club that you gain access to through her patreon.

There's a bunch of tweets on the issue here: link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link.

But basically, the Mean Girls had group chats and discords where they would abuse and bully various people in the fandom. They would go after people who weren't in their clique, but if you got on the bad side of the clique, then you would be bullied relentlessly. Lots of people are sharing stories of being harassed, doxxed, accused of various isms, etc.

One of the rules for being part of their club was that you had to hate Jared or pretend to hate Jared. They drove a lot of the hate towards Jared. They asked people to fake death threats from Jared fans so that they could frame Jared fans for bad behavior.

The Mean Girls were responsible for Misha having to come out as straight. They've caused a lot of toxicity in this fandom.

Apparently they have such a high opinion of themselves, but they make people pay to have one-on-one conversations???

It sounds like they were basically the Destiel Shadow Council 2.0. Kind of crazy that there's been two versions of that group in the fandom in less than 5 years, but I guess there's a really toxic undercurrent in the Destiel fandom.

Apparently they would love bomb and go after young, impressionable fans.

People who used to suck up to Jaistiel are now saying that there were inappropriate photo op requests.

Destiel Con aka A More Profound Con was a free, online convention that was started by fans, for fans, and was destroyed when Val & the Mean Girls threw a shit fit and claimed ableism, which Val apparently loves to do in order to play the victim and get special treatment. It turned into a community event full of love into fighting and mud slinging.

BTW, I saw Jaistiel at the con and they looked very sad and lonely. They were almost always by themselves and on their phone off to the side. Even during karaoke. They are sad, lonely people who have to bully others to have any sense of power.

“With Dean Winchester, Ackles uses every part of himself, anger, humor, tenderness, thought, sexuality, frustration – you name it – he’s a kaleidoscope – all filtered through this specific character – and not once does it seem like he’s pushing. Everything is at his fingertips, it’s all natural, it flows. This is what I mean when I connect him to the John Wayne-Gary Cooper brigade, with a little Cary Grant thrown in, a little Brigitte Bardot there for seasoning. Or Theda Bara. Ackles has a Vamp in him, which he was able to use - to often comedic but sometimes destabilizing fascinating effect - in the role. He vamped organically. He’d turn it into a joke, but that was only because he couldn’t help himself. He gravitated towards the Vamp. (This is connected to the Burlesque aspect of Dean Winchester: how he “plays” himself.)

“And just to make sure we don’t get too comfortable, the Vamp has some FEELINGS about other people NOTICING the Vamp-ness. He’s not sure he likes it. But maybe he likes it. He’s confused! Dean is not entirely in control of what he’s putting out there. He tries to maintain control. He fails. Repeatedly.

“Ackles never got sick of exploring this contradiction. He was able to show it as funny, but also as a trap, he was able to show how Dean used it, but then regretted using it. It’s amazing.”
