I am considering (considering) opening a topic for discussion on whether destiel will become canon in the show sometime soon.

What do you think?

"As for intent, Castiel was obviously not intended to be Dean's love interest, no. Anna was..."

Oh, you're right! That definitely does put the Dean and Cas relationship in a slightly different light. And I don't think you're being argumentative at all. (Ditto for me; I hope I'm not coming off as crotchety.)

I often question my own cringing when I stumble across a really strong D/C agenda, to be honest. I'm not squeamish about same-sex relationships AT ALL; I think it has more to do with how some in fandom are behaving. On both sides of the fence.

We see fans trying to repeatedly get the actors to admit to romantic love between the two. It isn't something the actors can confirm or deny, frankly. Misha continues to tease the "profound bond" and Jensen doesn't want to comment. It's really in the writers' lap.

SPN may not be the right vehicle to deeply explore a romance between two men; it hasn't been particularly successful in exploring ANY sort of romance, frankly. Even the heteronormative ones! (Which are similarly shot down by fans.) I'm not sure we can make anyone happy, heh.

This is a very good point --> "As for intent, Castiel was obviously not intended to be Dean's love interest, no. Anna was..." It does put a different slant there. I'm curious, was Anna introduced back when Dawn What'sHerName was still trying to introduce female love interests into the show (i.e., the whole Jo-Bela-Ruby fiasco)? I think one of the Js and perhaps other BTS folks have commented after she left about attempts to introduce that dynamic. (But yet, us fans foiled her again, and went ga-ga over Cas instead.)

I do agree with the rest of your comments. As well.
