i saw this long response just now, and i can’t reblog it because someone in the thread has (rightly) blocked me. so i gotta reply like this. i just want to thank the people who made these particular responses so thoughtful, dissecting my post rather than just attacking me.
everything said in the responses are things i agree with now. the original post was made senselessly, thoughtlessly, with more thought given to what tinhatting cockles shippers would think of it than literally anything else. i regret pretty much every word of what i wrote, especially the way i said it like it was some kind of fact.
all of it was a skewed interpretation of things i didn’t quite know how to process. i was much younger, much less aware of what i thought i understood. there was a lot of WRONG INFORMATION in there. it’s not opinion, it’s just wrong.
for the record, a huge amount of the reblogs on that post are from people who hate the post and reblogged it to add hate. so not all those notes are shippers.
despite (because of?) the anger i received from people for this post, it actually taught me a lot regarding respect for other people, particularly celebrities. for some reason that little nugget of common sense slipped my mind at the time. i’m very, very sorry for causing so much anger and upset. my apology is to the fandom, who remains family to me, and to Jensen, who remains a stranger to me. but also thank you to those who were angry, for teaching me exactly how i fucked up. hopefully i’ll never make a mistake like this again.
(i don’t expect the reblogs of that post to stop, or the comments to stop, and unfortunately deleting the post would do nothing now. i’mma close my inbox to anons for a while, i know i fucked up, i don’t need to hear it a bunch more times)
(but also please don’t reblog the post without the corrective commentary. also, if you happen to reblog through that link at the top, please also add a link to THIS POST. i can’t do it myself since i’m blocked. thank you, i appreciate it~)
