It's about homophobia in SPN, and why Dean/Cas will never be explorable because of the way the characters are, but, it includes some pretty spot-on stuff about Dean's character in the midst of that, and

I feel, unfortunately, like I can't pick out the subtleties of homophobia, because I've been called homophobic before, and I come from a background where generalized homophobia is pretty acceptable, so I'm still trying to figure out where things cross the line. I do think that it feels homophobic sometimes, but, idk, I always considered that an aspect of Dean's character, rather than a feature of the show, because the jokes and shit come from him, nine times out of ten.

But, yeah, I do see it. I just don't feel confident to tell everyone what degree of homophobia it might be.

It seems to me more like uncomfortableness, like they don't want to be all the way homophobic, but because it is something that comes up in show, they don't know how to deal with it, so they try to just relegate it to jokes and move on. That's kinda my interpretation.

Yeah, you're right.
