Wank. That I should not be posting about. Especially on Vacation. Whatever.

I'm laying out my opinion on SOME of the rape/misogyny wank for once and for all. And I'm pulling out my Yoruichi icon, because she's the most bad-ass chick I know. Spoilers for 6.10.

All good points. Although having a character take her clothes off because the actress is willing to, when other characters don't because the actors aren't, still seems oddly unequal. Because Show should be more about the characters than the actors, so I'd say in that case, the girls could keep their clothes on. The writers can dictate that much.

I'm also not sure that wank equals shock. What I meant was more--how many different ways can they torture people, now that they've gotten them as naked as they can on network tv, and they're pretty much working with just the one knife? Haven't they taken it about as far as they can now? (That isn't rhetorical, although I'm not sure I want to know the answer.)

Meg is extremely cool, though. She's my favorite of the female villians. (Crowley was my favorite male--sob.) But at this point I'm just hanging in to see if Sam and Dean can get back on the same side again and achieve the unity that made the show so much fun in the beginning. Also, I want to see if they'll ever figure out that they're completely misusing the term/concept of Purgatory. If I was active in fandom, beyond reading you and two other LJers, that's what I would be wanking on day and night. :)

Lol, we all have our pet Things We'd Wank About. ;)
