Another thought that's not an insta-reaction

Behind a cut, because of spoilers.

Am I the only one who's having issues with Show's humour, lately?

Potty humour aside, I am getting increasingly squicked by the rape jokes. Is it me, or are they getting more... explicit? I mean, there was the "rode hard and put up wet" from earlier seasons, but this last episode just made me wince and CRINGE.

There have been A LOT of rape jokes this season, almost all of them made by, or at the expense of, Dean. IDK, it does squick me quite a bit.

Seriously, I am WAY uncomfortable. WTF, Sera? She was the one who went ON and ON about the whole consent issue with Ruby. How does she not see this?

It kind of makes me think she DOES read a lot of fanfic, because Dean being the victim of sexually uncomfortable/dubiously consensual/outright rapey situations has been a staple of fanfic for a long time. It's just not one of those fandom tropes I was ever hoping would become canon, you know?
