Supernatural: My go-to guy no matter how badly we're getting along. I have friends who think he treats me badly, I have friends who think he's hella-gorgeous and don't want to hear me complain about how he makes snacks for himself and leaves the kitchen a mess or whatever, but the fact is I'm maybe just a little bit addicted to the attention.
Isn't this the show that its own fans think is misogynist? I mean, weren't you keeping track of all the sexists terms being thrown around by the one guy?
I don't pay nearly enough attention to this show, so I wouldn't know. But from what I do hear this is not the boyfriend who doesn't clean up after himself in the kitchen or leaves the toilet seat up; this is the boyfriend whose girlfriends all violently hate him for calling them broads.
With that in mind, I've often wondered why you and other fans continue to put up with the show. I guess I'm not the friend who thinks it treats you badly; I'm the guy who thinks you think it treats you unforgivably badly.
Extending the metaphor, I guess your gay German soap opera is the George McFly to Supernatural's Biff Tannen.
