How does a bad, bad show that began airing in the Bush Administration (and it shows), that has a bad history with women and queer characters somehow manage to pull off the Great American Queerbait but also the Greatest Love Story Ever Told? How do one gay angel and one stone-faced overcompensating man leave their lasting legacy of love on this 15-year long hate crime? How can something be gay and homophobic at the same time? That's the type of questions we'll attempt to answer as we make our descent into the ninth circle of Turbo Hell.

This is part one of the Destiel episode because it is a BEAST of a topic. Stay tuned for part two which will be about American democracy, Russian hoaxes, Turbo Hell and the Destiel Renaissance.

Destiel: The Last Great American Queerbait Part I

How does a bad, bad show that began airing in the Bush Administration (and it shows), that has a bad history with women and queer characters somehow manage to pull off the Great American Queerbait but also the Greatest Love Story Ever Told? How and why are Vladimir Putin, Joe Biden, and Bill Clinton somehow roped in? How many times has Destiel gone canon exactly? That's the type of questions we'll attempt to answer as we make our descent into the ninth circle of Turbo Hell.

This is part two of the Destiel episode because it is a BEAST of a topic. Also, don't worry we're all queer. We can say fruity in a reclaimed manner.
