Screencaps used from and Įpisode 4x01 (Lazarus Rising): Written by Eric Kripke Any comments that begin along the lines of “You’re wrong, this isn’t rape, see, he likes it blah blah blah…” will be either mercilessly ridiculed or outright ignored. If there is any relevant meta you think I should link to, let me know and I’ll give credit where it is due. Take note that I am only one person, and if you feel I’ve missed an example along the way, please let me know! If you think I’ve mislabeled an example, I might even be willing to discuss it. It’s become a very alarming trend these last few years, and it’s my hope that this list will open up a dialogue on the complexities of consent and sexual assault, and Supernatural’s consistently clumsy handling of it. This has led to many polarizing opinions in fandom regarding what is and isn’t sexual assault, mostly because people in general aren’t taught that sexual assault is more than just forced male-on-female rape. Rather, the point I’m trying to make is that the real problem lies in Supernatural’s historically poor showing of properly acknowledging the act as sexual assault or showing consequences for the act, playing it off for laughs, or trampling over consent issues. The purpose of this list is not to hysterically scream “ Rape apologist!” at every episode or call Supernatural the Worst Show Ever, as many of these examples are either relatively mild in the grand scheme of things or contain tropes commonly found in the horror genre. Will be especially critical of scenes where sexual assault/rape occurs but is waved away/downplayed by the main text. Will not be friendly to particular ships (as they are presented in canon, not in fanon) or certain characters (even characters I actually like) or, occasionally, popular fandom opinions. In other words, it’s gonna be a very broad list. Some examples may be metaphorical, a stand-in for when the writers forgo depicting actual sexual assault, while others will represent a gray area that comes with involving supernatural elements (i.e. It’s harmless fun with facts! Curious about the total breakdown by Episode? We’d be remiss if we didn’t have all the details.This is a comprehensive list of every example of sexual assault I could find in canon through all twelve seasons, whether carried out, implied, or threatened, physical or verbal. So you see, we’re just sharing simple statistics on the number of times Sam and Dean have been tied up and forced to take it. Eek, not that either, I mean… how about some pictures to explain my point? ![]() No, no, not have their way, I’m talking about making sure Sam and Dean can’t fight back when bad things are done to them. Um, I mean, tie them down real tight so they can’t get away, and then have their way with them. There are plenty of bad guys out there with some ropes or cuffs handy that jump on the chance to bind them and show them who’s in charge. If there is one true occupational hazard with Sam and Dean Winchester, it’s that they have this knack for always finding trouble. Please forgive me and my very evil mind.Įvery one in a while, we like to get crazy here at the Winchester Family Business and overanalyze certain statistical trends. Warning, it might trigger feelings of naughtiness, perversion, or perhaps the need for a cold shower afterward. After sharing the MTV Geek – Supernatural By Numbers article, Det_Coverdale wondered if anyone out there had compiled stats on how many times Sam and Dean had been bound by captors, or each other! When the answer was no, Det_Coverdale went to work and came up with the whole detailed breakdown by episode and season! Here’s my quirky little way of presenting such…statistics.
