Is nobody else disturbed that the Trickster



(Although apparently other people think he looks like Tarantino or Matthew McConaughey).

*shrugs* Personally I'm more disturbed by the fact that of all the faces we've seen him wear, every single one's a white male. Unless the game show host was the Trickster, but that's hardly a given.

Yes, Supernatural is quite well known for race and genderfail, of which that is one example (out of a seething mass of other examples which collectively amount to a large part of why I don't watch the show).

Then again, it would lack something in brevity if I instead made a post like "I am more dismayed by the pervasive sexism and racism of the entertainment industry - and by other bad things - than by the chance resemblance between two apparently unrelated dudes, which come to think of it, is actually more coincidental than disturbing, and not even that surprising compared to phenomena like microscopic flexible layers of spray-on glass or double-jawed fishes or the Northern Lights. But oh well, there you have it."

Isn't the trickster Gabriel, now? I had this impression, from attempting to read SPN porn.

[torachan]

Yep.

[cimorene]

Yes, but I didn't want to spoil anybody who was half a season behind. He only became Gabriel in November, and if they knew Full House, they should instantly realize.

I'm more amused that he looks like Skip Muck from Tonawanda, NY, but that's just a coincidence of casting.

[cimorene]

Er, who?

You've just made my next rewatch of Band of Brothers so, so much weirder. o.O
