: Misha Collins seems to like slash; slash fans are unhappy about this
Misha Collins (actor who plays Castiel from Supernatural) is known for being supportive of slash and also for being a giant troll. Misha shook up the Supernatural fandom in late October when he told a small group of fans at the Supernatural convention in Chicago that he thought that Dean and Castiel were in love, an opinion he apparently formed without discussing it with anyone on set (!). "It may be unspoken but that doesn’t mean it’s not there," he explained, and when a fan asked why it couldn't just be a bromance, "Misha just shrugged."
Of course Dean/Cas fans were delighted that Misha had apparently joined their ranks, and some went so far as to say that Misha's statement made Dean/Cas canon. Other fans were sure Misha was just fucking with them. It's hard to say with Misha.
Now, a magazine called Gay Calgary recently put up a video interview of Misha Collins taken at the Edmonton Expo, which confusingly took place before the Chicago convention though the interview wasn't released until after. The rag describes the interview as "one of the most bizarre dialogues we’ve ever conducted, but a must see nevertheless," which is pretty standard for Misha's interviews actually. In the relevant part of the interview, the interviewer talks about getting attention from Dean/Cas fans. Misha seems to defend his fans and launches into a succinct explanation of slash fanfic:
