people calling sam heterosexual obviously started watching at 4x01 or they would've seen the sheer amount of times he had nasty gay sex on screen before that.
i don't care if "dean would sexually harass people of any gender" is the route you want to go with bisexual headcanons of him, do whatever you want (but be aware that this is a biphobic stereotype!), but from a media literacy standpoint this is a nightmare conclusion to draw from the beginning of 2x17, even more so if you end up at just "dean loves men" like that post did. you shouldn't take madison's "you get a few scotches in him, and he started hitting on anyone in a five mile radius. you know the type." and deduce that the use of "anyone" equals gender neutrality, equals bisexual dead boss, equals bisexual dean. because that is obviously not what this scene is communicating about dean and his behavior. dean is directly being compared to a drunk flirt who routinely hit on anyone available and who hit on madison specifically so many times she'd come to expect it, because she knows that he persist even after she refuses him, which you can see at the start of the episode. you can't ignore all the negative connotations of that just to validate your own assumptions about dean, it's disingenuous. beyond that the boss was in all likelihood a heterosexual man, the episode gave no indication of him hitting on men, so "anyone" just means anyone in his dating pool, aka women who go to bars. and even if i agreed to play the linguistic gymnastics game on this and assumed the boss also harassed men that still wouldn't make it a dean being bisexual scene. it's still a dean is just like madison's boss who didn't stop flirting after she said no scene.
you see, sam establishing boundaries with dean and parting ways for some time is actually the exact same thing as john abandoning his kids in motel rooms as children. what's more is that telling dean to fuck off for the gadreel situation is actually a direct parallel to john telling sam he should never come back if he went to college. if you really use your brain sam asking his 35 year old brother to leave was just like the boys home situation. obviously

you're hopeless if you can't handle a single post humanizing john or challenging popular fandom perspectives of him or even just gifs involving him without going 'fuck j*hn winchester' 'he's evil' 'this is a john hate blog' like genuinely hopeless. do you need to make a psa every time you talk about him? is he on your dni? did you get a restraining order? you say you love morally grey characters but you can't even handle john winchester.
i hate the [redacted] sam headcanon so much because his relationships build up intensity so quick. he does limit himself when it comes to dating and sex, especially after jess' death, and i do believe it's because sam does not need that much romantic or sexual attention, but he also starts caring for others so fast and has really intimate relationships with people he does like. when you watch heart and realize that within only a few days madison got so close to him and they had so much intimacy and then she trusted him to kill her. when he does let someone in it's like a storm, he just doesn't let it happen that frequently.
