It’s been years since the CW’s Supernatural ended. So why is it still such a phenomenon, and why are its fans stuck in a superhell love/hate relationship with it? What is Destiel, and why is its influence so large?

No Supernatural knowledge required.

Have you ever been watching a movie or tv show and seen two characters (most likely cis men) have emotionally intimate, potentially sexually charged interactions, but the show or movie WILL NOT LET THEM KISS and it forces you, the viewer, to yell LET THE BOYS KISS!
