Agreed - bottom =/= girl. It's the OOC non-manliness that bugs me most, not the who-is-being-penetrated. Not that the characters have to be super manly, but they have to be *themselves*.
And I just don't *get* the idea that he's really totally gay and oh so very pretty and always a subby bottom and all those awful stereotypes about what gay men are like. Jensen is NOT a twink. Certainly not anymore. He may have a deep inner life and be a delicate emotional being on the inside, but on the surface he comes across as being a fairly manly man, playing sports, drinking beer, dating girls, and not doing or being anything remotely effeminate.
(Not that there's anything wrong with being "feminine" but that's a whole other rant.)
Anyway. Maybe it's the OOC-ness I'm just getting so aggravated by. I *like* emotional men - I married one. But Jensen doesn't seem to wear his heart on his sleeve and I'm sick of reading fics where he does.
Also - it's that power push, both from his partner and from him, that I like the most. Which is probably why I like him more with Jeff. = I really need to get off my ass and write that little naughty ficlet I started in Toronto about Jeff and Jensen and the dog leash.
