In the [https://twitter.com/CharCubed/status/1331475040018325506 Latin American dub] of this episode, Castiel uses the specifically romantic version of "I love you," with -- "Te amo." Fans were shocked to hear Dean respond, "Yo a ti, Cas," which is the romantic version of "Me too, Cas" though the English subtitles remained, "Don't do this, Cas." The episode is also titled "La Verdad" (The Truth), not "Despair." In the fan uproar to this revelation, Tumblr was overloaded and briefly went down while #TheySilencedYou trended #1 on Twitter in the U.S. as fans encouraged each other to boycott The CW for presumed censorship of the English version of the show, while "YO A TI CAS" and "DEANCAS" trended internationally.

In subsequent tweets, Misha [https://twitter.com/mishacollins/status/1331825062060515329 apologized] "about how tone-deaf my video is" and responded directly to comments from LGBTQ+ fans who felt unheard. Fans continued to propose various conspiracy theories that either the line was in an earlier version of the script, that it was in the filmed version of the script but edited out (based on the fact that Jensen had said he recorded the whole scene on his phone and a lot was cut out), or even that it was added later in ADR and then edited out (as Jensen had said he'd done ADR for this scene). An anonymous crew member posted [http://supernaturalwiki.com/File:1518s1.png photos] of the [http://supernaturalwiki.com/File:1518s2.png script] confirming it read "Dean can't reciprocate."
