SPN thought

Something I just noticed: Tricksters target the high and the mighty—the privileged, one might say. And the Trickster can take any appearance he damn well pleases.

So why, in all three of the human shapes we've seen him in, is he appearing as someone with white privilege, male privilege, ableist privilege, and (as far as I can tell) heterosexual privilege and cisgender privilege?

Dammit, show.

Simple: Ease of targetting.

People trust people like themselves more than "the other".
