Don't get me wrong, I'm not in any way ashamed of/made uncomfortable by the exposure of fandom. I was okay with everything up to the wincest shout out!
For me, the way that was/we were presented crossed the line between affectionate mocking and inviting the outside world to look in at the freakshow. I don't have an embarrassment squick, I have a DEFENSIVE LOVE OF FANDOM. I hate it when people judge/laugh at fandom activity, and whilst I think Kripke more than has the right to laugh at us, considering how much we torment him, the rest of the world doesn't. Especially not based on an out-of-context, exaggerated, mocking glimpse of what fandom really means.
I don't see your comment as wanky, but I still don't like this aspect of the episode and I don't want to.
