This. Yes. I've been maundering about it over at my journal. Just. What. Y'know?

I don't like it either. Not even a little bit.

You're a horrible person. I read sazz's journal, okay? So, apparently, when you say "castiels" as a verb, I think, "rubbing your cock on a wall."

:( This has not improved my day.

I didn't like it at all. It was uncomfortable and weird and just, unnecessary?

I do feel for everyone who felt uncomfortable -- but in my opinion, and I try to live by it, discomfort is an opportunity for growth ( ... )

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.
