I've never watched a single episode of this show. So I don't have a dog in this fight in any way.
It's so hard to comment on one minute of video. Not sure what came before or after. Don't know the fandom. Don't know the general fannish conversation about this show. Have read some RPF and watched vids of this show, but that's it.
I think her question was a fair question. She should have continued asking it. The crowd was rude to her and the con runners and the actors didn't help her out. But if you're going to ask it, ask it.
I think people got very uncomfortable as they do sometimes when it comes to bisexuality and homosexuality. Obviously, there is something in the subtext of the show or fannish conversation that prompted such a response. But whatever, she had a right to ask it whether people are uncomfortable or not. What bothered me most was she was sharing about her sexuality and I think the actors should have respected that and validated that.
It's a tough question. Fair, but hard if you are walking a line on the show and well, don't want to answer it!
Personally, I hate being the first comment or question. If I'm going to ask something difficult, I wait and feel out the crowd and let the people answering get a bit warmed up first. But one doesn't have to do that. That's just my preference.
Not all con runners or actors are particularly graceful. Again, they could have really helped that fan out, but they didn't. It's disappointing. So it's on Tumblr. What are fans of SPN thinking? Thinking the actors were wrong or she was wrong to ask or that it was just a unfortunately incident handled badly?
