I'm not that familiar with tumblr fandom, but what I've seen so far is a mixture of people saying that the actors always get asked questions like that and it's always awkward and unwelcome, so she should have known better. There have also been accusations of Jensen having a homphobic response to the question, so yeah it's kind of mixed from what I can tell. But that's a very small sample of course, because I no more than glance at comments in a post for tumblr (discussions there confuse me!)
What bothered me most was she was sharing about her sexuality and I think the actors should have respected that and validated that.
I was disappointed that neither actor said anything about "c'mon there's no need to boo her guys", but then it's possible that they just had a kneejerk reaction to great, yet another one of those awkward shipping questions. They have taken part in a LOT of cons and,from what I hear, Jensen always shuts down questions about subtext with one slash ship in particular, but people still keep asking about it and some have no sense of boundries, so that probably played into their response as well
