I think fandom is reactive when it comes to shipping questions these days because it may reflect poorly on the fandom at large. Shipping questions are directed at the cast and crew all the time through interviews, cons, twitter, personal interactions and what have you. I imagine it gets tedious. Also, for stuff like Wincest and Destiel where is no actual canonic development, the general feeling seems to be that fanon and canon should stay separate. In other words, don't continue to bring up fanon isssues with the cast and crew, especially when they have already made it clear that they would rather not answer such questions. Lastly, I want to point out that no one in the audience was booing the fact that the girl said she was bisexual. No, the collective groan was because they thought it was leading to territory most people would rather stay clear off. Did they overreact? May be, but we will never know. Was it out of line? I don't think so. I think people are just tired you know?
