because I do hate when fans constantly harp on Destial or Wincest to the actors and look to them to validate their ship, just yikes. But this felt like the other extreme to me with an oddly hostile response from the crowd before she had even finished speaking.
I'm sure they get tired of ship questions. Then again, I'm sure they're tired of most questions by now. Lots of questions get repeated over and over and over... But yeah, ship questions that are seeking to somehow 'validate' a ship or a particular view of a character get old fast.
That said, it doesn't seem to be what this question was about. And I do find it horrible the way the crowd itself seemed to turn on the girl. It was a situation that spiraled out of control and was very confusing for everyone. Which of course then led to a bunch of 'JENSEN IS A BASTARD' posts on Tumblr because of all the hearsay going on about him shutting her down, and it doesn't seem to be what happened. If the crowd hadn't reacted the way it had, I doubt there would be any drama at all. In my reading of the situation, they were the catalyst.
It almost seems like it's fine for the writers to joke around with it in a frat-boy kind of a way, but god forbid the audience take any of hints of bisexuality or homosexuality as anything more than something hysterically funny to play around with

Also, this. So much.
