I could say that they're mocking us. I could say that they're making fun of how much we love and slave over this show.
But I don't think that's what they're trying to tell us.
This times 100. I've seen a few things already, both on my own lj and on my flist, about some people feeling insulted by the treatment of fans and fanfic in the episode but I don't see it that way at all. I think, if anything, Kripke and the writers and saying that they totally understand and are actually right there with us in our devotion to the story. Yeah, the Sam-girls and Dean-girls thing and the reference to slash were played for laughs but not in a mocking way. To me it felt more like an in-joke between people who share the same perspective.
