I can see why you'd feel hurt by the jokes, especially since they're coming from the very thing you've enjoyed and devoted yourself to. It's like you took up an instrument and it came to life to tell you you're a nerd and you'll never get laid. But I can also see it from (what I imagine is) their point of view. I remember when I first watched an interview with Jared and Jensen, I was overwhelmed by the sense of how... utterly ordinary they seemed. I don't mean that as an insult to them or to fandom, just... to me they seemed like caricatures of what you'd imagine "normal" to be. Meaning I thought that maybe they'd have a harder time than most coming to terms with fandom, not to mention SPN fandom in all its majesty. I imagine it's possible that at times they've felt hounded, felt unsafe, and felt put on a pedestal they don't deserve. They seem like really decent guys, so I don't think they'd want to be worshipped. I can see them being uncomfortable, and this being a way to try to deal with that, not as a stab against anyone. *shrug* But that's just what I imagine when I watch those episodes. I don't think Becky is meant to represent every SPN fan ever, just an example of an extreme, which does exist.

)AND, until the most recent episode, Becky was portrayed fairly positively, too. They found Becky off-putting, true, but she's also a big part of why they ended the Apocalypse (she's the reason they found Crowley and got the Colt. Even though the gun didn't work on the devil, in the bad future they were still looking for it to shoot the devil with, and without Crowley they'd have never found Death.)

Basically, her character said "Sometimes some of you scare us, but ultimately we love you" to the fandom.
