I am drawing hearts around your last paragraph, jsyk. I'm going to save it somewhere as a friendly reminder to myself of why Supernatural is full of shit.

What I hate is the leap from your logic to "there's nothing wrong with asking Jeff for Sterek because queer representation" that gets made by the most vocal tumblr users. It's frustrating because I agree with them on several points - many of which you've written here. I am not ashamed of shipping slash and I get frustrated with portrayals of sexuality onscreen, but I don't think those things need to intersect, and I think the message is severely compromised when they do.
As i said in another comment around here, if you're going to argue for your slash ships the same way you would for a het ship, fine. If you're going to bug a creator about how their writing doesn't acknowledge the experiences of many people who don't fit neatly into boxes labeled gay/straight or man/woman, please do. But I don't blame creators for being confused and skeptical when you combine the two, particularly when (Teen Wolf) it seems like you didn't even watch their show.
It's fine to fix and change things about a show in fandom, but that has nothing to do with canon.

Anyway, your comment was so good I wanted to work out my thoughts on it. I hope I make sense. I agree 10000% with what you said about subtext. Anyone who mocks deancas shippers is an asshole- it's written into the show.
