But of course the girl's hot, it's not like there are ever ugly girls on TV!
She's been on SPN before, her character is a horrible caricature of a fangirl. The SPN canon has something called the Winchester Gospels: a prophet of God writes their lives as urban fantasy novels, and no one knows that his visions are actually real until things happen. The Winchesters meet Becky, an obsessed Sam fangirl & slasher, who's supposed to be a funny in-joke and a nod towards the SPN fans (I think she's "genuinely" supposed to represent all fangirls instead of just those crazy I Married Snape on the Astral Plane! crazies which would be the truth). I thought's she's embarrassing, but in this episode she seriously crossed the line to mentally unstable, dangerous and insulting.
Yeah, reminds me of when a guy friend of mine said, back in the day, that men couldn't be raped because how could they be unwilling to have sex? Thanks for reducing all men to creatures who cannot control themselves wrt sex!
Right? It's actually horrifying to think about the kind of macho culture that makes men think that they should always, always want sex. And that women can't rape men (or other women), of course, especially if the woman is pretty. There must be something wrong with the guy if he doesn't want to have sex with her!
No, no, he was very much in the "you'll find the right guy (WHO IS NOT ME) eventually, I believe in you!" camp. Not in the "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU" camp. Granted, since there was a demon involved, I wouldn't have expected him to focus on his trauma before killing it. After that? Yeah, a nod towards This Was Seriously Not Okay would've been awesome.
Doesn't help that it was Sam, one of the two main characters, who's about seven feet tall. A guy that big getting molested by a short and pretty girl? Hilarious!

Good thing I never watched the series, then - I don't approve of that sort of humour.
