I suspect some of the people who are squealing over the engagement are doing it less because they care about them being happy, and more to distance themselves from the haters. They see it as a way to show that they're better fans, because they're able to feel happy for him. It's less about Jensen, and more about improving their status in the fandom.
As much as I love SPN, I couldn't give a toss about Jared and Jensen's personal lives. They're actors in a show I watch, not personal friends. If they get engaged/married/have children, it's no concern of mine. It's not like they were going to ever date me. (Not that I'd want them, but Misha... maybe.)
People are taking Becky as a serious representation of SPN fans??? The fandom is more weird than I thought! She's supposed to be over the top. It's parody, why don't people treat it like that and have a good laugh at it? SPN fandom takes everything too seriously. I'm glad I stay on the outskirts. It's bad enough that half the fandom hates my favorite character.
