Another thought that's not an insta-reaction

Behind a cut, because of spoilers.

Am I the only one who's having issues with Show's humour, lately?

Potty humour aside, I am getting increasingly squicked by the rape jokes. Is it me, or are they getting more... explicit? I mean, there was the "rode hard and put up wet" from earlier seasons, but this last episode just made me wince and CRINGE.

It all just seemed very . . . gratuitous. Like, there was no purpose to half of the episode except to "shock" you. (Dear SPN writers: disgust /= shock. Very little in this episode was either new or surprising.)

Honestly, I think that part of my brain shut down at the "rape shower" thing. It said "oh, this is going to be one of those episodes, and I don't wanna deal with it". I'm pretty sure I started doing something else while watching, which I very seldom do with SPN.
