→You do realize they're brothers?
And it wasn't only fangirls who noticed the dynamic. [http://www.nathanexposed.com/blog/2005/11/supernatural-is-supergay.html Gay blogger Nathan Exposed] wrote in November 2005 "It’s like the Hardy Boys, only gayer. The cheese factor is no surprise. This is the WB, after all. But I love the awkward sexual tension between the brothers."
In December 2006 Sera Gamble admitted to teasing Eric Kripke by referring to the story the writers were telling as [[The Epic Love Story of Sam and Dean]], a phrase later used by Eric Kripke himself in the [[Season 5 DVD]] commentary to [[5.04 The End]].
Obviously pairing Sam and Dean in a sexual relationship is something does not appeal to all fans, and some are strongly opposed to it. On In the early days of the fandom particularly on [[Livejournal]], which was then the centre of the fandom for writing, art and vidding, Wincest and non-Wincest fans have generally co-existed peacefully in the fandom and there has been very was little [[wank]].

Due to the fact that there are so few recurring characters on the Show available as potential partners for Sam and Dean in fanfiction, [[slash]] fans who were uncomfortable with Wincest moved into writing and reading [[Jsquared]] fic, many of whom would previously have avoided [[RPF|RPS]] fandoms. This lead to the phrase "Supernatural fandom - where RPS is the moral high ground"!
