I don't share the hate that sprung up from the lack of a dominant ship coming from this episode, but I do understand the hurt feelings that people have over the way they feel Dan portrayed them.

The people (Nerds) in the audience were clearly meant to be stand ins for the people who have communicated to Dan about the ships on his blog (not individually, but as a group). They're the ones who came up with the compound names, post "proof" pictures showing the characters brushing shoulders or whatever, they're the ones that yell "Creddie/Seddie for the win!," just like the people in the audience. He had one of the "cool" characters say that these audience nerds had no lives to worry about, basically calling them pathetic. I can see where that might hurt the feelings of someone who loves the show.
