It was a terrible thing to do to anyone, whatever they had done, and the oral sex thing is hideously misogynistic as well as inappropriate for a family show.
Mainly, though, it showed that the author thought fans are stupid. We're a lot of things, but stupid we are not. Look at the difference between the affectionate portrayal of fandom in Galaxy Quest and the one here (and, incidentally, in The Big Bang Theory which is also misogynistic and which I cannot watch.) I got the impression the author despised fandom and was glad to be free of it.
