Like Dean killing Amy IS wrong, but the murder itself isn't especially worse than many murders Dean does, even though the entire situation is wrong, and he shouldn't have killed her. Sam killing Emma is like, if someone was about to kill my sister I would also be willing to kill them to stop them, though I'd hope for any other way and hopefully never be in that situation due to lifestyle choices. But like it IS self defense. Even if Sam should not have a license to kill without any other legal body, Emma's death IS tragic, it's better than many of the murders in Supernatural. But also buckleming suck and their s7 episodes aren't real and can't hurt me.

not to get too earnest about an utterly ridiculous season seven motw buckleming episode (and i should probably save my thoughts for my writers rewatch anyway since i'm only one away from it) but the interesting thing to me about emma is that at the end when they try to hand wave it all away with the whole "it's fine, she wasn't really yours" thing, dean pushes back on it!!! like he absolutely could've just been like you know what. you're right. it was just a monster really, not my human kid, so it doesn't count. but the fact that he literally makes a point to be like no, she was actually mine means something!!!

I'm writing an Emma fanfic and I was thinking about some things
Emma as Dean's daughter is such a wasted potential, she's literally one of the best ways to give Dean a kid in a way that doesn't make him totally miserable
Everyone knows that if Dean had a normal human child he would forever feel guilty, because he would feel that he puts his kid's life at risk because he is a hunter, for the enemies he has and it would be even worse if the child chose to follow Dean's footsteps and become a hunter
But with Emma it would be another story. Because she is an Amazon, even if Dean wasn't her father, she would be inserted in the supernatural world, she would be part of it whether or not and being Dean's daughter, she actually has a chance of freedom that being the daughter of a regular man she wouldn't have
If Emma were any other man's daughter, she would kill her father and that's it, she'd be condemned to the life of a common Amazon, eventually having to go after men to get pregnant, have a daughter she couldn't even choose a name and continue the tradition. Amazons don't have free will in the tribe, everything they do is according to the tribe, they do things according to what they're told - from what little we know of them -, but the story changes with Emma. Because her father is Dean Winchester, she would have something that others don't, the chance to choose
Some excerpts from the episode to solidify my thinking:
"[...] I have to kill you. (EMMA)
(DEAN) Is that what they told you?"
"(DEAN) You haven't killed anybody yet, Emma. Walk away. Right now. I won't go after you.
(EMMA) I can't. I don't have a choice."
If Emma had lived, I think Dean would have felt bad and guilty anyway, but at some point he might realize that him being her father didn't condemn her but freed her, made her life better because then she would have free will

Season 7, Episode 13: The Slice Girls
Spooky
Interesting music
That's a weird zoom
Rip that guy
Whoa.
That's just freaky
Dean is snoring 😂
Hey, alcohol is alcohol
They're not most people
Doubt it
You've gone for less
That's fun
Yeah, not really
At least there's a pattern
Awesome!
Dean.
Dean, no
Yeah
That's horrifying
Absolutely not. Dean's not even close to ready for that
Mm, not really
Ew
These are some weird camera angles
He probably learned it from anime
Great music
They're really gonna do that side-by-side? Yikes
I heard that was a hard scene to film on Jensen's part 😂
WOW THE SHOTS
Rip Dean
Really? Dean's too old for a hookup?
Yeah
Something tells me it's not a guy
Poor guy
Uh oh
It's a lead
Really, Dean?
Wow
What were you expecting, Dean?
He sounds actually beat up about it
I know that's supposed to be plot twisty, but I kind of already knew it was coming
That's just sad
That place does not look sterile
Baby Emma Winchester
Yeah...
Okay..?
Dude! Talk about greedy
Hey, that sounds like fun
Come on, dude
Okay then
He's a hack
Yeah
It's a rare occasion
Ooh, bad idea
YIKES
Ouch
That's a shock
Oh, definitely
Buddy, you have no idea
He's got a point
That's suspicious
That's rough
Um. A serial killer?
Yeah!
Yeah...
Why would the autopsy guy know that?
Stakeout time
Not exactly
There's definitely something wrong
He definitely hasn't dodged the bullet yet
Dean's catching on
You mean this happens to you a lot, Dean?
How did they not notice the tail?
He's a hunter, Sam. He'll still have his eyes peeled for anything, and that'll register
Probably more like 7
I'm glad that Dean figured it out
This is concerning
Ew
They don't care
Exactly like Wonder Woman.
This should be ringing bells in your head, Dean
Crap
Oh, you haven't dealt with the Winchesters
Sam.
I actually know a lot of this
Ha! What did Dean say?
Yup
Oh, Dean...
Something tells me Dean wasn't entirely in control there
I'm sorry, Dean
Yikes
And Dean would fit the agenda
What the heck is that supposed to mean, Sam?
That's spooky
What?
He's on edge, stop being rude
This is ridiculous
Aka Amazons
Wow, Sam
Ooh, nice!
There she is
Is that a move, or not?
I can't tell if she actually wants help
I really do feel bad for her
Did she?
She looks serious
He never said that
Touche
Dude.
Yeah no dip
It's the daughters
A little
Crap
Well, you're not much better
That's such a fake prop
Very greek-style blade, though
Double crap
The single pink suitcase among all of the boys' belongings
That's a sucky amount of food, Dean
Please don't
Dang it, Sam
Yeah, well
Doesn't mean much
Exactly
Not necessarily
Are you sure?
It's too late to play that game
I wish they had made better choices
Literally
They've already cleared out
Oh, Dean
And then they totally forgot about it
Oh, that's a fair point
Wasn't she?
Yeah, that's what happens!
It made more sense in his head
Not really
Oh, Dean...
