It also rubs me the wrong way.

It's the implication that m/m relationships are some kind of training wheels for the real thing. The real thing being m/f.

I think if you're young when you first encounter slash, in a fandom that's mostly slash pairings, you might indeed grow out of it. ie you were never really into it in the first place, it was just the first sexual material you came across.

When I hear people say they've grown out of slash, I assume they're still quite young, or at least immature. Saying you've grown out of something (clothes, music) is something children say when they want to sound grown up.

This was basically my experience back when I was in a fandom with minimal fleshed out male-female dynamics in canon. Back then, most het fics I found on FFnet are mostly a rehash of hetero dynamics in mainstream fiction and the slash fics in contrast focused more on developing the characters.

Yes! It plays into that whole idea that it's "just a phase." And, now that I think about it, it allows people to present themselves a open-minded while still hewing to very conservative social views.

That is very true. The older I get, and the more comfortable I become with myself, the less I feel like I have to distance myself from the things I liked when I was younger. Many of my tastes have changed, but some haven't, and I'm okay with admitting that I still like some things that I was into when I was 15.

I first assumed it meant that slash was training wheels for gen, once you grow out of the naive young-person phase where you have never experienced a real, serious, mature, adult romantic relationship and realize romance is not the end-all be-all of life and shipping is not the end-all be-all of fandom either.

But singling out slash, as opposed to slash/het/femslash/all shipping in general, definitely is weird and whitewashes the fact that het is just as overindulgent and unrealistic and full of dumb tropes as slash is.

Maybe it is a first erotica effect for some people, but those who think everyone will grow out of it are wrong. For some of us, it's a legitimate kink and most kinks don't fade, no matter how old you get.

I'm a straight woman and my sure fire wank fantasy is two guys sexing each other up while I watch. (strike)And give directions.(/strike)

Yeah, no, that sounds like the kind of creepy fetishisation that queer folks don't need.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-24 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. Because enjoying smut for you very own private entertainment is totally the same as telling queer people to go down and fuck in front of you for your amusement. It harms exactly not one single queer person what some woman dreams up in her head for wanktime.

it's the 'and now~ some queers of my own~ (wiggly fingers)' vibe that I'm specifically referring to, but I suspect you know that

Woman's allowed to have fantasies about domming two men from a distance.

and queer people are still allowed to call your creepiness creepy, hth
