(Anonymous) 2014-05-23 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)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.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-24 12:17 am (UTC)(link)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.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-24 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah, no, that sounds like the kind of creepy fetishisation that queer folks don't need.
