Nope. Uh uh. Sorry, that's just not true. I guess it would true if someone meant "I hate slash on principle and always will," but if someone meant "I hate the slash fic that's available to me in all my fandoms" or "I hate non-canon shipping (and 95% of slash IS non-canon)" that does NOT mean "I hate gay pairings in fiction."

For example, I hate most het fic. I am bisexual and can't fucking stand most of the het fic I can find, even for the het couples I ship in canon, because they almost always ring 100% false to me and my experiences. For that matter, most of the het couples in the canons of the shows I like seem like a waste of screentime -- not because the couples are all bad (although a lot of them are), but because I can't stand all the self-obsessed will-they-won't-they USTy misunderstandings and switcheroos canon het couples always come packaged in.

Also, I generally don't like shipping non-canon pairings, so my options for slash pairings are rather limited -- there are only a couple of non-canon slash pairings I ship. There are also a couple of canon gay pairings I ship, but very few people write fic for them because they do not contain the type of characters that attract slashers. If I were really interested in romance, I would probably go "fuck it, lemme ship non-canon" but for me personally, when it comes to fanfic, IDGAF about romance. I am more interested in gen. Most of the popular slash ships? I hate most of the fic I see for it -- so much focus on romance to the detriment of all the stuff I'm way more interested in, and usually with dumb unrealistic tropes to boot, just like het.

What I would really like? I would really just like there to be some nice canon same-sex romantic subplots in my shows so I can have the pleasure of seeing some non-heterosexual couples when I'm watching my show, rather than having to wade into the world of slash and femslash fanfic to get it -- and as I said, I have no interest in slash and femslash because IDGAF about romance-focused fanfic and in all my fandoms, the slash and femslash is all about the romance.

For the aforementioned couple of non-canon slash pairings I ship and which actually have fanfic written about them, I have been able to find just a FEW slash stories that are not focused on the romance and just have the slash pairing as a background couple. Some of these I like, but in the fandoms I'm in and the few pairings I ship, they're VERY few and far between. So really, "I hate slash" DOES pretty much describe my attitude to slash. I don't want to waste my time on fucking romantic fanfic, slash OR het. I want gay and lesbian couples in my CANON where I can enjoy it while I'm watching, and then avoid it when I'm looking for the gen fic I prefer.

BTW, if anyone's reading this, I'd love recs for TV shows that have gay or lesbian characters who have same-sex relationships, but which aren't all about fucking romance. Do they exist?

DA

You protest way too much.

ayrt

Sorry for the tl;dr, but this has been a very long-running frustration of mine, which is why I've got such a lot of ranting piled up.
