I think there's a stage in shipping (and yes, I mean all shipping - both het and slash and likely femmeslash as well) where a shipper is eager and will read anything and everything they find, no matter how good or bad the characterisation, stereotyping and tropes. People grow out of that, but I think some people also treat growing out of that as leaving slash behind as well, either feeling that is all slash can be and that liking something apparently so different from their own orientation is somehow wrong.

Me? FTS.

I first got into slash as a young adult, and yes, I went through a stage where I read all but the worst of the worst crap, with piles of moderate crap getting through my filters. Those filters grew more strict, my standards got higher... but I didn't stop reading slash.

Even during the period of time where I didn't read any human slash, I was still reading slash, just slash between male-pronouned robots whose method of sex resembled het sex a bit more. I was merely put off the mechanics of gay sex for a time, but when I moved into a human fandom again I got used to it again.

One thing I do believe I grew out of is my own "No het!" reaction. I was never "Ew het!", I just had a disinterest in it for a long time. During that time in the Transformers fandom, my side reading ended up being het, and I have retained that ever since, finding side reading to my main fandom in places like HP, Sailor Moon and Ranma 1/2 that is almost all het.

Thing is, I agree with the opinions that shipping is more loving characters and how they interact. A lot of the time the characters and relationships tend to be males and how they relate to each other, how they would relate on an intimate emotional level.

If all people are shipping is the porn, I can see how they'd grow out of that. Shipping emotional connections? I find it far harder to see how they "grow out of" that, how they believe that somehow slash makes emotional connections less relevant.
