It happens in slash fic as well. I wasn't trying to imply otherwise. But the point I was hoping to convey was more related to the issue of fetishization and how ,while that can definitely be seen as exploitative, is it really worse than using a character as an empty vessel? Mainly, I brought it up because fetishization is a charge often leveled at slash shippers and, while I do think it's true for a segment of the group, I don't think it's representative of anything inherently wrong with slash shippers or slash shipping in general.

The OP wasn't necessarily making this argument, but I've seen others say, for instance, that slash shipping pushes aside a canon female interest in order to fetishize hot men. And while that's true for some, I think the attitude behind the sentiment is problematic in and of itself. If one is "ignoring" the female love interest by shipping two hot guys, why is that worse than het shippers who basically just use the female character as an empty vessel because they find the male love interest attractive? I think of it as "Bella Swaning" female characters and, quite honestly, I find it just as problematic as ignoring or demonizing a canon female love interest.

Either way, you're destroying a female character.
