Re: 27
27. Firstly, she had to have know that this was going to garner some unpopular opinions. Secondly, I'm not seeing anyone really being harsh about it. No one's telling her to go off and die somewhere and how they hate her. Her argument is kind of redundant and stupid and I used to not like slash either years ago and I dealt with it ... and I was fifteen and handled it with more grace. Thirdly, this is
fandomsecrets. What type of response do you think she was expecting when everytime the het vs slash debate comes up this is how people respond because it's a pointless debate. I don't like certain fandoms, but I don't make a habit out of complaining about how they're ruining everything because I have to sift through ten million pieces of Kingdom Hearts fanart before finding something I personally like.
If you don't like slash then just skip over it. I don't like certain pairings. I just skip them. Yes, it would be all lovely if I could actually find stuff that I liked more often, but that's fandom. As for yaoi and slash ruining fandom, I think in some respects it has elevated it above the realm of Mary Sues. Het rarely involves good canon relationships and themes because so many fangirls already hate the female characters regardless of the fact that they create their own OC. Even gen fics are plagued by this.
It should be noted that I prefer het. I like my canon relationships and my absolute favourite fandom and ship is het. I like yaoi, as well. And yuri. For me it doesn't matter. Now I respect the fact that someone doesn't like yaoi, I know that it doesn't appeal to some people nor do they understand it, however claiming that it's ruining fandom because it's not supplying what you want is a load of bullshit.
