I don't know, I think you could still argue that queer women can fetishize gay men. In a different way than straight people, sure, but.

This occurred to me too. I'm not sure what I think of it and I'd be interested to hear different opinions.

Yeah, but a huge reason we like slash is because we can fucking relate to it. A gay story is a gay story. I don't think that counts as fetishization.

And sometimes straight women who don't fit into societal norms or want to critique or question them can also identify with or explore themes related to the gay experience through stories. Many slash stories are non explicit; it's more complicated than 'porn'

The idea that straight slashers are just objectifying male bodies is simplistic and really rather insulting.

/sits and waits for "cishet women have no problems, shut up and die in a fire"

I don't think you can speak for anyone's reasons for liking slash, gay or otherwise. I'm a lesbian and sure, I like the appeal of gay relationships for obvious reasons. But I'll be frank - it's also very, very physical, and very much about two guys going at it in a way that doesn't really relate to my experience as a lesbian.

Am I ashamed? No, but then, I don't think it's wrong to think something is hot - the important point is knowing the time and place to explore it, and not bringing that into real life.
