16. Uhhh, actually?



Seriously. No. Lack of het and gen in fandom? Is not the fault of the yaoi fans. Yaoi fans should not be obligated to write (or like) het and gen. You like het and gen? WRITE SOME, instead of bitching about the yaoi fangirls for liking what they like. They're not ZOMG OPPRESHING het and gen, or stifling it, or what the hell ever. Also, you being lumped in with yaoi fans for liking the series is the fault of the people making the assumptions, not the yaoi fans.

Now, I will fully agree with you that bashing of characters because they're female or not hot sucks; badfic and OOCness and canon rape sucks; people bashing other ships, or claiming that their non-canon ships are canon, sucks. But guess what? YOU GET THAT IN EVERY SINGLE FANDOM. You get it in Bleach fandom, which is overrun with het. Why does nobody bitch about 'all these goddamn het fans have ruined my fandom!'?

And okay, you have scroll past 'pages' of yaoi ships that you 'squick' you or whatever. Well, honestly, boo-hoo =/ That's just how fandom is.

As your secret is, it comes across like you're bashing the fans for liking yaoi, rather than just for being immature/obnoxious. There's no correlation between liking yaoi and ruining fandom, sorry.

Applause.

Sexcellent.

Yes! Hear, hear!

*claps* You articulated what I probably could not. That's my exact opinion.

Ugh, thanks so much for this. It's like every other fucking secret post these days has some jackass going OMG YAOI IS RUINING FANDOM.

Clearly you haven't been clued into the fact that yaoi fangirls are oppressing everybody else and forcing them to slave in their coal mines and beating them mercilessly with yaoi paddles if they falter.

Clearly.

Clearly

...so that's what those are used for!

No one tells me anything >_>

Participation is key. People don't tend to write if they don't think they'll get a response when it comes to fandom. We can try to be selfless and say that's not true, but who doesn't like seeing comments on things they've written? Toiling over something for it to just languish is depressing.

So yes, I would say, write it if you can write and you want to see it. Other people will see that you support it and write some too. Comment on their stuff, encourage them, things will blossom. It's easy to plant the seed.
