I relate to that feeling of being alienated from a fandom because of how the fanfic writers portray certain characters.

For me, it's usually slashing characters I think are just good friends. Sherlock/John and Vince/Howard from the Mighty Boosh are the two strongest examples. Their fandoms are overwhelmingly based on slashfic between them. I can see why people do it because there's lots of comedy hints given in canon.

What's most confusing is that I don't even understand why I don't like the pairings. It's not like I don't enjoy slashing other characters with far less basis for it, and the first thing I look for in fanfic is the slash.

I give reasons why I don't like these particular couples (eg John's straight, Sherlock's asexual and even if he were gay John wouldn't be his type). But that that doesn't stop me pairing up the same guys in the pairings in even less likely ways (Sherlock/Lestrade for instance) so I'm not even consistent with that.

I suppose we all have our preferences which just can't really be rationally explained. Although the OP's reasoning (it would make that relationship abusive) seems like a good enough reason to me.
