I love femslash, and am a heterosexual male.

And I know that makes me inherently skeevy in some peoples' eyes, and that the fact that I exist makes the whole category of femslash problematic for some people, and I'm sorry about that. I am sorry that many male femslash fans are awful douches and that a lot of dudes who write femslash are spectacularly bad at it. I feel like I'm mostly OK at recognizing and avoiding things that are objectifying or shitty, and I think one of the main appealing things to me about femslash fandom is that it is better at avoiding a lot of the really bad + dumb + skeevy tropes of f/f stuff that's oriented towards a male audience. I know it'll probably still bother people anyway.

But I do fucking love femslash, really hard, and I am not going to stop.

I mean, yes, I think my feelings about femslash are pretty much analogous to het women enjoying slash. But I think people mostly are cool with it on that end by now, whereas the femslash thing seems to still be regarded as problematic in some areas. Which, I get why that is. It's just a bit frustrating.

You're fine, and don't need to stop. As long as you don't rave about the hotness of lesbianism irl, or whatever. The bad reputation is there for a reason (I say this as a lesbian) but at the root of it, there's really no difference between you and a straight woman who likes yaoi. Like what you like, just have some decency irl - and be sensitive to LGBT issues and such, and you're fine.

Amen to this. Rock on with your cock on, OP, just so long as you treat other people with respect and sensitivity.
