08) He's my favorite character from the series as well.

26) I'll rise to the trollery: No no no, dude the analogy doesn't hold up. We hate people who write slash but are homophobes, not because they write slash, but because they are homophobes. We'd hate them just as much if they didn't write slash. In fact, I'd much rather these people hate slash and embrace homosexuality as a healthy, normal sexual orientation, because what you do in RL trumps whatever the hell you write in fiction every single time. Fiction? Whether it be rapefic, or slash, or whatever the hell, ultimately it doesn't matter. Real homophobia affects real people in a really bad way.

TL;DR: They are doing it wrong.

Well, a lot of people seem to hate homophobes even more if they like slash/yaoi, so I can see where the OP is coming from.

That's because invariably that's the context they out themselves in. If they just said, I RL am a homophobe, without the "and I write slash" they'd get the same reaction. And there is the added annoyance of get-the-fuck-out-of-my-preferred-genre going on.

I am curious however if these real life homophobics write their slash as though it is fucked up or not. I'm a rapefic writer, but I write my rapefics as being a fucked up relationship. I'm not big into rape = love. I'm big into rape = something to be coped with, rationalized and overcome. In other words, even as I write this messed up relationship, I acknowledge that it is a messed up relationship. I wonder if these people do the same. I kind of suspect not -- and that would be a bit of hypocrisy.

And there is the added annoyance of get-the-fuck-out-of-my-preferred-genre going on.

Plus, it means they're fetishizing gay people while simultaneously hating them in real life. Um... no.

Well... see that's the whole point of the secret -- that that's exactly what happens with, say, rape fic. They fetishize the act while simultaniously hating it in real life. The fetishizing isn't the problem -- fetishes are fetishes, no rhyme, no reason. Fetishizing gay people is no weirder than fetishizing hair or big boobs or whatever. No, it's the hating of real people that that's the problem.
