no subject
Words do have power, and "gratuituous" is both negative and pretty much wholly subjective.
But so much slash just seems like it's for the sole purpose of making two pretty guys have sex.
No question about it; much slash, lika all romance, have shallow reasons for existing. Singling out slash makes it seem like you only think it's a problem when it's slash, and not het. From your answers here I know that's not what you meant, but when communicating in text only, saying exactly what you mean is important. Otherwise these misunderstandings occur so easily (since there are quite a few people out there who do think it only applies to slash).
Also, I don't think shallow reasons for a ship is necessarily a bad thing when it comes to fic - it's all in the execution.
And if people think the Winchesters are having twincest, then I'd hate to know what they'd think of me and my brother.
I'll tell you this much: people do it because they're fictional characters. Fiction is different from reality in many ways, and is accordingly treated in discussion and critique.
If it makes me pretentious, fine. That's just the way I feel about it. I'm as entitled to my opinions on slash as you are.
No I don't think it makes you pretentious at all - I'm surprised the word even came up.
Of course you're entitled to your opinions, but thinking about the resons for them is a good thing, and that goes for everyone - I do it all the time. Expressing them publicly opens up for discussion, and other people have the right to tell you their feelings on the subject.
A lot of fiction is shallow and cheap, but I've come to the conclusion that it's because of the execution of an idea or premise, not the idea or premise itself.
