Re: 37
I was mostly referencing that as a possible reason for why slash has the popularity it does, but it can be frustrating, yes.
I don't condone backlash against either het or slash fans. Both exist and both are not good things. In some fandoms, het can get you odd looks. In others, it's slash. But I've never been afraid to express a like for het in Death Note fandom, for example, which is quite possibly the slashiest fandom I've seen lately. I haven't ever felt afraid to like het in any fandom, but that just may be the fandoms I've experienced. I can't say fandom has ever made me afraid in general. What fandoms have you afraid of getting run out? D:
I love het. It should be okay to say so. But I don't think blaming the popularity of slash is the way to go about supporting het. Just as I don't believe disparaging het is the way to go about supporting slash. There is, as the OP suggests, a lot of belief that people who like slash DON'T like het and that the only reason people slash is because male on male action is pretty. That's not always true. Some of us dig everything.
All I want to see is all gender preferences (het, slash, and femslash) being allowed to express themselves freely within fandoms without having to take a shot across the bow from one or the other because "that fandom is SLASH'S territory" or "that fandom is HET'S territory." And I don't think it's an unreasonable request, but thus far I seem to be in the minority on that.
I'm not sure what in my comment made you think I felt the opposite of that statement. D: But I agree.
