Why does anyone have to "ask themselves" why they're not into it? If someone isn't turned on by it, they're not turned on by it. Like...I tried to like slash once. Really, I did. But it just wasn't doing anything for me. I eventually found that I'm fine with same-sex pairings being mushy and fluffy and romantic and stuff, but as soon as it gets into the explicit sex stuff...nope, not feeling anything. I'm often the same for het stuff too, so it's not some "internalised homophobia" or whatever. Forcing someone to like something isn't going to change their mind.

Oh, and by the way? Liking/disliking slash doesn't dictate one's acceptance level of real LGBTQ+ people. I've run across some pretty disgustingly homophobic people who are rabid slashers. They're okay with fetishising fictional gay people, but they're repulsed by the idea of real ones having any rights. I'm guessing more progressive-thinking slashers would rather be around someone who's pro-LGBTQ+ rights but not interested in slash than homophobic slashers.

Liking slash is not the same as being turned on by slash. You can think two people are good for each other without wanting to imagine their sex life. I'm not surprised that some people would find it off-putting if someone confessed to feeling nothing but apathy or mild revulsion when they simply see two men in love.

Without more detail, it's impossible to judge OP, but there very much are people who dislike slash for homophobic reasons, but who have convinced themselves that their preference hasn't been influenced by homophobia. It's not at all uncommon for bigots to not consider themselves bigoted.

Turning it around and saying "yeah, well, some slashers are homophobic, checkmate!" seems a bit ridiculous to me, because homophobic slashers existing doesn't negate the existence of homophobic anti-slashers.
