I'm queer and that title is setting off my rage. Is it not bad enough that people IRL insist on defining queer people solely by our orientation. Do you HAVE to drag that bullshit into fandom so blatantly? My "straight girl who likes to fantasize about hawt gay guys" o meter is going off.

Yeah, it was such a weird story. I think I read like the first chapter. But from what I recall there was like...a lot of woobification of characters and emo stuff.

This is just my personal experience, but: my sense is that stuff doesn't come out of "straight-girl-fantasy"; my sense is that it mostly appeals to young people who are queer, or questioning their identities, and want to see fiction that's fundamentally about those topics.

This. There's certainly a strain of fic that rings very straight-girl-fantasy, but "the characters are queer and do things and did I mention they're queer" smacks a lot more of young or immature writers who are using fic as a way to explore their concept of identity in a relatively safe space.

That or trolls writing parodyfic because they're outraged by the existence of ~the SJWs~.
