I sort of agree in the sense that a lot of fandom will see anything where guys are close to each other as "queerbaiting" if it doesn't turn into a canon romance. Guys who are friends either need to be 10 feet away from each other at all times and giving no-homo nods at the camera, or else they need to be a canon couple. There can be no in between. It perpetuates a bad stereotype of the "right way" for guys to have a platonic friendship, IMO.

Agreed. Although for people to be afraid of being seen as gay is homophobia on their part really. Says more about them than the slashes.

Well first, I was talking about fictional characters, so it's really the writers being afraid of the characters being seen as gay, and stupid to call homophobia a character trait of theirs when it's the writers who are writing them as no-homo bros because they don't want the fans to get the wrong idea.

Second, you also know some people are afraid of being seen as gay because other people will treat them with homophobia and they could be fired from their jobs, beaten, or killed, right? Including actual gay people? I mean, awesome for you if you live in a progressive city where you don't have to worry about that, but that isn't how it is everywhere, you know?

Sorry, writing in a haze here (got a fever). Both are good points that I agree with. For some reason I thought you were talking about the One Direction post on this thread. Don't post while your brains are addled, kids.
