"Slash writers in both Holmes and Trek have openly admitted to taking liberties with the setting to be more inclusive. So I don't know why it's so controversial to just admit that slash fiction takes those liberties and is set in a different universe from the original."

H/W ACD writer here and I NEVER "take liberties with the setting" - some writers may, doesn't mean we all do. My Victorian/Edwardian London is just as dangerous, homophobic and other-ist as it really was - authenticity is my mantra. And as populated with gay people. They did exist before Stonewall, y'know. Edward Carpenter, anyone? John Addington Symonds? Edith Lees? Ethel Smyth? Plus many more famous and numberless unknown.
'Controversial' - how about factually incorrect?

/ACD didn't mean them to be lovers of course. Doesn't worry me. That's why it's fan fiction and not canon pastiche.
