Well, are you sure it's not just about the types of fandoms you're in? Like, when I was a kid, nearly all of the media I consumed had casts that consisted of like 90% male characters, and the few female characters that existed in them were poorly written, just there to be token girlfriends or fanservice, so they were never in in any of my ships. But now that I'm older, I still like plenty of M/M, but because both the quantity & quality of female characters is so much higher in the shit I like now, I ship a hell of a lot more M/F and F/F than I used to.

This.

I've seen different types of ships in every fandom I've been through (and sometimes no ships at all). Sometimes I can't see the logic of what other people are shipping in a particular fandom, but since I've been on the other side of that fence, I just shrug and focus on what I like.

Thirding this. Female characters were pretty thin on the ground for the longest time (particularly in the genres I enjoy), and the vast majority of that tiny minority were awful. A shallow caricature of a handful of designated female archetypes, most often employed as a token love interest. If I’m being honest, I still don’t gravitate to a lot of female characters (because I still don’t enjoy romantic plot lines and that’s still the most common storyline involving a female character) but thankfully, there’s many more female characters with greater depth in media today. Here’s hoping the trend continues.

And if we could ever start the trend of writing a woman as a character first and a participant in a romantic storyline second or not at all that would be just awesome.

This is a great point. When I was young, the most chemistry really was happening between the male characters exclusively, and the female characters weren't usually very interesting or well-written (or they just weren't really present at all).

Now to be fair, I'm still only interested in slash, but I've objectively seen better het pairs lately.

hard same on this and the secret. I used to ship only m/m with a bit of f/f but that was because I was into nothing but shounen sports anime. Now I'm consuming stuff with a 50/50 male to female ratio, with a lot of prominent women who do more than cheer the guys at the side and I have a ton of het ships now.

Nobody has come down on me for it. I actually find the het side of fandom is less wanky. So far all my het ships have been filled with fandoms that are full of chill bisexuals. So no homophobes, no "this is the only canon way, NO GAYS ALLOWED" types. Just people who are thirsty as hell for both characters and multiship them too.
