How is the OP acting like it's something only slash writers do? Just saying that it happens in m/m isn't the same thing as claiming it ONLY happens in m/m. You're reacting really defensively to something that isn't there.

The whole "just to make clear that only m/m is valid" is a pretty big assumption on OP's part is why.

It's basically saying that when a slasher bashes a female character, they're demonizing everything that isn't m/m and acting like m/m is the only valid thing and superior. But given how common it is to bash rival love interests in het fics or to have a main female character or OC be "not like other girls" it's really reaching to say that slash shippers do this to somehow act as though slash is the only valid thing or somehow superior.

>>"they're demonizing everything that isn't m/m and acting like m/m is the only valid thing and superior"

To be fair, two of the examples of m/m writers I was thinking when making this secret had the writer literally have the main characters gripe to themselves that being with women was unsatisfying because they are so vapid, capricious, and immaterial. Then they had female characters being jerks and "leading away" one of the main characters, causing the other one to get really angry and monologue some more about how easily men fall for feminine wiles of evil women.

It was interestingly written fic/well-drawn historical yaoi, but by deciding female characters who are single-mindedly deadset to make the male characters suffer because idk a central part of the story, it was just ridiculously dumb.

So yeah, they were actually saying that only the love between men was pure and real.

what fandom was this, jaysus

One of them was a yaoi manga that was a retelling of Scheherazade, but with m/m and an evil queen determined to torture them. The other came from a small fandom so I'm not going to namedrop, but it was about doctors.

"Well-written"? Nope, even the little you have described above makes me decide it isn't.

Manga and anime fandoms are often the worst on this regard. Or they used to be (either they're getting better or I have lost my patience with the worst of them).
