Clearly, you're an idiot who missed the point that assuming very is straight = heteronormativity (that is, making heterosexuality into the "default" even when there's no evidence either way) = "het goggles".

And dismissing someone for wearing "slash goggles" is, in fact, enforcing a heterosexist viewpoint. Sorry.

Uh, no it's not.
I would have loved to have listened to someone like you sit in my Feminist Theory class and explain to everyone in the class why you think we're all heterosexist for thinking your practice of slashing every fucking male character you come across with another male character is silly and unwarranted. In fact, I live with a gay male couple who happen to think the female fetishizing of their sexuality is disgusting.

I also think that people who want to slash female characters or pair up male and female characters who have no chemistry together are silly. SHIPPING IN GENERAL JUST TO SHIP IS SILLY

And for the last time, my views on fandom = my views on FUCKING REAL PEOPLE, or ACTUAL SOCIETY.

You're an idiot. Accusing someone of "slash goggles" does not mean the person being accused assumes all characters everywhere are gay. However, by dismissing it in such an offhand way without acknowledging that by assuming characters are straight when there's no evidence either way you're wearing "het goggles" you are, in fact, normatizing heterosexuality. Thus heteronormative.

I'm not accusing you of hating gay people. That's not what heterosexism or heteronormativity has to mean. It means assuming that heterosexuality is always going to be the default. In fiction or out of it. RL attitudes often inform fandom, and vice versa.

And, not to wave credentials, but I could, in fact, support my argument. I have a degree in Gender Studies and I'm working on another in American Studies.

This. Everything you said.
