Situations like this one is why I always side eye the people in fandom going "If you only ship het ships you're an homophobe" or "if you only ship the white guys you have internalized racism" and so on and so forth

Fandom and activism have always been very well separated worlds for me, as I think they should be. I cannot help what I am interested into when it comes to fictional settings, but in my day to day life I absolutely support LGBTQA+ people and POC all the way, in the ways I reasonably can as a single individual.

The fact that the feelings like the one you experienced is so prevalent it's such a shame. Like, I get it that finding a m/m fic might be baby's first taste of minority representation for some people, but once you've found that out, the activism should be a separated facet of one's life from what they like to write/read/draw about fandom-wise.

Also, like, I have sadly met people who like slash ship and are *real* homophobe irl. Like, Christian conservatives levels of homophobia. Clearly, liking slash/femslash and being also not a dickward irl are not necessarily correlated situations.
