Re: 173 OP
(Anonymous) 2008-12-14 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)Of course I don't mean about Homophobia. I mean het fans don't as often troll slash threads and say "OMG, he can't be gay! He's meant for XXXX!"
As for the het= homophobia, you implied it with you "homophobia is celebrated!" comments. Did I say homophobia was A-Ok? No. Did I suggest that some people use homophobia as a catch all defense why they are 'persecuted' by having to see het of their obviously GAY character, no matter how well written? maybe. Sorry for the confusion.
Re: 173 OP
(Anonymous) 2008-12-15 12:00 am (UTC)(link)No, they just make passive aggressive comments about how all slash fans are annoying and have to insist on making everyone gay instead :)

(Anonymous) 2008-12-15 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)Re: 173 OP
I've seen it happen as often as people going "OMG YOU ARE HOMOPHOBIC IF YOU HATE SLASH"
Re: 173 OP
(Anonymous) 2008-12-15 12:34 am (UTC)(link)PW? And I've seen my share of het fans complaining about persecution, usually at the hands of evil slashers who are totally taking over fandom.
I mean het fans don't as often troll slash threads and say "OMG, he can't be gay! He's meant for XXXX!"
No, they don't. Of course, I've never heard of slash fans trolling het threads either. So I guess I'm not a reliable source.
As for the het= homophobia, you implied it with you "homophobia is celebrated!" comments. Did I say homophobia was A-Ok? No.
First of all, that wasn't me. Second, the person didn't say that you, personally, were celebrating homophobia. They were talking about society in general and I think we can agree that our society frequently celebrates homophobia.
Did I suggest that some people use homophobia as a catch all defense why they are 'persecuted' by having to see het of their obviously GAY character, no matter how well written? maybe. Sorry for the confusion.
Other people have already explained the difference between writing slash about presumably heterosexual characters and het about openly gay characters. If you haven't gotten it by now, then you probably never will. However, I'd like to point out that I've seen people write het about canonically gay characters and get celebrated for their "edginess".
Re: 173 OP
(Anonymous) 2008-12-15 12:36 am (UTC)(link)Man, we have clearly hung out in different fandoms.
Re: 173 OP
(Anonymous) 2008-12-15 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)Uh last time I checked, they do that. Actually, they do that quite a lot. Post a slash fic in certain fandoms? Will result in shitstorm. Post a slash pic on DA? Depending on the fandom will result in a shitstorm.
No, slashers are not innocent of this, either and yes, some of them are obnoxious as hell, but so are het fans.
Besides, the biggest pairing wars? Were about het pairings. See Zutara vs. Kataang and Harmione vs. everyone else.
Slash fans have their fair share of pairing wars against eachother, too, but non ever reached the size of the het fights.
