(Anonymous) 2020-08-07 05:13 am (UTC)(link)It's interesting to see how this played out across fandoms. In my initial fandom experience, it was a self insert specific archive, but the kind that listed affiliates, and a number of those affiliates were slash specific archives as well, which I thought was cool, if that's what you were into (obv, I wasn't, as I was hot for MC, but I could see why, esp. For the two antagonists...shit...now I kind of want to read some fic full of UST between them, lol). But it really is something to see how different corners of a fandom understood things. The two major M/M pairings I think we're pretty big too in the more "common areas" of this particular fandom, so I really didn't see a "warning" except for "EXPLICIT" or "MATURE" LOL the summary was pretty clear. Sometimes people would list the pairs too (quizilla, anyone?)
I think it was philstar above who points out how the need for "warning" is part of the issue of the time -- as if this pairing needs to be warned out about, and I agree.
I think it is emblematic of the time, of the expectation in your particular section of fandom, and the "taboo" people had (in many cases still have) with same sex relationships. It speaks about the taboos of the culture at large, at least of the folks in that fandom. But you've grown since then, and hopefully those other folks have too.
