You shouldn't have mentioned your friends; people would have pounced on you less. I don't doubt it's true but people will always feel smug about it and pull out the 'doth protest too much' card to wave fanatically about as if it trumps your entire argument.

I agree with you about the abundance of slash. It's tiresome sometimes. The same pairings over and over and over again. That's what I'm guessing your secret implied so I'm sorry if I'm mistaken. But I'm lucky that my fandoms aren't restricted to simply slash pairings. It can still be tiresome seeing so much unoriginality being spewed up on a daily basis whether it's m/m, f/m and f/f. That's my problem with it - there's no new dynamics being explored. Too many write so-so NC-17 fics which read like the hundred others I've seen previously.

That doesn't mean it shouldn't exist, however. I like my plotty gen though not everyone else does, and I shouldn't expect them to. Can you just accept that slash is a huge part of fandom and let it go? People enjoy slash. Many people enjoy slash. I enjoy slash.

Sometimes BFF are simply BFF but fandom would be boring if no one explored the possibilities.

I would probably have *dramatically less* of a problem with it if all of the fandoms I'm really invested in didn't try to shove it down my throat as if it's *meant to be! [swoon]*.

OMG, YES.

Now I understand your post better. Really dislike those fans who write EPIC TRULUV fics about the slash pairing, which for the characters is incredibly OOC, and then get really 'het up' when you mention that, actually, those men are very unlikely to start sending each other flowers, chocolates, valentines card with little doodles of hearts and declaring their undying love for each other because their love is UNDENIABLE AND FOREVER.

Especially when they treat the female characters as a hindrance to their OTP. Why turn them all into bitches? Why? Treat the characters like they're real bloody people, please.
