That "fetishizing gay men" stance has been around for a while, but...so? Erotic fic is about what gets people off, and some of it is centered around certain acts/people. Sorry, not sorry.

Writing slash and turning male characters into really fey and stereotypical gay tropes (when it's out of character and the canon character is very masc) is annoying to me, though. It's like making, say, Jess in New Girl super butch.

Fetishizing real gay men to their face is in bad taste, but like, that almost never actually happens. I’ve heard some stories of it happening, and I can believe that some slash fans can have no sense of personal boundaries and a tenuous grip on reality vs. fiction, especially younger people. But they’re absolutely the minority of slash fans, and most of the time that’s not the case. I’ve never seen any examples of the “fetishizing” personally either, unless someone counts saying “Aww! What a cute couple!” as fetishizing. Which I definitely don’t, considering straight couples get that compliment all the time. It’s a pretty benign and tame compliment.

So the people who treat slash fans like the act of them liking or writing/drawing it is fetishizing real gay men in an of itself are acting in bad faith. Because unless it’s RPF, the characters are fictional, so nobody is getting fetishized IRL. And RPF is another issue that can be thorny to talk about, but at least it doesn’t qualify as fetishizing someone to their face(I assume that doesn’t happen at least, unless some people are giving their RPF to the celebrities themselves).
