Re: I feel like I'm missing the point here

I think OP only meant it humorously, tbh. Slash is the common config for ships in fandoms too. But I get what you mean, I also have been noticing people have been weird about shipping m/f recently, it's kind of funny.

As someone who has about 98% het ships, I think it just depends where you are in your fandoms. I will say, in my experience, that fandom at large (especially these days, please don't @ me with the times where after the disclaimer, there were warnings for slash, which I never encountered myself -- my first fandom literally linked to the sister site, which was a slash focused side of fandom) is slash heavy.

I've always felt most people have either been "meh" about het or "ugh I could never" about it, just throughout my 15+ year fandom career. Some people are just very vocal about some things they find to be issues with the ship (which, I mean...esp for sometimes for fucked up ships, that's why I'm here lol. Shout out to the people who do het A/B/O too lmao messy). I always kind of look at as people starting ship wars. What for? Ship who you want! And I'll ship who I want! Maybe I'll even ship your ship when I'm in the mood for it! Maybe OT3 it bc I'm feeling fancy! I just like that we can all share the characters and have them live out the stories we'd like to see!

All this said, I haven't run into anyone personally trying to make a whole fuss about it. Maybe it's younger fandom? Twitter/Tumblr fandom? Idk.

Or maybe it's just where you are hanging out in fandom. AO3 skews towards slash, because it was created by slash fans, heavily for slash fans, because the people who created AO3 wanted a place to post slash fanworks that wasn't dependent on advertisers or at risk of being suddenly deleted because someone got their undies in a twist over the existence of m/m. Tumbler skews towards slash, because that's where lj slash fans migrated after strikethrough. But there are still huge communities like wattpad and reddit that were heavily skewed towards het.

Oh man, I was looking at fandom stuff on reddit for fun and curiosity (I'm not a reddit person, generally speaking) and was shocked at all the het. My fandom spaces have historical all leaned more towards slash, with het showing up but definitely being the minority.

Oh for sure! As I said, I think it depends on where you are in fandom. All of my fandoms are slash heavy, or have been slash adjacent/the juggernaut pairings of fandom have always been slash (MCU, SPN, so many anime, etc.). I've been lucky enough to find nooks that have what I tend to like, so it's never been too big a deal for me (and I tend to write what I want to see if I can't find it). But my fandom spaces have been FF .net, AO3, fandom/ship specific archives back in the day, and LJ pairing specific comms. I had no idea about AO3! That makes total sense then. I wasn't really around spaces or fandoms that weren't friendly to slash, I guess. As I said, even my very first fandom which was pairing specific linked to the sister site, which was a slash pairing.

I think a lot of people assume that the fannish spaces they hang out in are the only ones there are, and for a lot of people these days, that's tumblr/twitter/AO3.

I think a lot of that depends on where you hang out in your fandoms and what fandoms you are in. In my experience, het was always far more popular than slash or femslash in most fandoms, unless you were hanging out in a slash heavy community.
