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.
