Just to be clear, this is for ANY pairings. I read slash, het, and femslash. But can't stand when a Gen fic is labeled as gen but has a pairing as a focus. As background (like parents or whatnot), fine. But if your main character is in a romantic relationship (even if it isn't the focus), I don't count that as gen.

Wait, even if it isn't the focus? Like, let's say the main character has Someone Back Home who never actually features in the story, they're just mentioned a handful of times. That doesn't count as gen?

AYRT Yeah, that's fair! Pairing fic is not gen! But "no pairings in gen" has absolutely been used in a homophobic way, along with the "well, what about their parents, are you saying they don't have parents?" so I like to add a bit of context.

But it is gen. By AO3’s own definition, that’s genfic. Twenty years ago that was genfic and tomorrow it will be genfic. You’re not going to change that but you can change your viewpoint since it’s a source of frustration for you.

Twenty years ago it was still being argued about. You are wrong.
