Maybe it was just the way I read that secret.

Like, I read that as "I like fictional gay characters, but real gay people, I don't find all that great. I wish more real gay people were like gay characters, or I could meet some that were like them in real life."

Well, I figured

"I write slash" = I like fictional gay characters
"I hate gay people" = but I hate the gay people I've met IRL so far

But then, I'm an optimist and I like to give people the benefit of the doubt all the time.

Well, I figured

"I write slash"=I write slash
"I hate gay people" =I hate gay people

I'm a retardist, I like to think people are retards all of the time.

♥ I hope you know that I'm not angry or anything. I just kind of am amused.

I didn't read it like that. I can write about a murderer or a drug addict and still really hate murderers (even if I make it a cool character) and dislike drug addicts. You don't have to like what you write or draw.

That's retarded.

Does anyone know what fundamental attribution error is here? Or cognitive bias? Anyone?

Does she know who and what 'real gay people' are? Homosexuality is a sexual preference, it is not a personality trait. You can be campy and feminine and heterosexual. It just stands out when a gay man is because of what TV has raped into our heads.
