When I got into fandom (oh no, I'm not dating myself at all) the slash stuff was quite literally under the table, invite only, you have to have a history known to Someone In Group before you were even considered. The het fandom had no idea we were even there and we knew we had to keep it that way (I had to wade through So Much mary-sue-self-insert to find The Someone who could get me an in). The idea that fandom has always been cock centered is such a strange one to me, when my founding experience was almost literal cock and cloak and dagger. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

When I got into slash fandom, it was in the early days of the Internet. I had to actively searching for it in exactly the right fandom-centric places. Slash fans had to make our own communities, archives and zines because slash, even mild G or PG-rated slash was not allowed in most spaces.

In non-slash spaces, F/F tended to be more tolerated than M/M because straight men liked it, while M/M was despised because women were doing something that made most people uncomfy. We kept our pseudonyms guarded, in-group secrets because of how disruptive it could be for our IRL lives if we got outed for writing m/m fic.

Whenever a parent got upset because their kid was looking at explicit material, it was almost always about m/m, to the point where site-owners would be threatened with legal action or reported to their IP for violation of TOS. When purges happened, it was often targeted at m/m. Does anyone else remember The Yaoi Shrine, Benjamin Wick, or the Tripod Massacre?
