(Anonymous) 2026-01-28 02:48 am (UTC)(link)I definitely saw people in the 90s write slash and have a disclaimer that they didn't support gays in real life. They were the minority, though, of an already minority community.

(Anonymous) 2026-01-28 03:00 am (UTC)(link)Yep you are right, they existed, and homophobic slash writer were a rarity even back then. I have no idea why people nowadays say it was pretty common. It wasn't.
Maybe they wrote insensitive and borderline fetishising stuff, sure, but they weren't overtly homophobic and most people even supported gay marriage when it was mostly a mirage back then.
They were absolutely no more homophobic than the general population of the time. Let's remember that the 90s and 00s were not great decades for gay rights or any sensitivity toward minorities.
