AYRT Yeah, I was never on ff.net, I was on usenet then email lists before livejournal and it was definitely happening there. Most slash writers were absolutely chill in the early days, but I think as slash got more popular and mainstream (for certain values of "mainstream") in some fandoms, i.e. not off on its own separate list, people felt the need to get louder about hating real life queers. The absolute last time I remember it happening was around S2 of Supernatural.

ayrt

I can definitely see that sort of build in popularity having that sort of backlash for sure. I remember there being a lot of general phobia around that time too. Even though 2007 feels so late, I think it was a few years after gay people were given a lot of the same rights, (marriage, etc,) in the states especially, so the loudness would definitely come from a mix angry people just being assholes. Still, I hate that it was still happening in an area like fic and fandom.
