I don't get slash either. In fact, I think it's rather stupid that people feel the need to change character's sexual orientations at all.

[identity profile] scarlet-pencil.livejournal.com 2010-05-02 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
What if their sexual orientation isn't explicitly stated? Are we to assume that bisexuality is impossible?

(Anonymous) 2010-05-02 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
This argument is the worst argument ever. If a character only ever shows interest in the opposite sex, claiming that they could be bisexual just to suit your stupid ship is reaching, regardless of whether or not the character ever said "I'M STRAIGHT, GODDAMN IT, STRAIGHT".

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's not a goddamn zebra. But if you need every little thing spelled out in black and white, regardless of your context clues, you're probably an idiot.

(Anonymous) 2010-05-02 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
lol talks like a duck. I MEANT SWIMS LIKE A DUCK.

Okay, so bisexual people don't exist, and guys who date girls absolutely never ever date guys. :) Good to know. Dumbass.

By your logic, if a guy dated a guy, he can never ever show interest in girls, either?

Are we to assume that being completely heterosexual is impossible too?


I'm just saying that in a lot of specific fandoms, even if a character is straight, some people actually argue (like for realsies) that they're really actually gay and just confused.

Because of the gender of the person they ship them with. Seems pretty clear to me. It doesn't even always involve changing their sexual orientation.

(Anonymous) 2010-05-02 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
If a character's sexual orientation is not explicitly stated, it does not mean they are heterosexual.

It also DOES NOT MEAN it's not, which is the big fucking problem in fandom at large.

Congrats, you win

[identity profile] seiberwing.livejournal.com 2010-05-02 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Why is it that people can assume any other aspect of a character's personality or background in fanfic, but sexuality is this huge sticking point?

[identity profile] lissa2.livejournal.com 2010-05-02 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
There are gay canon characters you know...

[identity profile] kuchren.livejournal.com 2010-05-02 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
What if their sexual orientation was homosexual to begin with...? Would you still not get it?

[identity profile] 24-centuries.livejournal.com 2010-05-02 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's kind of stupid to assume that unless a woman is driving a pick up truck with a tool-belt strapped to her hips and fixing cars or a guy is sashaying around with a limp wrist and lisping every other syllable and stating that everything is "FABULOUS!" that a character is OMG SO HETERO!

[identity profile] madelynnm.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
And people assume that a male character who's had multiple female sexual partners and is considered a playboy is really gay/bi but confused so he's screwing every female possible.

Is that so wrong?

YES THAT'S HORRIBLE

STOP HAVING FUN GODDAM. YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

[identity profile] wizardxrocker.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's very, very wrong. DIdn't you know? Fandom isn't about having fun. Fictional characters are srs bsns.

[identity profile] michygeary.livejournal.com 2010-05-02 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
What if they're not changing it? What if the characters are already gay?

Here's what I'm wondering. If "canon" means Boy-A is dating Girl-B, does that mean that fanfics that put Boy-A with Girl-C are "rather stupid"? Or putting any characters together, het or otherwise, that aren't already together in the canon? Because you're changing who the person likes? Because if that's the case, then every EO fic-writer out there should fear you.

People like you make fandom boring, so I just pretend you don't exist.
