...yeah no. Basically the pendelum has just swung the other way. When I started out in fandom as a teenager slash fans couldn't admit to being slash fans without getting flamed into oblivion and then banned off mailing lists. You couldn't post a PG slash story to an archive/list/wherever without labeling it explicit, warnings, etc etc. There were FREQUENT anti-slash diatribes.

And this just wasn't one fandom, it was pretty much every fandom I got into back then (mostly live-action televison, movie, and book fandoms, I can't speak to the behavior in comics or anime) and it stayed that way for a very, very long time. Slash fans got seriously marginalized and basically built their own spaces and, eventually, those spaces got big enough to fight back. NOW, it's swing the other way in a lot of fandoms and those spaces are as big, if not bigger, than the het spaces.

I wish I could say they're being more charitable than the het fans were back in the day, but I can't really blame them either. No one gets the moral high ground on this one anymore.

Basically this.

Much as I hate it, the homophobe argument is probably a good thing in that it maybe stops that pendulum from swinging back to the other extreme. I don't condone the poor behavior on either side, but if there wasn't the SJ and the "anti-slash = homophobe" brigade, it would be too easy for a nastier kind of hate to happen. Hopefully there'll eventually be a nice, peaceful normalization of the whole thing.

There are still fandoms where slash is marginalized and if you ship anything other than the Main Pairing (even het), you get hated on like crazy by a lot of the MAIN PAIRING = OTP AND NOTHING ELSE SHOULD EXIST SO STOP DRAWING AND WRITING IT police.

I'm in a couple, and I slash anyway. Haters gonna etc.
