Does Nick, age 35, count as a young pretty man? Honestly, Louis and Francis were pretty well designed to be slashed. It kinda worked, too. You can't blame Valve for varying their characters. And considering the cliche stereotypes they were going for, the designs they went with in the end really did make a lot of sense. They made Ellis a pretty young man because... well, who would really want to be a middle-aged beer-belly redneck? And they made Nick a suave not-so-young man to fit the image of the conman who seduces stupid young brides and steals their husbands' money. Much like Sawyer in Lost.

... Come to think of it, the early designs for Left 4 Dead 1 (http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/File:Concept-survivors1.jpg) were far less kind to the slash fans... They gave us a lot of fanservice back then, too........ with Louis AND Francis.

30s is young enough when a lot of the fandom is in their 20s. Now if Nick had been 40+ that would have deterred a lot of the slash.

I'm not blaming Valve for varying the characters, I'm saying it would be more logical for OP to blame Valve for not giving us another Louis instead the fans for taking what they did give us in the field of slashable men and running with it.

35 isn't that old, honestly.

I think Valve does a pretty good job with the character representations. Yeah, they're cliche character types (i.e. the Gambler, the Mechanic, the Coach, the Producer), but they're not all white men.
