So you're saying that when a show that isn't labelled as BL or yuri starts introducing same-sex relationships the general attitude towards it is positive? That most people who are more than alright with hetero romance (the so called "het shippers") aren't all "fucking hell, another fujioshi pandering shit"?

You can't make blanket statements, and expect people to take you seriously.

I am an anon commenter on a community dedicated to secrets that say things like how much they want to get fucked by a fictional character, and "how you are the X to my Y", and how they judge people on the Internet for liking Harry Potter over Darren Shan. I doubt anyone here could be taken seriously.

About Hetalia: you have to distinguish between those in fandom and those who don't participate in fandom activity. Fandom is heavy loaded with slash, as it is with many other fandoms, but the casual fans don't see it and don't like it when someone calls it to their attention. I've met quite many paople outside fandom who read Hetalia and found nothing gay about it and if you mentioned that oh yes, some boy/boy pairings might be canon, they would throw away their copies instantly or just laugh in your face.

But for BASARA, if anyone is going around saying that it's "the gayest show of the season," then yeah, they kinda have any bashing they get coming to them.

Like how Karina/Kotetsu shippers who believe it will become canon deserve the counter-bashing they get? :3

And this secret was about T&B. OP was talking about het shippers in the T&B fandom, not in other fandoms, not het shippers in general, but the het shippers who happened to have watched T&B, shipped K/K and assumed it would becaome canon just because she's the main female lead, and upon seeing that it didn't happen that way, they started to spew hateful and homophobic insults towards K/B shippers.

BASARA is a hack n' slash GAME first, and an anime second.

And the grass is green, and the sky is blue. Why did you feel the need to state the obvious?

And yes, Basara was quite gay, or as /a/ might call it, ~fabulous~ in a manly way. But still gay.

Also, most fandoms I've seen outside of LJ have been pretty slash friendly, to be honest. The only places I've seen that really haven't been are things like gaming forums that, as you said, are male dominated.

Tumblr doesn't count. And nah, fandom outside LJ is quite male dominated (and quite homophobic) on most anime forums, with the possible exception of Mangafox where the rabid teen girls are running loose.
