33? You might as well have posted a 360x360 image saying TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS ON YAOI.

I'd like to agree with this secret - really, fandom, whatever happened to friendship? - but I can't. Instead, I've got to agree with everyone who's asked why you're singling slash fans out. Why are you singling slash fans out when het ficcers take close friendships and do exactly the same thing with them? It's perfectly possible for a straight man and a straight woman to be friends without secretly wanting to jump one another's bones, too. This may be a radical idea but if slash bothers you, you could always, I don't know, ignore it?

I don't doubt you feel you have a valid complaint but perhaps House and Wilson weren't the best choice of couple to use to illustrate it, and pointing the finger at one specific group of fans when damn near everyone does it is just asking for potentially wanky comments like this one, sorry to say. Just for that, you get an icon featuring best friends kissing.
