Haha, this, so much. I'm not even into RPS, but ... just live and let live. It's just hilarious/pathetic how worked up some people get over it, like RPS is the worst thing ever and people who like RPS are some sort of serial killers.

A prompt in my fandom for RPF got asked in include a trigger warning once. My mind was kind of blown.

It always amuses me when people act like it's unusual/weird for straight women to find two guys together attractive. Okay, fine, you don't enjoy it, but it's hardly an obscure thing to like.

[identity profile] mistaria.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
This. I just respond with "it's the same thing as guys finding two girls together attractive." Although I once got a "no, it's not" in response. ::rolls eyes::

[identity profile] lolofielding.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Just curious; was the response from a man or a woman?

Coz I tried using that argument on a friend of mine and she said the same thing but her boyfriend was like; "Fair dos."

I usually replay with "I like it because I can perv on two guys at once." That usually awkwards the other person into shutting the hell up.

man, this. I remember catching a few minutes of a radio show once where the two hosts were completely baffled and disgusted by Anne Hathaway saying that she found Heath Ledger and Jake Gylenwhatever kissing kind of sexy. And yet the same hosts also talk about the magnificence of lesbian porn...

In western culture, female sexuality has largely been defined by men - what we like, what we want, how we are supposed to respond and behave, etc. Men have convinced themselves, and many women, that female sexuality is not "visual" and is all about romance. Hence the cultural beliefs that women do not like porn unless it's soft-core romantic stuff - because we're supposed to be all about the story, not the visual. Thus, how could we possibly like seeing two men get each other off? There's no role for us to play in the happy-ever-after scenario there, so it must be purely visceral - but that doesn't make sense because we're not supposed to work that way. So , if we like it, there must be something wrong with us.

I got that answer too, and also a guy who said "Err... not all guys find two girls together attractive".

[identity profile] writerserenyty.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
LOL this. I've always thought it funny when people find that strange.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-20 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
lol seriously like they think it's SO HARD finding two dicks attractive or something

[identity profile] hiyami.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually I assume that it's because they're oh so sure that what straight women love in men is their masculinity, which they actually equate to macho clichés. And that, obviously (to them), gay = not masculine at all so how could a woman be attracted to a gay man?

Also, I did talk with women who love to fantasize about the male singer of our favorite band, and they said that if they found out he was gay, they would no longer feel the same amount of excitation about him. I don't really get it, since either way, we'll never going to bed him, but... Some women DO feel that way, so I doubt these would enjoy slash or homoerotic stuff.

lol, just here to be amused at the picture you chose.

[identity profile] to-question.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I agree, OP. Seriously, there are better soapboxes to stand on.

I just love that you chose a Last Shadow Puppets image! :D Alex and Miles' bromance is so cute, so I ship it, negl.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-20 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
this is kind of weird because some women like watching two dudes make out/have sex because they're straight and it means they can ogle two people they're attracted to instead of having to also look at a woman they have no sexual interest in

[identity profile] oflittlebrain.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
yeah this is a big reason why i like gay porn i think. i'm just rly not interested in seeing the finer details of a vagina tbh.

i don't really understand the logic of statements like OP's example. then again, girls who say that kind of thing usually don't watch porn at all, i guess.

[identity profile] piratesswoop.livejournal.com 2011-12-20 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
same, i'm really turned on by gay porn, but m/f porn does nothing to me, for some reason. i'm straight, i like sex with guys, but when it comes to watching porn, guy on girl just does nothing for me.

Oh, Milex, I don't do RPS, but if I did you would be at the top of my list.

...Isn't that two different things? People getting up in arms about RPF/girls not liking slash?

(Anonymous) 2011-12-20 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, people generally dislike RPF because they think it's creepy and disrespectful, nothing to do with slash. Het RPF is just as bad.

Beat me to it by a second. Yeah, slash ain't RPF and RPF ain't slash.

Okay, I think those are 2 very different things there. Slash is just any two (or more) men together, regardless of whether they are real or fictional, and RPF is writing stories about real people, be that fiction action, romance, snuff, whatever, and whether it involves hetero or homosexual pairings (or none at all.) There are RPF people who think that homosexuality is wrong and gross, and most the people who think that RPF is wrong and creepy think that because it's a violation of a real person's privacy.

Just pointing out... not the same thing.

(Anonymous) 2011-12-20 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
IDK, the way the secret is written is kinda weird and seems like there's something missing, but I think the OP used the picture to identify the fandom they were referring to, which is Alex Turner/Miles Kane, and being familiar with the some of the fans reactions' to the pairing, reading it like that makes sense to me. I didn't get the impression at all that they were saying RPF and slash are the same thing.
