I don't see a problem with people trying to highlight subtext. Especially because (in my headcanon) the 23rd century has TOTAL different social constructs of sexuality and relationship dynamics. It's fun to think about. Personally, I enjoyed the little bits of fanservice Roddenbury and other writers threw at us ("t'hy'la", namely)and think that, as long as nobody takes it to seriously, reveling over scenes which can be taken as slashy (Backrub ftw!) is a ton of fun!

There are some really rabid, scary fangirls who ship this pairing, though, I will admit. And they do kinda make it awkward for the rest of us :(

Brittany and the Ship's Closet gets on my nerves, I won't lie. It's a bad, bad, bad attempt at GLBT film/literary theory. Nothing is worse than a badly organized, random, unintellectual "argument" that thinks its smart, logical, and intellectual. Nothing personal on her-she seems like a badass chick. I'd probably like her if I met her in real life. But I dislike the whole "THERE IS NOOOO OTHER INTERPRETATION!" when actually, yeah, there are many different interpretations of the scenes she analyzes. That's the fun part! Kudos to her for putting it out there, though. I definitely respect her for having the gumption to do that.

I've never heard of "Brittany and the Ship's Closet." Should I check it out or will it just bother me?

[ansley15.livejournal.com]

Check it out and make up your own mind about it! Just because I don't care for it doesn't mean others might not find it fun :) Basically, it's this girl named Brittany going through TOS pointing out all the slashy scenes and tries to make an argument that Kirk/Spock subtext was intended by Roddenbury. I personally don't care much for the author's intentions and I think she's incredibly naive and bad at reasoning (though I TOTALLY agree with her on the Theodore Sturgeon thing!) But she's entertaining. She's fun. She never, ever bashes Uhura or any other pairing and she's not at all a misogynist (though she does dislike Rand pretty vocally).

She is a pretty vocal "OMG! KS IS MY OTP!!!" fangirl. As a fellow multishipper, I don't mind people NOT being multishippers as long as they don't flame me for it. But she never talks about IX so S/U doesn't really come up.
