There is nothing inherently LGBTQ-supportive about shipping slash pairings. Plenty of slash fans are gay fetishists and really creepy and obnoxious.

As for the nonslash fans... I myself find it a bit skeevy when people decide on who to ship based on whether it's a gay pairing or not, whether it's slash fans or nonslash fans doing it. Having very few slash pairings just because of personal interest isn't really weird and discriminating like that at all.

That's true, there really isn't, but it's an association that fandom unfortunately makes.

I agree that it's kind of weird choosing based off of if it's a gay pairing or not, but I think it ends up just being personal preference. I tend to ship mostly canon pairings that have a chemistry of some kind together that I find pleasing and that I usually (but not always) find in het pairings. But I can definitely get behind slash (i.e. Sulu/Chekov and Kirk/Spock from Star Trek) and femslash (i.e. Regina/Emma from Once Upon a Time).

Ok you don't have to defend your het shipping ways. FFS why defend anything at all. It's fandom, a place of weird fetish and random shit.

I know I don't, and I don't personally have a problem with it. It's just occasionally you get the "you don't like this slash? why do you hate gay people?" types who aren't the majority of fandom but still crop up once in a while.

Don't worry I get "You like slash, you're disgusting" one in a while too

fandom is just made up of assholes I swear.

That's... that's the best definition of fandom ever. It should be made into a flag or something.

This. So, so much this. Reading slash does not make you more enlightened or supportive than someone who primarily reads het.

I sorta 50% agree.

I don't see why it's "skeevy" that I prefer to ship gay pairings or not. I like a lot of het pairings but I don't actively "ship it". Also, I'm gay yeah I agree that slashing has nothing to do with rights but I find that a lot of them are gay activists so that's ok with me. I couldn't care less if they like two dicks together
