It's one thing to prefer female characters, and a whole 'nother thing entirely to be annoyed at the icky gays getting in the way of your story.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-06 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
not the op, but that's not what the secret says at all. maybe you were just making a statement in general and i agree with your statement in general, but if you're making the leap from the secret to icky gays... well, i just don't see it.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-06 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
ayrt

I'm just saying, OP could have gotten their message across without the "ewwww you got gay man all over my interesting and superior female archetype".

(Anonymous) 2012-04-06 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
OP

It's not so much "ugh the icky gays" as it is the "ugh the icky men and their romance"

I am aokay with plotty longfic femmeslash. There's just... really not a lot of it out there.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-06 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
So icky gays but lesbians are ok.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-06 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Why are you trying to take OP's statements and twist them into a slur because they don't like dudes?

Then again, why do I need to ask that...? God forbid someone be interested in women in fandom.

hi op

..yeah, not everybody is homophobic. Stop looking for slurs in places that there aren't any slurs.

She's not NOT interested in slash, she just isn't interested in men.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-06 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure she's not interested in slash since it's filled with..men? There's nothing wrong with that.

[identity profile] fuchsiascreams.livejournal.com 2012-04-07 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, exactly. I don't understand how anybody could be reading homophobic intent into this secret, ffs. She CLEARLY said, "I DON'T LIKE READING SLASH BECAUSE I AM NOT INTERESTED IN READING ABOUT MEN, I PREFER READING ABOUT WOMEN".

(Anonymous) 2012-04-07 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
And I prefer reading about male slash and not women, but that apparently makes me a sexist, misogynist asshole by default. Ah, the crosses we have to bear when it comes to personal tase.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-06 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all even close to what that secret says.

I knew that at least one person was going to try and say this. Because every single person who doesn't like slash is actually just homophobic.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-06 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
If you are reading a great, plotty story that you enjoy and suddenly - MAN SEX! causes you to exit the browser in disgust?

Yes. you are homophobic.

(Anonymous) 2012-04-06 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
What if it makes me exit the browser not in digust but because "meh, slash, I just don't want to read something where this is gonna keep cropping up because I'm just not interested"?

Does that make me a homophobic lesbian? :|a
