Because kink memes are the best place to judge what's going on with a particular fandom. It's a *kink* meme FFS!
I currently participate in actual online coms *gasp* for six different fandoms and we have no shortage of Het stories along with everything else. The Castle fandom, for instance, is dominated by het stories.
And yes, the explicit het sex sells an iffy story just as efficiently as explicit slash does.
I am tired of hearing how one thing or another "dominates" fandom. It really is a matter of trying to compare apples and oranges. I'm not an Avengers fan but look at the canon. Look at how many male characters there are to female characters and then be stupid enough to complain about the ratio of slash to het stories.
