this is my issue with 'shipping' - people lose touch of reality and start to see things through ship-colored glasses

society still makes fun of 'gayness' and any quibs in mainstream, primetime american tv is a representation of that aspect of society, not our slash ship wish-fulfillment..."don't bend over to pick up the soap, lol" is poking fun, it's not the writers/society being one step closer to making our ships cannon

the only 'acceptable' type of gay character is that of (what's that kid's name on Glee?) where the gay character is camp and needs to be shown to have 'issues' and the episode/show is geared toward 'teaching' people acceptance by appealing to their compassion, rather than just having some BE gay and living as normal a life as everyone around them

fandom/fics/internet desensitizes us to how the vast majority of people still think and what they find acceptable

Fans losing touch with reality is hardly confined to shippers, or slashers more specifically, since that seems to be what you are referring to here. And there are plenty of shippers, slashers or otherwise, who have their feet firmly on the ground no matter how much they might love their ships. Most non-canon shippers, in fact, don't expect to see their pairings become canon, and a fair amount of them don't even want them to. (With only a couple exceptions, this is the case for me, personally. Canon relationships almost always bore me. I like what my imagination can come up with much more than the writers on the show.)

And there is progress being made as far as what kind of gay characters are acceptable. A good example is Max on Happy Endings who is, actually, just a regular guy (or as regular as everyone else in his circle of friends) who happens to be gay.

Damn, I love Max. I wasn't into watching Happy Endings, then I saw him in an episode randomly, and I was like 'Is he Gay? Really?' I was so happy to see him, just a regular dude, but lovin' other dudes.

Cause as a boring kinda girl who is lovin' other girls, this is an awesome character.
