Re: Genuine Question about Slash

[ariakas]

Oh yeah, I'm fine with it too. It's just people writing what they want to write. It's not like I see a lot of 50-year-old women in het or lesbian porn written or drawn by men.

Honestly, though, I thought the phenomenon was pretty common. E.g. Inception, where you have Arthur/Eames, by far and away the most popular ship even though Cobb/Sato have more complex interactions - because Tom Hardy and JGL are hot.

(It's not Breaking Bad, it's CoD, though lol that description really does apply to Breaking Bad too, doesn't it? Except for the "two young hot guys" part - I can't think of who you'd slash Jesse with aside from Walt.)

Re: Genuine Question about Slash

[elaminator]

I'd have no problem shipping 50 year olds (and I've shipped older), but...fandom doesn't tend to be super welcoming in terms of shipping older characters, no. :/

Inception is a big one, yea. (Though I personally ship Arthur/Cobb, but...whatever.) Avengers is too (Coulson/Clint), but I can't think of many others. It might be that I'm in the 'wrong' fandoms though.

(Oh, CoD! I'm not very familiar with CoD so that never would've crossed my mind. It has a pretty big slash following, then? Most FPS games I've played don't, so that's interesting.)

Re: Genuine Question about Slash

[ariakas]

Hahah me neither. I honestly wish there was more of it. But 99% of the fics that do have said 50-year-old take place before a 20-year timeskip in the plot, when he was still young and attractive ;3

I've seen others, in anime and video games, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. It's been years. It's just something I've noticed happens if the two characters the plot focuses on aren't attractive - the slash will be about someone else (whereas if the two main male characters are attractive, e.g. Seifer/Squall, that will be the main slash pairing).

(Eh, it's small but active. And the only way you're going to get het out of it is with an original character, so most of it is slash. And the overwhelming majority of it is dedicated not to the main characters, but to two dudes whose sole interaction is giving/receiving a handful of mission commands. I.. don't get it, but slashers gonna' slash.)

Re: Genuine Question about Slash

[elaminator]

Bah. Not that it couldn't be interesting, but that does sound pretty disappointing if you like the character.

I've shipped people who aren't conventionally attractive (and who a lot of people find downright ugly or just unappealing, lol) and I've seen fandoms do the same, but you do have a point.

(Small but active sounds good though! And CoD is pretty male oriented character wise, right? So that explains why most of the shipping is slash. lol, I don't get Clint/Coulson either but...yup, people like what they like.)
