In fandom, it's often disapproved of.

To give an example: I was in a fandom some years ago for a show that featured a canonically lesbian character. Shipping her with the main female character was considered "disgusting" and "wrong." I wrote a fic centering around that ship and actually received hate mail for it.

It's great that you haven't encountered that sort of response, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't ever happen.

Precisely. It's almost hilarious (though sad) to see it.

You don't have to ship a femslash pairing if that's not your thing. But saying its gross and shouldn't exist at all just because it involves two ladies means you need to grow up.

Thankfully, most bigoted slashers produce substandard slash to begin with in my experience anyway. There are often alarm bells in their own slash work- like insisting that there always has to be an uke and seme type relationship and no other can exist. So as a fan of slash, het and femslash I can sometimes avoid them.

But what are your thoughts on yaoi

From my experience I think m/m is more disapproved of in fandom than anything from what i've seen. There's just more fans of it so it kind of drowns out the haters. People are generally just meh when it comes to f/f and generally don't care especially if you're in anime fandoms where half of the time you'll probably get shit from non yaoi fans for being a yaoi fan.
