17. You had me until "heteronormative" then you just shot your argument into the ground. Congratulations.

18. Have you considered the fact that lesbians would like a strong model, regardless of the fact that it may have been done just for the ratings/fans/whatever?

To say that mainstream TV isn't heteronormative is rather uninformed. I don't think the secret maker implied that it's a good thing, rather that is is a fact about mainstream television at the current moment and some people in fandom need to accept that.

I'm sorry, but that's how it read to me.

Well, uh I guess that's how it goes?

OP here.

Well, that's not what I meant. Sorry if it came off that way, but I thought the "get off my side" was sufficient enough to indicate that I'm a slasher too. I just get annoyed at people who truly think that they'll become canon, or insist that they already are. It's not entirely impossible (Willow/Tara from BtVS is a good example), but there's no denying that it's extremely unlikely. To say that mainstream works aren't heteronormative is just being blind. I certainly don't think it's a good thing, but that's just the way it is.
