I am not the OP, so I have no idea what their intent was, I really can only speak for myself. I don't think the majority of het fans think the way you described, but I see them keep getting accused of this whenever they say anything about it. I just think you were overreading, and getting sensitive about it when you really didn't need to be. Like I said, the secret isn't even about m/f or m/m at all. For all we know the OP could just like Relena and still hate 1xR, which yes, people like that exist out there.

Agreed. I'm sorry for the overreaction. My fandom history involves being a part of a fandom where writing het was seen as the ultimate mark of fandom maturity and acceptance (and woe be unto you if you hated the OTP), where writing yaoi was something only acceptable by those who were friends of the then-BNFs.

Understandable. Being a veteran of GW, I was in the opposite boat, being that I liked het, but was pretty much ridiculed for it, for being too bland or not being awakened to the pure love or some such one got in yaoi. And now that I ship het, yaoi, and yuri (although mainly het and yuri, since I am one of the weird ones who relates better with female characters than male ones) I just realize how ridiculous the whole thing is. People should just revel in their own preferences and not worry about what so and so is into, because really that is just bringing on a whole bout of unnecessary drama and stress.

And no need to apologize, I wasn't offended, just a little perturbed.
