I don't mind homosexual relationships in fiction/fanfiction. What I hate about slash is when they trounce canon to do it, like the narrative supporting male!X could never have possibly had feelings for a woman (usually with a heavy helping of misogyny and character bashing, especially if said female is the canon love interest), or when the only possible way to make it happen is to either kill a female love interest horribly (again, usually with some measure of "she deserved it for being such a whore/slut/bitch"), or turn her into some shrieking 'harpy' to justify shoving Male Love Interest into the arms of another man.

Maybe it's the fandoms I'm in, but that seems to be the majority of it, and tbh, it's mostly put me off of slash in general. :\

...what you're complaining about is bad slash, seriously. Most slash fans complain about that crap as well, because it's well worth complaining about. :/

[(Anonymous)]

Depends what fandom you're in. In some fandoms where slash pairings are big, it's commonplace.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, by BAD writers.

[(Anonymous)]

When it's bad writers or no writers... :(

Sucks, being in tiny or mostly dead fandoms.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, but character-bashing and misogyny are rampant in bad het as well. I've avoided reading several het pairings I liked across various fandoms because of it.

That kind of fic was the majority in one of my recent fandoms and it has all but ruined slash for me. I still read it on occasion, but the shine has definitely worn off.

I mean, the point of fan fiction is to take already established characters, worlds, and storylines, and then apply your own creativity/preferences to them. If someone wants to make two canonically heterosexual characters gay with each other, what's the big fucking deal? I really could never understand people who tried to shit on other peoples' fan fictions by screaming, "OMG BUT IN CANON!!!!1". Yes, they know it's not canon (mostly, hopefully). They're writing a story. Just like people who write stories about Snape fucking Hermione while Hedwig watches and owl-masturbates is aware that their relationship is not canon.

See, for me, it's not that it's "not canon". I read plenty of fic for ships that aren't canon. It's when it's presented as a canon plausibility while shitting on canon by demonizing or fridging the characters that 'stand in the way' that gets my back up. Yes, it happens in het. It's not just a slash/femmeslash trope, but (again, possibly my fandoms) it seems to happen far more frequently on the slash side.
