I was having a weird fandom-related argument with a few friends so I thought I'd pose the question here.

Let's say a slash pairing becomes canon in one of your fandoms. The catch is that it's half of your OTP with a character you either are indifferent to or actively dislike. Are you happy that there's a canon slash pairing at all, or are you pissed that it's not your preferred pairing? Do you think having more canon same sex couples, no matter who they are, is good because it means more representation of gay/bi people in media, or that it doesn't matter because gay/bi characters in fiction don't really mean much in the overall scheme of real life gay rights anyway?

I've come across both opinions and I'm curious to see what people here think.
