But...why is this different than a certain sexual preference? I mean, I have a preference for certain things between certain characters in different fandoms. Some have been slash, some have been het. Sadly I haven't had too many femslash pairings, which is actually because I haven't found well-written-enough fic to be able to picture it. Some couples I ship have more nurturing dynamics, some are more antagonistic, some are angsty, some are bouncy and happy, all regardless of gender. Don't we all have our own tastes?

I think the key difference is that somebody who fetishizes homosexuality really only likes slash because if one hot guy equals 100, then two hot guys equals 200. It's not about character dynamics or relationship development, it's just about fapping to two hot guys being naked together, and then they go on and on about how progressive they are because they ship a slash pairing.

I guess basically a good litmus test is are they treating the characters as characters, or are they treating them as sex toys? If you used Search+Replace to change the character names to a pair of characters from a different fandom, does the fic make the same amount of sense?

I don't really care if people are into slash for the fap material, whatever you get off to is your business, it's when they ship slash for the fap material and then pretend that it somehow makes them more progressive is what I can't stand. These are the kind of people who proclaim that they hope one day they have a son and he comes out to them as gay, so they can ship him with his friends and talk about slash with him. They treat gay men as toys, not people.

~they hope one day they have a son and he comes out to them as gay, so they can ship him with his friends~

......please tell me you're exaggerating, or coming up with the most ridiculous possible example of what someone might say. I know a regular f!s visitor should have gotten over the whole 'People like that actually exist?!?' thing by now, but goddamn.

I really, really wish I was exaggerating, anon. :(

I can attest to this as well. I saw that post on tumblr thanks to a friend of mine who was quite upset by its existence and insisted I see the horrible stupid. I couldn't believe it either at first.

DA has seen this as well, more than once even.
