AYRT

The reverse is pretty much never true.

Sure it is. I crunched some numbers for various m/m slash-dominated fandoms on the AO3. (I picked the AO3 because the tagging system makes it very easy to access data on the proportions of m/m and m/f fic. Since the AO3 tends to have more of a m/m slant than sites like fanfiction.net, we can assume that for most of the fandoms I examined, the m/m slash bias would be less pronounced if we considered the internet as a whole.)

On AO3, Hunger Games fic is tagged m/f 1850 times and m/m 195 times. 67 stories contain both m/f and m/m. That means that the ratio of m/f to m/m Hunger Games fic is somewhere between 9:1 and 14.5:1 (depending on whether you count the 67 m/m + m/f fics as m/f, m/m, or neither).

By comparison, here are the ratios of m/m to m/f fic in a number of large fandoms that I've always considered to be very m/m slash-dominated. (For the following fandoms, I counted m/m + m/f fics as m/m, under the assumption that most of them have m/m as the endgame pairing. If I'm wrong in that assumption, then some or all of these fandoms could have even less of a m/m bias than my numbers suggest.)

2.5:1 Marvel Cinematic Universe
2.5:1 Star Trek: The Original Series
4.5:1 Star Trek: Alternate Original Series
4.5:1 Stargate Atlantis
6.5:1 Merlin
6.5:1 Person of Interest
8:1 Inception
8:1 Suits
8:1 Supernatural
11:1 Sherlock
18.5:1 Hawaii Five-O

So, with the exception of Hawaii Five-O (whose fandom I'm seriously going to avoid from now on), it's apparent that your typical m/m slash-dominated fandom still manages to generate quite a lot of het: usually in amounts far greater than the proportion of m/m slash in The Hunger Games fandom.
