Are individual authors making the entire cast gay, or is the net effect across the fandom that every character is being written as gay?

I've seen people make accusations of the former in fandoms which are doing more of the latter, and while I understand the situation can kind of feel the same if you're desperate for appreciation of your favorite het pairing, they're not really the same thing at all.

Where did anything about het pairings come in here? Don't tell me you're one of those people who dismiss anyone who's annoyed by any sort of slash or femslash as a disgruntled het fan.

If you read my other comment, I am a fan of slash/femslash. But fics where the entire cast is gay all of a sudden annoy me so yes it's individual authors. The OP was also talking about individual authors. So... I don't know what your point is here.

It came in because that's the context where I've most frequently seen 'stop making the entire cast gay' as hyperbole come from- it may not be only disgruntled het fans doing it, but they tend to be the most vocal.

And no, it wasn't clear in the OP or in the comment that I replied to whether or not this actually was a single source issue or a cumulative effect- your other comment helped, but enough people use 'literally' non-literally/as an intensifier that I still felt the need to ask.

"actual trans* people on tumblr I follow... It's like every character under the sun is trans* for them"

Emphasis mine.

How is this not clear. It's those people that OP follows, not all of fandom. WTF.

[(Anonymous)]

There are people who take a cast and make everyone gay in their fic. Literally everyone as in every single person is in a homosexual ship or shown to be homosexual. You know this is a real thing that happens, right? You don't even have to look far. Practically every shounen manga fandom with a cast of mostly men is going to end up that way. There's even a TVTrope about it.
