(Anonymous) 2013-09-05 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)I feel the same about het and femslash, I should have mentioned that instead of just saying het, sorry.
It's not only excuses, though. What people mean when they say that those women aren't written well is that they aren't written well ENOUGH to make people overcome their original preference for slash over het or femslash. As I said, it takes AMAZING female characters with AMAZING chemistry for me to go like "oh, I don't really find femslash (or het) hot, but this is just too interesting, I'm going to read it anyway." And we unfortunately live in a world where there are relatively few shows/movies/books that focus heavily on relationships with women. A lot of female characters out there are are more likely to have meaningful relationships with men, which easily explains why there's a lot more het than femslash out there.
Also, not ALL popular slash ships are like Clint/Coulson and have about zero canon basis. A lot of popular slash ships are actually about two men who have very intense, meaningful relationships in canon (both Dean/Cas and Dean/Sam from Supernatural come to mind - whether you ship it or not, you can't really deny that they have EXTREMELY close, complicated relationships). So it's not all "lol two hot dudes I want them to bang".
