Bingo. Same thing happened to me - except I got closed minded because I wouldn't WRITE slash, although I read the same fandom friend's slash fic!

I think there are plenty of cute slash and femslash couples - I may read SOME fic of them, but I'm largely not interested in the smut portion. Then again, I skip smut in het fics too lately...

I got accused of being homophobic for the same reason. Not writing slash does not equal homophobia.

I don't make political statements via my preferences in fic. I support gay rights in RL and I'll write whatever the hell I want.

It sucks because I'm just not homophobic. It hurt because it came from a so-called 'friend.'

If there's a slash ship that changes my mind, I'll happily write about it if the mood strikes me. It hasn't happened yet though. I don't write a ton anyway, especially shippy stuff.

It hurt because it came from a so-called 'friend.'

AYRT. Ouch, that really sucks. I'm sorry, anon.

A friend turned me off a fandom because she was that determined to get me to write slash for her favourite couple. Since I read slash, I must want to write it, right? Actually, no.

[(Anonymous)]

It's okay, there's a reason why we're no longer friends. ;) Okay, a few, but that was a big sticking point for me.

I don't get why people push that kind of thing. Like it's one thing if they suggest it and you decline it and they drop the idea, but if they're persistent it makes me want to do it even LESS.

I despair at that attitude. Just because you read something doesn't mean you can write it.

Yeah, I had something similar happen. Given how strongly and deeply I feel about equal rights and marriage rights for LGBT in RL, it made me physically ill when that happened. People lose a lot of perspective in fandom, and the internet makes it incredibly easy to throw shitty judgments at people, just because they don't agree with a particular ship. It's pretty sick, and a large part of why I left fandom.
