I don't get frothingly self-righteous about it, I just don't get the appeal. Don't most people ship slash because they can't usually get that dynamic in mainstream media? You get plenty of het, so much that the rare well-done gay characters just seem special to me. I don't really feel like doing anything but celebrating their in-your-face canonical sexuality.

I ship slash because I like the particular dynamic of two characters and could see it being romantic and/or sexual, not because I'm in desperate need for a gay couple. Het and femslash are the same way.

Perhaps. My thing about good gay characters still stands though. After years of invisibility, I can't help but feel protective. It's nice not to have to be, ah, 'desperate' about it.

But it isn't like the SHOW is making her straight/bi. It is fanfic (which regardless of what Tumblr thinks) has no affect on whether a ship is going to become canon or not.

I'm not telling you what you should or shouldn't do, anon, I'm just sharing and explaining my personal feeling about the phenomenon. I don't think it's particularly offensive or erasing, I just don't like it. /shrug

I ship unconventional pairings, both het and slash, because what interests me most in fandom is reading stories about how these people who are not in relationships in canon might start relationships. It's why the getting together parts of fic are always my favorite and why I'm very rarely interested in established relationship fic. I like the hard road to understanding why X character gets with Y character.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-17 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
If that hard road is the mental gymnastics I'll need to pull in order to straigtify a lesbian for the sake of porn, I'll pass. Hell, that's even a porn stereotype: the Hot Lesbian who will bang a guy in spite of her ladies loving ways.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-17 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Even if that's why slash is shipped, isn't slash the majority of fic in the SPN fandom anyway? So wouldn't shiping Charlie/Male character kinda be the inverse?

(To be clear, the canon is not slash majority, the fandom is.)

(Anonymous) 2013-11-17 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
yes because gay men and lesbians are the same and representing one is automatically representing the other
