Um, pretty sure 98% of slashfans would be happy if at least one of their characters entered a canon gay relationship, even with someone else. because that would show their pairing was at least a possibility, and that the creators are willing to give them canon slash.

I admit I have met one homophobic slash fan - loved slash but in the end found religion - but pretty sure the vast, vast majority are going to be supportive of queer representation. and would rather see a character get with a same-gendered person than opposite gendered, because it's still slash.

Say what you will, het ships and slash ships aren't equal. They should be, but one is normal and happens everywhere, one is almost exclusively left to the fan's imagination. having one character enter a gay relationship with a different character, even if it isn't your OTP, means something - and I think most slash fans would agree.

(That being said, I agree that liking a slash pairing doesn't mean you are an LGBT ally or a part of the fight for queer equality. I just don't see the point in questioning people's motives for wanting queer representation.)

Most of the really die-hard shippers of fandom OTPs (which are usually slash) that I know go into fits of anguish at the thought of their pairing being split.

See: the rivalry between Destiel and Wincest shippers. You just try to tell me that one side wouldn't eat the other alive if one pairing became canon. You just try.

That's why it should be Benny/Dean. It would cause the greatest wank in wank history, plus it would be really hot.

Completely off topic, but of course the only Supernatural ship I am vaguely invested in is the most hated one?

I didn't see a huge amount of hate for it, but I'm way out on the periphery of the fandom because I can't take the constant spoilers and complaining about everything that ever happens. It's just that the war for Dean's penis has been raging for so long that I think if someone other than Sam or Cas suddenly swooped in and won it in a really decisive and permanent way, the hardcore shippers on both sides would be united in their rage and it would be absolutely magical.
